From the Dungeons of Morningstar, I'm Clint.
And I'm Stretch, 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 crossed our feeds, and we get to check
out some of the latest trailers that have dropped
this week. What kind of tidbits have you got
for us this week, buddy? That have crossed our
feeds? Yeah. Well, you want some news. Yeah.
The hard -hitting news. I do. I don't have hard
-hitting news, but I've got some good screenshots.
Okay. So, first up, we're going to go back because
it was six years yesterday that Mahershala Ali
was announced as Blade. Six years. Yeah. So disgusting.
But Kevin Feige confirms that the new Blade movie
will focus in the modern day. and the Fantastic
Four and the Thunderbolts writer is now doing
it. Right, okay. He's now writing the script.
So as we went and seen some things last night
and we've seen Thunderbolts, we both like both
of those things. Yep. If they stick to that sort
of shit, I'll be happy. Well, I think it was
a couple of weeks ago I said that when Mashallah
Ali was doing the tour for Jurassic Park. or
Jurassic World Rebirth, he had said that they're
happy with the script. Fingers crossed, baby.
Let's just go. Let's just go. Even if it's shit,
just go. 100%. Look, even if it's not 110%, that
movie, it's still going to be a success, dude.
Oh, yeah. People have been clamouring for Blade
for 10 years. Yeah, fuck yeah. That's why Wolverine
and Deadpool were so successful. I'm keen to
see it because he's a good actor too. Dude, great
actor. Even in, like, little bit parts, he does
a really good job. Hell yeah. But give him some
leg room, I reckon he can do some good shit.
And he deserves to be the main for a change.
Absolutely. Absolutely. Dude, he's, you know,
he's the antagonist or he's the fucking off -sider
or he's never – give him something to stretch
his legs on. Well, season three of – Yep. True
Detective. True Detective, yes. I enjoyed him
in that. I thought he was good. Yeah. That was
the one that was in the 70s. It went back. Back,
yep. I don't mind when they do that. Speaking
of going back, they have officially greenlit
the Assassin's Creed TV show. I did see that.
It's in my news. Yes. After five years when they
first initially kind of teased that. Did you
ever watch the Michael Fassbender movie? Yes.
Did you like it? No. I haven't seen it. Yeah.
I might give it a watch. I never played the game
though. The games are good. Some of them are
a bit different. Okay. Well, when I say I didn't
like it, I didn't love it. It was watchable.
Yeah. Fair enough. Interesting premise. One of
my favourite ones of that whole thing was Black
Flags. What was the Black Flags? I think it might
have been. The pirate one, yeah. It was good,
man. Viking one. Viking one. No, it was Valhalla.
It was good. I liked that a lot. I got that on
PC. It's so good. Kevin Foggy has also admitted
that he's talking to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman
to return for this new phase, which confuses
me. Phase six or seven. I can't remember. Six.
I don't know. It's so confusing, dude. I don't
get it. Yeah. I might be the only person that
doesn't understand it, but. Well, to tell you
the truth, I don't think they get it at the moment.
I think they're reeling. They're scrabbling for
something. Which is kind of sad because Fantastic
Four and Thunderbolts was good. I enjoyed it,
man. I think they're getting back on the right
path. And he said something a couple of weeks
ago. This was like we were pumping out too much
during COVID and then the rider strikes happened
and it was more about quantity than quality.
One thing I do wonder about how – A lot of people
say that, you know, we get to these later phases
that these movies are dropping off. I think they're
all right. I just, I worry that people are comparing
them to the movies that they're viewing through
the lens of nostalgia. When you're talking about
15 years ago, yeah, it's nostalgic. I mean, some
of the people that are writing these reviews
might have been kids when Iron Man came out.
Yeah, well, he's been a lot younger, for sure.
Yeah. Absolutely. Like, I'm... only going back
and watching them again with Landon now, and
they're good. But they're not as good as you
remember them being. Well, some of them have
been better, like Captain America. Winter Soldier.
No, no. The original. The original, First Avenger,
was better than I remember it being. But at the
same time, I would almost say that some of these
newer movies are better in a movie aspect, but
they might not have that kind of. Sheen to them,
like the pop or something. I don't know. It's
funny. Like some of them I reckon are comparable
to the original movies, just maybe the fact that
they're not the mainstay characters. The OG characters.
Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. But that's the thing.
You're not going to – you can't have Robert Downey
Jr., Chris Evans and Chris Emsworth for the rest
of our lives. Well, the thing is we had – in
those original phases that fell off, but they
came back in the Avengers and shit like that.
Like Iron Man 2 was ragged on. They were, yeah.
Yeah, Thor Dark World was ragged on. That got
panned hard, didn't it? Yeah. And then you look
at Ragnarok directly after it was a direct sequel.
Yeah. It's the best. It's always in the top three
Marvel movies. Absolutely, yeah. So I don't know.
Like I think. In the future, potentially, looking
back at some of these later phases, people might
realise that they might actually be better than
I remember. Well, you've actually inspired me
to want to re -watch The Eternals. I want to
give that another watch because I think, again,
it was a whole heap of characters that I wasn't
familiar with and it didn't have the soundtrack
to Guardians of the Galaxy to reel me in. You're
right about that. Guardians were characters that
I had no idea about. But there was that familiarity
with that was music that my mum used to jog around
the house to when she was cleaning or you'd come
home from school and she'd be out in the pool
and she'd be blaring that sort of music. So it
was that nostalgia. That movie was lightning
in a bottle. There was a lot of, you know, things
that went right for it. I honestly believe that
it's, man, this sounds so fucking cocksucky,
but the James Gunn effect of it all, man, I think
he just gets shit. Yeah. I think he just knows.
I mean a needle drop. Music, we've talked about
music before, how important music can be. Oh,
it's imperative, dude. So, yeah, anyway, we're
getting off subject. We're talking about news
and we might return to this. Is it my turn? I
believe it's my turn. Okay, go. Yeah, Hans Zimmer.
Yes, I heard. Will be joining Euphoria Season
3 as a composer. Now, I haven't watched any of
the Euphoria. It is quite good. It's good. Is
it really? Yes. Okay. I don't believe it because
you don't like Aquaman. And last night you said
you were going to re -watch Aquaman. I have never
said such a thing. You said last night when we
finished Fantastic Four that you were going to
re -watch Aquaman 1 and 2. You might have been
a little bit fucking tired when you heard that.
Have a dose of chocolate. I'm excited for that.
Anything Hans Zimmer does, man, is just gold.
The first poster for Avatar Fire and Ash was
released yesterday. Yep. And it will be in theatres
December 19. So Merry Christmas to me. That's
going to be a big month. So you got that and
then you got Stranger Things. Yep. And I've re
-watched that trailer a few times. I'm excited.
Yep. I didn't think I'd be excited again for
Stranger Things because I was so heartbroken
at the end of last year. But yeah. And they keep
throwing in bits and pieces of her when she was
the goth. God, that was a shit season, wasn't
it? Yeah. If I'm going to tell anybody to watch
it, I'm going to say skip season three. Yeah.
Shit. Now that's all your news, isn't it? No,
I've got a couple more things. Oh, okay. Let's
go. So Evil Dead Burn is in production. So it's
the third installment of the remakes. Have you
watched either of them? I watched the. I watched
the first one, Evil Dead. Evil Dead, yeah. It
was good. It was good. I haven't seen the second
one. Evil Dead Rise or Rises. It's supposed to
be better than the first one. Yeah, right. Okay.
And Evil Dead Burn is a direct sequel to Rise.
Okay. That's fair enough. It's not going to have
Ash in it. And he did. Did you ever watch his
TV series he made, Ash versus the Devil Dead?
I did, yeah. King. Fucking funny. He did. He's
so good. Yeah. Everything that Sam Raimi does,
he always puts him in it, and it's always just
a little bit part, and it's so fucking hilarious.
Yeah. Master of the Universe has its release
date. It's June 5th, 2026. Yeah. The title card
dropped yesterday. I was hoping for a trailer.
Yeah. I've seen that, and they're showing pictures
of the Sword of Power, which looks sensational.
Is that all your news? No, I've got two more.
You said you had three. Yeah, and then I realised
I had two more. Wow. So they released the first
images for, did you ever watch Avatar The Last
Airbender? I fucking loved it. It's great. No.
So. There's 7 ,000 episodes. I'm not watching
it. There's three seasons. 7 ,000 episodes. And
then there's a whole second one. But, yeah, so
they released the images today, or an image,
and it's called Avatar Seven Havens. Is this
animated or is it live action? It's animated.
Right, okay. I'll show you a picture and I'll
put it up on the screen. Ooh, that looks cool.
It looks like the Arx Evolve series. So are you
familiar with the show at all? Avatar. Avatar,
yeah. I know there's a stupid little whiny kid
and he's got a sick -ass pet. Yeah. Poppa. Yeah.
So there's the whole first season, there's three
seasons of the first iteration, which is. I thought
you said there's three seasons of the first season.
Yeah, three seasons of the first iteration. Right.
That's with Aang. So originally it was called
Avatar until James Cameron brought out Avatar
and then they had to change it to Aang, The Last
Airbender. No, isn't it Avatar, The Last Airbender?
Because when M. Night Shyamalan. was releasing
his movie. That's when the first Avatar came
out. And they were both going to release Avatars
and he called his the last Airbender. I believe
they changed the show as well. Yeah, right. Yeah,
they had to change the show. I think James Cameron
could have changed his movie to something else.
It didn't need to be Avatar. No. Call it Pandora
or something, like the world that they're on.
Yeah, like Pandora, Fire and Ash. Especially
because in the second season it has nothing to
do with him going into an artificial body or
anything. Oh, the stupid humans are still going
in Avatars. But then, yeah, I agree. So first
season is like pre -industrial age. There's fucking
factions around the world. He's been gone for
100 years and comes back and kind of reunites
everything. The second one, the second iteration
is Legend of Korra. I've heard of that one, yeah.
So it's more kind of like industrial age. It's
like so many years in the future when one Avatar
has passed away, she becomes a new Avatar. Korra?
Korra. She's the new Avatar. Isn't that the chick
who helps out Aang in the first iteration? No,
no, no. That's Katana? Katara? Katara. Katana?
That's his girlfriend. Yeah, Katara. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. Yeah. And then Korra is when he reincarnates
after he passes away. Right, okay. And she's
like a teenager. She's older, obviously, because
people who watched the first one have grown up,
so they aged her up a bit. And a whole heap of
shit goes down and she kind of screws everything
up. Oh, boy. So this one is her, you know, reincarnation
again as an earthbender this time because it
goes in a cycle. Yep. She's missing a limb and
she was going to be slightly disabled, whatever.
It's in the wake of what Korra has done. Dude,
you've sold me on this more than fucking M. Night
Shyamalan did. Yeah. So in Aang, the Avatar was
missing, but he was this god saviour. Yep. In
the second one, she kind of turns on its head.
In the third one, the Avatar isn't wanted. Oh,
shit, yeah, right. So she's a bit of an outcast,
I think, yeah. Yeah, I like that. Don't need
to reboot. Recreate. Different stories. But the
thing is they're bringing out this new TV series.
They're also bringing back, so there's unanswered
questions from the first one and they're doing
an adult version, like when they've grown up
going on adventures. So the original party filling
in the gaps between. Aang, Zuko and Katara. Yep,
and Toph. Yeah, when they're older. Toph is the
blind earthbender. You haven't seen the TV show,
so you've only seen the movie. No, no, no. I
know sort of the TV show, but I've never seen
Toph. So she's the earthbender, little blind
girl, full of attitude, pretty cool character.
Yeah, right. Yeah. Look, you've done a better
job selling Avatar The Last Airbender to me,
better than anyone. That sounds actually pretty
enticing. I mean, I loved it. I mean, it was
a kid's cartoon and I watched it in my early
20s. Is it something you can watch as a kid?
Yeah, Landon's finished watching the first one.
Oh, beautiful. I might sit down. It might be
something me and Logan can watch. Logan will
love it, man. Sweet. All right, I'll get on to
it. Starkiller is coming to Osaka season two.
I did hear that. Yes. Dude, Starkiller has needed
to be on screen since I played that first game.
I never played the game, but I've heard he's
a really cool character. Sick -ass character.
If they're going to bring him in as the son of
mortars, dude, yes, please, go. I haven't seen
the first season of Ahsoka yet, but this could
bring me in. I might have to go retro watch it.
Did you watch Rebels? Not all of it, some of
it, yes. So you'll be familiar with some of the
characters. They bring some of those characters
in. Yeah, right. Yeah, so there's live action
adaptions of those animated characters. Nice.
From all the Unleashed games? No, no, no, no,
from the Rebels. From Rebels. TV show. Nice.
Yeah. Direct correlations. Perfect. To it, yeah.
Dude, I love Starkiller since the first game
of Unleashed. Yep. Phenomenal character. Phenomenal
story, dude. And, yeah, I'll be excited to see
that on the big screen. Yeah, nice. See, this
is the kind of Star Wars that I'd like to see.
New stories, man. Rogue samurai kind of story
arcs going across different fucking, not the
big kind of. Chosen one. Yeah. I don't need to
see any more Skywalker's dead. I really don't.
No. Give me contained stories in corners of the
universe where, you know. Galaxy's massive. Grey
Jedi. Give me more of that because Ahsoka's not
purely fucking. Yeah, she's hot. Okay. Yeah.
My next piece. Yeah. Yeah. My last piece is did
you see the image of Darth Maul from his new
series Shadow Lord? No. No? I have not. I didn't
see this. Didn't you? All right. I'm bothered.
I'll put it up on the screen. Oh, it's animated?
It's animated. Okay. So coming out on Disney
Plus next year. Hang on. Is that going to be
about him and his brother? I don't know. Did
you ever read Darth Maul's comic? I did. Oh,
my. God, how gorgeous was that story? I'm kind
of hoping to it, yeah. If they stick to that
story, it's going to be fucking incredible. Yeah.
It's going to be one of the better Star Wars
shows that have come out in recent times. That's
for sure. Except for Endor. Apparently Endor
was really good. Fuck yeah. I've been waiting
for them to do something with him since they
teased that he was alive again in fucking Han.
Solo, yeah. Han. For sure. By the way, how good
is that picture? It's fucking sick. I love that.
I don't think it's all in frame. It doesn't matter.
Mostly in frame. I've got. The Mario one as well.
And it's by an artist named Matt Lapping. That's
fucking sick. So sick. Were you ever a fan of
the Mass Effect games? I haven't played them,
no. No? Well, there's a TV series coming out.
I did hear that. Made by the same people that
did. Fallout. Yeah. Dude, if that is true, that's
going to be unreal. Because Fallout was probably
the best. No, it was the best game to movie adaptation,
TV adaptation. Do you stand by that? Tell me
another one. The Last of Us Season 1? No, I liked
Fallout better. Okay. I did. I really did. I
liked Fallout better. See, I can't compare because
I didn't play The Last of Us. I've played Fallout.
Yeah. All right. So Fallout was great because
it wasn't copy -paste of the game. It's easy
to take someone else's story and then just act
it out on a screen. There is some stories in
some games that need to be. The Last of Us, when
it came out, it was literally like I could pinpoint
what was going to happen next. It had no weight
for me. That's why I was so hopeful that the
season two wouldn't be the Abby story. And I've
talked about this before. Simple fact being that
I've already seen it, dude. It was done perfectly
in the video game. Twist it. Turn it on its head.
Show us some stuff that's completely different
in season two and three. That's funny because
if they did, people would have complained about
that too. But they would have known that it was
coming and they would have known that the Abbey
season was coming. Like everybody pans the Abbey
game, like season, sorry, not season. Last of
Us 2, people hated it. It wasn't, no one really
liked it. But it's funny because it was so acclaimed.
Dude, it made so many. Awards. Yeah. Got so many
awards. But yeah, not many people liked it. That's
funny. Yeah. Something I'm extremely excited
about, Mark Spector. Mm -hmm. Their green lit
season two for - Nice. People ragged on that
Moon Knight season one. I liked it. People ragged
on the suit. I didn't hate. I didn't hate the
suit at all. No. I thought it looked fantastic.
And Jamie Savage, Jamie Savage, Jamie Savage.
From the, they did Mythbusters. No. Savage is
the other one. Adam. Adam. Adam Savage. Yeah.
So Adam Savage got invited to go to the Marvel
Studios and they actually showed him the suit
that they made. Yeah. And he went through all
the details of it and, mate, it was so well made.
Yeah. So well made. People say it looked, didn't
look right and that. But, I mean, the fact that
it looked kind of a little bit uncanny. Yeah.
Leans into the whole God fucking. It's meant
to be bandages. Yeah. It looked great. I don't
give a shit what anyone says. It looked great.
Yeah. Some photos have been released of the Punisher.
Have you seen them? I haven't seen the pictures,
but I did hear about who was potentially the
big bad. Ooh, I haven't heard that, but hang
on a second. Have a look at this shit. Look at
that beard. How good does he look, dude? Oh,
yeah. Come on. Now, I don't know whether he's
bulked up or not, but he is the embodiment of
Frank Castle, man. Yeah. I love him. I love him
cast as Frank Castle. As soon as they announced
him, I was like, and then I seen him, I'm like,
yeah. Yeah. Because Thomas Jane was my Frank
Castle. I grew up with. Him being Frank Carlson.
But, dude, yeah. Insane. The good thing about
Jon Barenthal is he plays a character that doesn't
necessarily need to be loved and adored. Yeah.
No one likes a punisher. No. Yeah, no. Very cool.
I'd love to see a scene if he's in Doomsday.
I'd love to see a scene where Cap punches the
fucking snot out of him, eh? Like in Civil War.
Yeah. Especially because I think. In the comics,
he idolises Cap. Loves Cap, dude. He thinks what
Cap is the ideal. Yeah. He knows he isn't the
ideal, but he thinks Cap is. And even if Cap
punches him in the face, I think he would appreciate
that. Well, yeah, he's like, I'm not going to
hit you back, Cap. No matter what you do. And
Cap's like, fight back, fight back. He's like,
I'm not going to hit you. Yeah. I'm not going
to hit you. Yeah, the bad. They mention a name.
I can't remember the name. But she is in a wheelchair.
She showed up in the comics. I can't for the
life of me remember her name. She's a crime boss
and she wants revenge on him because he killed
three of her sons who were in, you know, crime
family. Well, maybe they should have got better
jobs. But, yeah, I don't know whether she's just
going to throw waves of people at him or – but
she's the big mastermind. How are they going
to explain? Daredevil born again. Like he's,
them cops have got him tied down pretty tight.
Well, it's a special presentation. So you reckon
it'll be like a prequel or a set aside? It'll
probably be after Daredevil season two. Yeah,
but who's going to explain how he gets away from
that? Or you reckon it'll come out after season
two? Right, okay. I think so. Yeah, because they're
only just filming that now. Yeah. Johnny Depp
is officially set to play Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde. In a comic book, but there's also talks
of a TV show adaptation. They want to use his
likeness in the comic book? Shh. Written by Ridley
Scott. Is that what they want to use his likeness?
Yes, sir. Right. Okay. Written by Ridley Scott,
but there's also talks of a TV show based on
that comic. Right. Okay. That's interesting.
Not comic graphic novel, but. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, yeah. News is a bit short this week. I've
got some shit, but news is a bit short. We've
got Comic -Con this weekend, so we'll have lots
of shit to talk about next week. Absolutely.
No Marvel or DC news. No. Maybe some, but yeah.
Some shit that is dead set made me so happy.
Matt Stone and Trey Parker have sold. Five years
of South Park. What was it? 50 episodes for $1
.5 billion. Billion dollars. Oh, yeah. Billion
dollars. $300 million a year. Now, these guys,
I watched a special on these guys. They pump
out an episode in four days. So they write, animate,
and four days. That's wild. Big money. They're
getting, so they're going to have 10 episodes
a year. Can you imagine how quality these are?
But then again, the first episode they've bought
out has just gone absolute gangbusters and they've
gone all in on the fucking, on the orange guy.
Oh, yeah. On Trump and fucking Satan and making
him dance and begging for sex. Yeah, yeah. Oh,
come on, Satan. I haven't heard the voice. I
want to hear the voice. He's Canadian. What are
you talking about? Is that it? I'm talking about
Trump's voice. It's exactly right. Come on. It's
basically the exact voice of Saddam Hussein.
But the worst part is Satan actually says, you
remind me so much of my ex -boyfriend. Comparing
him to Saddam, he's still having sex with Satan.
Oh, man. Come on. They don't give a fuck, dude.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone do not give a shit.
And if any of them die, we're going to riot.
Mortal Kombat 3 and spin -offs will happen if
the sequel to Mortal Kombat is successful, which
is kind of, it's a given. If it's going to make
money, they're going to keep making them. Well,
I guess the first one made money. They made a
second one. The second one looks bigger than
the first one. The second one looks way better
than the first one. And bigger star power. Yeah,
how do you do a sequel? How do you do a spinoff
to Mortal Kombat though? It's about the tournament.
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. So we're going
to get Curtis back in the Punisher special. Right.
Which I thought I really liked his character.
He's the vet that. the self -help groups. Yep.
Self -help groups. Support groups. Support groups,
yeah. I think his character humanised Frank a
lot. Yep. Having that one constant relationship
humanised him a bit. So I'm all for that. And
Skye Urich has officially been cast in Five Nights
at Freddy's Part 2. Yeah, I did see that. A bit
of a scream reunion. Yeah, hell yeah. Dude, I
love Matthew Lollard. I think he's the tits.
Ever since that, no Sharon Stone. I just love
Matthew Lila, dude. But that is my news for this
week. Sorry it's a bit light, guys. No, I don't
think we still feel that a bit. Yeah, I reckon.
We've still got a few trailers to check out.
Yes, we've got more trailers than we usually
have, but there's a couple we're going to cut
out. I think a couple of teases or we're going
to cut something. There is a couple of short
ones, yeah. So which one would you like to go
first, buddy? Badlands. So this is your first
hunt. And you've come to the most dangerous planet
in the universe. You're after a creature that
can't be killed the definitive apex predator
I could help you Well, good luck with your journey
You're not the predator. Was that an exosuit?
That did look like one of the fucking. It was
a loader, wasn't it? A loader, yeah. I didn't
see the colour of it. It didn't look yellow,
but holy shit, that looks great. Oh, my God.
There's some questions. I don't want to hear
any more questions. Sign that guy up. Just sign
him up to do predator shit. He gets it. Oh, mate,
holy shit, that looks good. It does. Not so much
questions, but curiosities maybe. When she's
talking to it. And it's obviously talking in
the Yutja kind of. Are we going to get like.
Translation along the bottom. Yeah, like is he
going to be able to understand her English while
she. They're both girls. Are they? Sorry. Okay,
is she going to be able to understand her English,
but then she's going to be able to understand
the Yutja language? I think she'll understand
the Yutja. Or are we going to get like Yutja
kind of with. when it's alien talk, but then
when they're talking to each other because, you
know, Android, is she going to be able to learn
and understand the language so they're going
to talk in English in those moments? What would
you prefer? Well, have you ever seen 13th Warrior
with Antonio Banderas? No. So he's from, he goes
to join a bunch of Norsemen, Vikings. like kill
this person that lives in the mountains that's
coming down killing a heap of villagers and shit.
So they get 13 warriors and he's an Arab and
he doesn't speak none of the Norse language.
So at the start he's sort of just watching them
and they're talking. You don't understand what
they're saying because they're speaking Norse.
We don't know what they're saying because as
an audience member there's no subtitles and he's
just sitting there and he's watching for the
first 15 minutes of the movie. And then all of
a sudden he picks up a word and that word will
come out in English. Yep. And then they'll keep
talking and then a couple of words will come
out in English. As he's understanding. He's understanding
and picking it up as they go. And then at the
end they're like, how do you know our language?
He goes, because I listened. Mm -hmm. If it's
something like that, I'm all for that. Yeah,
I don't know. I'm interested to see what they
do with that. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. But holy shit,
that looks good. That looks like a good podcast
people should be watching right now. Dude, yeah.
Wow. Holy shit. Yeah, wow, holy shit, that looked
so good, man. Yeah, fuck yeah. We'll just keep
going with Alien then. Yeah. Second trailer for
Alien Earth. If I'm not human, what am I? This
ship. Collected specimens. Five new life forms
from distant planets. Lock them down. It will
be too late. Yeah, that's not far away, dude.
No. That's next month. Yeah. It's likely. What
did it say? 17th? Yeah, I believe so. So that
was all new footage too. Yeah. Like I was expecting
a rehash of what we'd already seen. That was,
yeah. Noah Hawley, the creator of that, what
else has he done? I'm not too sure. But, yeah,
I don't know. There's some compelling looking
cast of characters in that. I'm interested to
see some new specimen of alien in that universe.
Yes, dude. Absolutely. Yeah, so. We've at least
got one xenomorph in there, but then we've got
four other new species we've never seen in this
whole kind of universe before. I don't know what
exists in the comics and stuff. Yep. But that
could be quite interesting. So he's done such
things as Fargo, Fargo, and Fargo. Right. He'd
done Legion, the TV show Legion. Wasn't bad,
the first season. I haven't seen the second season.
Yeah, he created that. Yep. But, yeah, Fargo
and Alien Earth is really the first, yeah. Okay.
It hasn't done much, but it looks good. It looks
beautiful. Holy shit, it looks good. Yeah. And
a TV show. So if it's episodic, I wonder what
sort of episodes it's going to be, whether it's
going to be a different monster each episode
or whether it's going to carry on and they're
all going to. I don't know. It's exciting though.
I'm down to explore more of that world. And the
fact that they're bringing them all to Earth,
holy shit. All right. Now we're going to chuck
in and let's go in animated. So this one's called
All You Need Is Kill. So this is the adaption
of the manga that Tom Cruise's Die Another Day.
No, no, no. Edge of Tomorrow. Edge of Tomorrow.
The working title of that film was, was it Live,
Die, Repeat? Yep. So this is the animated feature
based on that short story. Is that right? Manga.
Manga. Manga. Okay. So this is more faithful
to the original. Okay, sweet. All you need is
kill. Okay? That showed us absolutely nothing,
but holy hell, that looked beautiful, man. Showed
us nothing, but showed us a lot. So much. Dude,
that looked so beautiful. Sounded good too. That
looked so good, dude. Like legit, it showed me
nothing, but there was like little bits and pieces
in it where it brought me back to the edge of
tomorrow. You can match up with. Absolutely.
I like how she writes the number on the back
of her hand. That's pretty cool. That was cool.
I like the look of that big flower looking thing.
I'm guessing that's. The replacement for where
he goes in the end. The Omega. Yeah. Dude, that
looks so good. I'm pumped for that. We're going
to watch this one because it's funny as shit.
The title is amazing and it's probably one of
the best podcasts that's ever been created. Yeah.
Apart from ours. When they got greenlit to make
a TV series based on that podcast, I could not
believe that. Have you watched Vox Machina? Yeah.
Yeah. So good. Yeah, yeah. So this one's called
The Mighty Nein. The Mighty Nein. N -E -I -N.
Yeah, this is their second campaign being brought
to life, and they got greenlit for season five
of Vox Machina. Holy shit, dude. So good. Here
we go. What were you doing in that tent? I told
you, officer. We were just passing through. An
emotion is beautiful again. And leaving trays
of bodies is entertainment for you, sicko. You
got nothing on me. I didn't even have a weapon.
Unless you count these pythons. You guys, this
is just like a true crime novel. Two hot -headed
dicks cranking up the pressure on the perp until
she breaks. Ooh, which one of you is the bad
cop? I take this seriously, miss. Pity, Dobbs.
Your handcuffs are super janky. The ones Mama
uses are so much harder to get out of. And fluffier.
This is profiling, you racist assholes! Well,
maybe not you, big boy. The goblin and the hobo?
No fucking way, I work alone. I swear, their
bodies changed. Ich weiß von nichts. Why would
I turn the audience into reptiles? They pay my
salary! Technically, it should give us a reward.
Maybe a parade. Wanna give me a cavity search?
Make sure I'm not hiding anything? Shut up! We
didn't find any reptile corpses. And a dozen
witnesses saw you blow open the hole so the creature
escaped. You're clearly some kind of criminal
gang. Now give me a name for the booking sheet.
Our name? Fuck off. Oh yeah, we are called...
The sensual seven. There's only six of you. Don't
forget the traveler. That's a dick. Yeah. That
was a dick in that. That looks like a hoot, man.
Yeah. So for people that don't know, this is
an animated series based on a podcast of a live
play game of Dungeons and Dragons. It's how I
got into Dungeons and Dragons. So good. It's
one of the, dude, listening to that YouTube series
was long. Oh, yeah. So good. Yeah. It's, yeah,
great storytelling. Just ridiculously talented
people. Yeah, they're all voice actors. Yeah.
And it's, yeah, it's funny shit. Funny shit.
Matt Mercer is such a good DM, dude. Such a good
DM. You should be more like him. Sorry. Wow,
that was harsh, and I apologize. We're going
to watch. I'm going to save that one there to
last. We're going to miss. We're going to only
watch two more. Which ones do you want to watch?
We'll check out the one battle after another.
Okay. And boom. What I'm doing here. I'm creating
a closed circuit. She's way younger than him.
It's very important to keep your... Classically,
yeah. So you don't accidentally detonate your
charge. Don't stop. I want you to create a show.
This is an announcement of revolution. The message
is clear. I'll be seeing you very soon. Not if
I see you first. Bringing justice to the vigilante
group known as the French 75. We are here to
award Stephen Lockjaw with the Medal of Honor.
You have to understand, we're loved. Me and Mom,
we used to run around and do some real bad shit.
They got her. Now they're coming after us. I'm
sorry. I didn't ask for this. That's just how
the cards were rolled out for me. It's not cards.
You don't roll cards. It's dice. Dad, what is
wrong with you? You're right. Let's go. I got
a tunnel. What? What's going on? I need a weapon,
man. All you got is goddamn nunchucks. You know
where I can get a gun? To protect you from all
your mom's stuff, from all my stuff, even though
I know that's impossible. This isn't the end
of the line. Not for you. Whoa, who's this? Oh,
they're just my friends. Now, is that a he or
a she or a they? It's not that. They, them. Okay,
I just want to be polite. Yo, say it. Say it,
baby. Love you, Bob. Love you, too. You know
what freedom is? No fear. Just like Tom Cruise.
Dude, that looks good. It's funny. That did and
didn't look like a Paul Thomas Anderson film.
Agreed. Like there was scenes where it was like
obviously. There was no zombies. No. But God
damn, I didn't mind that. That looked good. It
did. Thank you. Chase Infinity is a fucking cool
name, by the way. The daughter, that's her real
name. I think her parents need to go and. That's
her acting name. Just have a good hard look at
themselves. Dude, that looked so good, right?
It did look good. Pumped. I'll watch the dickens
out of that. But, yeah, god damn, that looked
all right. And, all right, Five Nights at Freddy's.
Boom. I loved the first one, by the way. Freddy
Fazbear's Pizza. Definitely not the Freddy's
I remember. You're thinking of the franchise
location. This? I thought that was Bernadette
then, but it's not. So this is what it's like
being normal? I think we've come pretty far considering
what we've been through. How's Abby? Some days
she's good. Some days she misses her friends.
This story that you're going to fix those animatronics,
it's only giving her false hope. Can any of you
hear me? Come find us. I will show you the way.
They're out there, Mike. Where? Everywhere. I've
been with you. That's kind of creepy shit. There's
no way that'll work. Dude, that looks cool. Might
have to watch the first one. Yep. Nah. Don't
watch it with your kids. No, definitely not.
Not a kids movie. What the? Dude, that looks
so good. See, that's the thing. When Hammy was
working here, she sat me down and she's like,
told me the lore of Five Nights at Freddy's.
And we, like she put on YouTube videos, it went
for 10 hours and shit, dude. The amount of stories
and the amount of little mini games that come
out that actually. very imperative to the story
was insane. But, dude, that looks so good. Good
fortune is what we're watching next. This one
here popped out of nowhere and it's Keanu Reeves
as an angel. He's an angel. My name is Gabriel.
I'm an angel. I'm here to save you. What? Who
the fuck are you? I'm an angel. See the wings?
I know all about you. I know you lost your job.
I know you're living in your car. I did everything
I was supposed to do and nothing's working out.
I'm not really supposed to be doing this. I'm
normally only in charge of saving people from
texting and driving. Wait, you're telling me
I have a budget guardian angel? Kinda. My life
is just in the service of people like Jeff. Arge.
I'm Jeff, a pledge. The people who actually get
to live. Fix my cold punch. get a disco floor
for my party, and find a shaman to take me on
an ayahuasca journey. Maybe I can show you that
that life is not all it's cracked up to be. You
wanted to have wealth and success? Now look at
you. Jeff's life is now your life. What happened
to Jeff? Is there any update on the Huevos Rancheros
for Alex? He has your life. Gabriel, why did
you do this? I tried to show him that wealth
wouldn't solve all his problems. And it does.
And? It seems to have solved most of his problems.
You gotta switch back, man. So what? I just go
back to living in my car? You lived in your car?
Yes, Jeff. I did. Why do you think? I think an
angel got involved because I had too many roommates.
Don't go tough it out for a few days. You think
because I'm a tech bro, I can't live your life
for a little while? I came from nothing. I'm
self -made. What did your parents do? My father
was an orthopedic surgeon. This is too hard.
How do people do this without just being miserable
and angry all the time? You're up here in this
huge house. I'm fighting just to get by. They'll
never believe me, but I've been there. Give me
God. I want a meeting with God. It's Jeff! What
has happened to you, Gabriel? You're smoking
cigarettes now? Leave me alone, Jeff. I like
it. It's all I have. Can you fly? My wings are
too small. Is that the size of the wing? Actually,
it is. Oh, that's too bad. That looks pretty
funny. Dude, it looks so good. It looks like
a stoner film without being a stoner film and
I'm all for that. Well, that is all of the trailers
that we had for today, my friend. It is. And
that's all the news that I've got. Wrap us up
and then be on. You want me to do it? You do
it. Oh, okay. That's us for the Pop Culture News
for the week, guys. Like, comment, subscribe.

Comic -Con this weekend, so hopefully we'll see
