From the Dungeons of Morningstar, I'm Clint.
And I'm Stretch. And this is Prevailing Strange.
Welcome back guys to our week in review. A segment
of Prevailing Strange where we get to talk about
some of the content that we've checked out this
week. What have you checked out this week, buddy?
Well, we're going to leave what we went and seen
last night. Till the end. Yes. Now, I haven't
watched what you watched today yet, but I'm more
than happy to talk about it. So spoiler away
so I don't give it a continental shit. I will
not spoil anything. I will give a slight overview.
I've seen one image from the film you watched
today and it has me concerned. And we'll talk
about it later. But I have watched some great
shit. A show that I will always re -watch. It
is the best show that's ever been put on television.
Yes, it's better than Friends. Yes, it's better
than Scrubs. Yes, it's better than Brooklyn Nine
-Nine. Yes, it's better than Big Bang. It's Ted
Lasso. Ted Lasso is fantastic. You talked me
into watching it. Dude, I sit there and it was
playing during the day for the last week. and
I've got the sorest throat because all I do is
cry, man. That show is just perfection, and I
don't give a shit when anyone says, I have people
in the shop and they're like, I'm not going to
watch it because it's a soccer show. It's not
a soccer show. It barely has anything to do with
soccer. Basically. I wasn't going to watch it
because it was a show about soccer. The script,
the characters, the actors. It's just perfect
television. There's no – I'm scared for this
new season four that they're making because they're
putting a hat on a hat. You've got something
perfect that had the perfect wrap -up, dude.
Like, would have I have rather him stay? Spoiler
alert. Fuck you. It's been there for three years.
Go away. If – I would have much rather him stay
in Richmond and his ex -wife and kid moved to
England and he was the coach to Richmond for
the rest of time. And Rebecca being the boss
is just sensational, man. She's so stunning,
so beautiful, and she plays her role so well.
And she's been around for a time, man, and no
one gave her a chance on TV. No one gave her
a chance in movies. She's a Broadway actress.
She knocks it out of the park, dude. Every single
person in this show just knocks it out of the
park. The script is perfect. The way they acted
is perfect. I'm getting emotional here just talking
about it. And you can tell because some of the
guys and girls that have been in this show have
gone on to do bigger stuff since. Absolutely.
Well, last night we've seen Dr. Sharon was in
Fantastic Four. Jamie Tartt can't come back for
the fourth season because he's got more roles
that have just been offered to him. Now, you're
more familiar with the names because you're only
watching it again at the moment. He's off -sider,
the state officer, tower boy. Nate. Nate. Done
well because you hated him. You hated that guy.
Eventually, you felt sorry for him. You liked
him. Oh, my God. Then you hated him, and then
there was a redemption. I hated him more than
cancer, dude, and I lost my mum to cancer. The
hate that you have for that man in that third
season is unbridled. And then he's gone out and
he's a three -way lead role in a movie that came
out not that long ago. Yeah, right. With two
other big stars. I've seen their heads pop up
in different things since then. The only time
I've seen him, and his name's Nick. I can't remember
his last name. But the only time I've sort of
seen him before. Ted Lasso was on 8 Out of 10
Cat Stars Countdown. Bro, just on your way to
work, okay, put your phone up where you can watch
it, just listen, and there's highlight reels
of I'm going to send you a couple of great ones.
If you've never seen 8 Out of 10 Cat Stars Countdown
with Jimmy Carr, you're dead set. You're missing
out, bro. Insanely. Funny television. Okay, I've
never watched the show. I've seen plenty. Have
you ever seen Carrot in a Box? Is that the, what's
his name? Oh, mate with the glasses, he opens
the box up and he goes, I've got the carrot.
Yeah. Now I'm going to swap that box. Yeah. I've
seen plenty of that, yeah. Eight out of ten cats
does Countdown. Sensational. Can you say that
slower because I haven't got it. Eight out of
ten cats does Countdown. Right. Yeah. There's
eight out of ten cats, and then you've got eight
out of ten cats does Countdown. Right. So is
that like a comedy trip or something? No. It's
just like, you know how you got four out of five
dentists recommend Colgate? Eight out of ten
cats will play Countdown sort of thing. It's
a hilarious show, dude. And I'm getting emotional
talking about it, so I'm not going to. But, yeah,
watch A, Let's Handcast, Let's Count Down. What
about you? I'll start off with the book that
I finished this week. We're going one for one,
please, mate, because I've watched more than
that. You go. Wasn't I just talking about the
thing? Calm down. You're getting hostile and
I want you to just re -evaluate your tone. You
start with Ted Lasso. Now it's my turn and I'm
starting with the book that I listened to this
week. It's the sequel to Annihilation. Oh, okay.
Yeah, now I've got your fucking attention. Okay,
yeah, you do because I'll watch that on Stan.
Stan, yeah. Great show. I like that movie, dude.
Sell me. Sell me on the sequel. So from like
trying to remember the movie, I think the first
two books must have been out when they made the
movie because. There was like the whole third
act you were telling me about when she's back
at the Southern Reach. Yes. Which didn't happen
in the book. So no, I'm good. So I think the
second book is in the wake of the first book.
Right. And it's all at Southern Reach. Well,
you were telling me that they didn't survive
when they came back in the book. But she did
in the movie. Well, you didn't know. It was up
in the air. Yeah. So, yeah, in this book it's
the Southern Reach and you've got a new kind
of lead. So in the first book they don't have
names. Everyone is known by their profession.
Yep. It has to do with going into Area X. They
don't want to have names and identities and shit.
comes in as the lead for the second one. He comes
in as the new kind of director of the Southern
Reach. Okay. I can't remember. In the movie,
the psychologist. Dies. Dies, yeah. Not quite
so. Anyway, so he calls himself Control because
he's come in to look after shit and he's got
like – he comes from a family of like spies and
stuff like that. Yep. I don't want to go too
much into it. But, yeah, it's in the wake of
what has happened on the 12th expedition. The
interviews with them, which happens in the movie,
doesn't happen in the first book, with those
who have come back. Right. And kind of the area
X coming out. Right. So it's still expanding.
Still expanding, yep. Because they stopped that
in the movie. Did they? They stopped the expanding,
yeah. Doesn't it kind of take over at the end
in the movie? No, it stops the expanding and
the expansion is now in people. Very similar
thing in the book. Okay. So, yeah, you get more.
The cast kind of gets bigger, starts off like
everyone doesn't really have a name to begin
with, but then you start to learn people's names.
Right, okay. You learn things about the people
that were on the 12th expedition. Yep. And some
more secrets about what has happened in Area
X. Still no explanation on what or who is responsible
for it. Right. But, yes. I started it, I was
like, oh, yeah, I read the first one, may as
well keep going. Wasn't overly enthused. Now
that I got back into it, I'm going to just punch
out the next two and do all four. Right. And
does it wrap up after the fourth or does it keep,
there's a fifth coming? No, I believe it does.
Okay, that'll be exciting. Yeah. I like an ending,
dude. As much as I like, as much as I like. Expeditionary
Force. Yep. 17 books in, man. I'm ready for a
- 17. 17. I'm ready for a wrap -up. Mm -hmm.
As much as I love hearing R .C. Bray's voice
and I want to hear more about, you know, Skippy
and the Band of Pirates, I want a finish. Yep.
And this is what I'm excited - This is what I
love about Mr. Weir when he writes The Martian.
Finishes. Yep. When he writes Hail Mary, finishes,
he finishes. I want a finish. I want an ending.
And a good one. Don't get tired. I want an ending.
Yeah, absolutely. And the way that they portray,
the way that Andy Weir does that, I cannot wait
for this Hail Mary movie, dude. I'm really excited
for it. Would you prefer something to end and
you want more? Or would you prefer something
to go too long and kind of shitty? I think the
former. I want it to end, and I want it to end
in a good way, but I want more. If it's dragged
out and I'm like, fuck, no, I wish this would
just finish. It tarnishes my memory of it at
the start when I loved it. If it finishes up
at the height of it and… I want more. I've got
rose -coloured glasses on for the whole thing.
Yeah. And it's just a more positive and enjoyable
thing for me. Supernatural. Watched Supernatural?
I've never watched an episode. Oh, man, the first
season was great. It was like, oh, this is kind
of different and dark. And then it just got lighter
and funnier and more kind of less grounded. Supernatural,
bro. Kurt Sutter, the bloke who wrote, directed
Sons of Anarchy, he's got a formula, seven seasons.
He will never write anything that goes longer
than seven seasons. If I can't tell the story
I want to tell in seven seasons, I shouldn't
be a writer. I agree with that. Is that your
first one? That's my first one. My second one
is a documentary. You've seen on Netflix you've
got the train wreck series. Have you watched
one called Train Wreck Poop Cruise? No. I've
heard about it. Bro. So this cruise is only a
four -day cruise. It's going between two ports,
whatever. They've done it a hundred times. Halfway
across this stretch of water, they lose all power.
Can't flush toilets. No air conditioning. They've
got no air conditioning. They've got no food.
All they've got is what's already pre -prepared.
About three days after there's no power, the
bottom decks start flooding with excrement. There's
photos in the lobby of this ship of shit and
piss just floating up. It's horrifying. And it's
like I'm sure they left out a lot of stuff because
I'm telling you right now there was women on
that cruise, there was men on that cruise, and
I'm telling you right now that shit would have
happened and not just the ones that were going
in the toilet. There was videos of people over
the railings just shitting into the air. Oh,
dude. No. Yeah. And it only goes for like an
hour and 10 minutes or. I think it goes for an
hour and ten minutes or something. But the train
wreck cruises – the train wreck docos. So you've
got the Woodstock 99. You've got the fire, the
fire festival. Dude, did you ever watch that?
No. Holy shit, man. Wow. And they want to redo
it. Fuck, idiot. He's selling it on eBay now.
Oh, mate. Ten bucks? I'll give you ten bucks.
It's got fuck all on it. Recommend watching it.
Yep. Like that. And if you want to go on a cruise,
don't. Yeah, well, at least at Firefest, if they
needed to shit, they could go off into the woods.
Yes, sir. You're on a fucking big tin can in
the middle of the ocean. There were people pissing
in the water, in the pools. And then, because
there was no power, there was no filtration,
so it just slowly but surely just turned septic.
You've got 6 ,000 people on a cruise ship just
shitting and pissing constantly. But yeah, so
prep crews. Wow. Yes, sir. Educational. The first
thing I watched was we were talking about Robert
Edgar's movies. So I watched the third one in
that kind of his catalogue, The Lighthouse with
Big Dick Man and William Dafoe. I have not seen
it. Oh, Robert Pattinson. Robert Pattinson. Yes,
sir. It's all black and white. Okay. I think
it's shot IMAX. It's a weird aspect ratio, almost
just a perfect square. Yeah, right. Black and
white. I said that, didn't I? Yeah. It's about
these two, this kind of Robert Pattinson's character
down on his luck, kind of vagrant, just working
any kind of job really. Yep. Ends up on this
island with William Dafoe's character. His ass
is going to be so sore, bro. That poor bloke's
never going to be able to walk. And there's going
to be no wheelchairs on this island, is there?
No. He's fucked. Does he have a donut that he
can sit on? There's none of that. There's no
lube? None of that. Because that's when it's
not going to cut it, man. So they're on this
island together. It's only meant to be a short
stint. The second, which is Robert Patterson
at this time, Swap in and out. Anyway, they're
on this island. And so it's in the same way that
The Witch kind of had period -specific kind of
language. It's very much so in this. He leaned
harder into this. Like, hello, baby dear. Come
over here, good chap. Yeah, there's a lot of,
like, it was kind of hard to understand for a
minute. Yeah, right. Especially William Dafoe
is really kind of deep. guttural kind of sea
shanty voice. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, pretty
gnarly. So he's like the gay elephant of, what's
his name, family gay. Yeah. So it's this whole
kind of descent into madness when a storm comes
in and they can't get off the island in time
and they start running out of provisions. Give
Willem Dafoe an erection, mate, he'll get you
to safety. Willem Dafoe does some weird shit
in this movie. Yes. Fucking hard on for the fucking,
the light, the beacon. Do you see it? No, no.
But it's funny because I watched it afterwards.
Because that's why they would have had IMAX.
To get that whole thing. He's fucking, so he's
the only one that's allowed up near the beacon,
the light, in this lighthouse. And Rob passes
up. What the fuck's he doing in there? He kind
of keeps seeing glimpses of him up there. Anyway,
he sneaks up underneath him and he's walking
around this grate and he's fucking, I think he's
jerking off up there. Yeah, to this fucking light.
Anyway, this fucking – because this descent into
madness is kind of – what's his name who did
Cthulhu and all that in the Mountains of Madness?
Lovecraft. Lovecraft. Kind of Lovecraftian. Yeah.
This fucking big giant tentacle just fucking
lays down across the deck and like – He must
be looking at fucking William Dafoe's dick to
fucking think of that because then there's a
whole heap of jizz just drips down between the
fucking grate and shit. Oh, man. And they run
out of water, so they're just fucking getting
pissed the entire time and fighting and then
slow dancing and nearly, yeah, it's fucking pretty
wild. But, man, some of the close -ups, real
fucking kind of clear. And Black and White does
something about that. Oh, the contrast ratios.
The contrast ratios, yeah. It's so good. Yeah,
it's a weird movie, but it was good. I'm glad
I've seen it. Yep. It's one of those movies that
you see for the experience. Watch it once. It's
a great movie. Can't watch it again. Schindler's
List is like that for me, dude. I love Schindler's
List, one of the greatest movies of our time.
But, dude, I can only watch it once every five
years. Man, Robert Pattinson fucks up this fucking
seagull at one point. It's fucking hilarious.
I would hate to see Willem Dafoe fuck up a seagull.
You're not like that. Holy shit. There's some
otherworldly fucking visions and you don't know
whether it's legit or it's their descent into
madness. Yeah, right. Mermaids and sirens. They're
fucking the dugongs, man. Pretty cool composition
of shots that are based on, like, famous paintings
and stuff. Yeah, right. It's fucking really cool.
I'm sorry to be boring. No, you're not. You're
not. I was up really late last night watching
Fantastic Four with my friend, and he got to
call in sick today, and I didn't, so fuck him.
Yeah, well, the kids just fucking carried on.
Once I got home, there was no chance of getting
any sleep. Yeah, right. Jesus, punch me in the
face. But, yeah, no, I'm really looking forward
to Nosferatu is the next one I'm going to watch.
Right. No, yeah, I'm really digging this Robert
Edgar stuff. Yeah, right. Very cool. It's going
to be intriguing now. I think I'd like to watch
that. Man, like, fucking watch all four of them.
It's going to be a trip, dude. And they're movies
that you kind of want to immerse yourself into.
You don't want to be kind of watching it while
you're tattooing and shit. Right. Yeah. Because
you know how some movies have, like, quiet periods
and there's introspection and there's scenery.
You've got to be fucking fully invested. See,
that's, yeah. The art of cinema. Hell yes, dude.
Abso -freaking -lutely. But that's what I love
about William Pattinson. Like, Robert Pattinson
right now, he doesn't need to do these movies.
He's made his money. He's done the fucking shit
movie where he sold his soul to make. It was
trash. Yeah, absolutely. And now he's doing all
these things where he's fucking filling his cup.
Like he's putting miles on his side. He's enjoying
his work. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. He's
not doing it for a paycheck. He's just doing
it because it's fun as fuck. And he has to be
Batman, motherfucker. Yeah. A show me and Rach
laid down and watched the other night, and we
watched a documentary. It was – she's running
down the beach. What's her name? Pamela Anderson.
We watched her documentary and it was intriguing.
Like she's had a fucking rough life, dude. And
she's sort of starting to get back. She's starting
to get back on her feet and do her own thing.
So I watched a movie with her, Dave Bautista
and Jamie Lee Curtis. And she played Sabrina
the Teenage Witch in the new show on Netflix.
Oh, no, the new one. Sorry. Can't remember her
name. She does great. Something like that. The
movie is terrible. Okay. It's absolutely just
crap. Pamela Anderson can't act away out of a
wet paper bag. Dave Bautista is a highlight of
this fucking thing. He's got hair, looks handsome
as shit. Jamie Lee Curtis is, honestly, dude,
I will watch her act on fucking anything. Except
Freaky Friday and Freakier Friday. Yeah, shut
up. You've seen my reaction to that trailer.
Just abhorrent. But I loved her in everything,
everywhere, all at once. She was phenomenal.
Go back to True Lies, man. It's still one of
the sexiest scenes you'll ever see in cinema.
Holy shit, dude. That striptease is whew. Yeah,
I was confused when I saw that. Yeah. I was like,
what is that and where do I get one? Her legs.
I don't know where they started and where they
ended, mate, but I was happy to be there for
the trip. I thought to myself, holy shit. And
the whole thing with that is Arnold Schwarzenegger
tried to get her fired off that film. Really?
Yeah, because he's best friends with her dad.
He's good friends with her dad. He's like, I
can't watch this. I can't be in the room for
this. Get her fired. Get someone else. And they're
like, no, it was Jamie Lee Curtis. And, dude,
holy shit. Yeah. Coming of age movie, that one.
Oh, totally. Coming, absolutely. But, dude, yeah,
wow. Last show I got. Don't watch it. Went straight
to streaming for a reason. Yeah, okay. That was
terrible. So me and Steph went and seen Jurassic
World Rebirth. Nice. Went into it not expecting
much. Okay. Much the same as when I went and
seen Jurassic World, the first one. Yes, sir.
I was, you know, I would say pleasantly surprised
for Jurassic World, the first one. I didn't mind.
Right, yep. Me neither. I didn't mind it either.
I would put this one above that. Holy shit. Holy
shit. Really? I enjoyed it. I did. Wow. But then
again, you hated Aquaman, so I don't trust you.
Look, if you fucking give these other movies
a chance and you want to give Aquaman a chance,
you need to get your head read. I gave Aquaman
a chance. You gave it one shot. Yep, that's right.
You're not Eminem, dude. You're not Eminem. Dude,
I never rewatch movies. Really? What are you
rewatching now of Lennon? Shut your mouth. He's
watching them first. So you're closing your eyes?
I rarely watch things a second time. What movie
did you watch the other day that you watched
a second time and you go, hey, this isn't too
bad? Captain America, the first Avenger. Yeah,
it was better than I remember. But listen, that
was a lot further back than Aquaman. Aquaman
is in the recent memory and it was shit. It wasn't
average that I thought the first Avenger was.
It was shit. We'll keep returning to this and
I will keep saying it. Shite. Yeah. That's all
I've got to say to you. Cool. Anyway, so this
movie, solid cast. Cast was good. It's got the
highest paid actor of all time in it. Scarlett
Johansson is the highest paid actor of all time.
She has more box office success than any other
actor in history. Really? Yeah. That's cool.
Please allow me to get some numbers up for you.
Continue speaking. It's funny because Steph was
like, oh, you know, do you think she just kind
of continued on her training from the Black Widow
to do this? I was like, not really because she's
not as graceful and as kind of charismatic in
this. She's a little bit, but not Black Widow
spec. The top five. of highest grossing actors
of all time. Number five, Chris Pratt, $14 .1
billion. Zoe Saldana. Zoe Saldana, $14 .2. Robert
Downey Jr., $14 .3. Samuel L. Jackson, he's in
everything, $14 .6. And Scarlett Johansson, $14
.8 billion. Wow, that's pretty incredible. That's
your top five. All Marvel actors. All Marvel
actors, homie. Something like that. But, yeah.
Oh, what's that? Oh, comic book movies and shit?
Fuck off. Get out of here. No, stay. Watch. No,
please. Come back. Yeah. Enjoyed the characters.
We get a whole lot more kind of aquatic dinosaur
action in this. Okay. I'm all for that. I love
Moses Pleasies and all that sort of shit. Than
we've ever had in any other Jurassic movie. They
kind of touch on previous movies and kind of
explain some stuff. So they're acknowledging
that the other movies happened before, right?
They've acknowledged everything, touched on a
lot of things, and I think they've kind of tied
in things pretty well. Okay. I would definitely
say to anybody that's apprehensive about seeing
the movie, see it. It's enjoyable. It's not great
cinema, but it's good. It's a good popcorn flick.
Keep talking. Keep talking. Keep talking about
Jurassic Park. Stop being fucking a bitch. You
just can't acknowledge that Aquaman was good.
You can't acknowledge that it was shit. No, I
can't because it wasn't shit. It was. Keep talking
about Jurassic World. Hurry up. Fucking just
going to pull up there if you're going to be
a sulking little cunt. The worst part is I've
seen an image of. Scarlett Johansson turning
into a fucking dinosaur. Does that happen in
the movie? Fake. Thank flugan. So where that
kind of comes from, so there's scenes in this
movie that are pulled directly from the first
book. Oh, okay. Stuff that's happened that never
originated in the movie. Michael Crichton. Yeah,
Michael Crichton. Shout out. Yeah, so the books
that they're based on, they've kind of been.
Picked apart. Jumbled together. Agreed. The main
narrative of the first book is the first movie,
but then they changed some characters around.
Yep. Less brutal than the book. But then there's
some scenes that didn't appear. Like you get
that the opening scene to the book is the opening
scene to Jurassic Park 2. Right. The rafting
scene, you saw that's from the book. Yep. Then
there's some acknowledgements and stuff like
that. Anyway, so that whole you've seen the AI
picture, it's fucking shit. I'll put it up here.
Thank you. Thank fuck for that. So the original
concept art for the second Jurassic Park movie
was meant to be they're going to an island, very
similar premise to this, that had a lab that
they were doing. They were fucking around with
the genetics, which was. Teased in Jurassic World,
the first one. Yep. I'm fucking around with the
Indominus Rex. Indominus Rex. Yeah. So in the
original concept art, it was supposed to be a
military base. Right. And they wanted to weaponize
dinosaurs. IE Jurassic World. Jurassic World.
But they wanted to do hybrids, human. dinosaur
hybrids. Okay. And it just never happened. Thank
fuck. And so that's kind of always been in the
background. That was an idea at some point. So
this movie has hybrids. There's no human shit
in there. Thank fuck. They're just dinosaur hybrids.
Because reptiles and homo sapiens don't go together.
Just saying. So you get a lot of the normal dinosaurs
that you've seen before in the other movies and
then you get some. lab -created stuff. Ooh, okay.
We should have a scale, right? Would you go to
the movies to watch this again? If I had all
the time in the world and all the money, yeah,
I'd watch it again. Really? Yeah. Fantastic Four?
Absolutely. Yeah. Superman? Yeah. Aquaman? No.
Captain America? Yeah, I would. Okay. I think
that's a good scale. Would you pay to watch it
again in cinema? Would you take time out of your
day to drive to a cinema, watch it, purchase
your tickets, buy your popcorn, walk in, sit
down and watch the movie? If I was less time
poor, yes. Yeah, okay, beautiful. So today I
started watching the show in the shop, Ali put
it on, called Chaos. Jeff Goldblum. Never heard
of it. Jeff Goldblum plays Zeus. You know, it's
about Olympus, the Greek gods. Yep. But it's
set in modern times where everybody knows that
gods exist. Everybody, the gods know that humans
exist. Right. Okay. Humans and gods walk among
earth. It's all right. Blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah. Olympus is a place you can visit where
the gods are. Right. Okay. Looks great. Sounds
great. It's Jeff Goldblum, dude. You're going
to watch anything he's in. I don't know why.
I don't know why, but he is one of them actors
that no matter what he does, you want to watch
it. And no matter what role he does, he's Jeff
Goldblum. He's Jeff Goldblum playing that role.
They write Jeff Goldblum and go, mate, we want
you to play an American gangster. And then it's
just Jeff Goldblum being an American gangster.
Jesus. Funny, witty, and absolutely intrigued
to watch the rest of it because I only watched
two episodes today. Okay. But intrigued and will
watch the rest. So, yeah, Chaos, Netflix. Give
it a go. It's on Netflix, is it? Netflix. Okay.
And the last thing that we watched. Oh, let's
talk about it. Last night we went to see Fantastic
Four. Yes, we did. Yes, we did. The pace of it
surprised me a lot. It was pretty fast -paced,
yes? So fast -paced. So we'll do no spoilers
to begin with and then we'll... Well, we did
see it opening day. Yeah. So I agree with it.
And then at the end we'll say spoilers and you
can turn this off. I loved it, dude. Yeah. Everything.
The aesthetic, some of the special effects I
ran into an issue with, but... For the most part?
Perfection, dude. It was so good. It is the best
Fantastic Four we've had to date. Without a doubt,
yeah. Without a doubt. Yeah. The Fox ones were
great. They were good, man. That Silver Surfer,
like Niren Rad is my Silver Surfer. Yeah. And
I absolutely loved his version of Silver Surfer.
In case you don't know, that's the same guy who
played Abe Sapien in Hellboy. Yeah, true. And
it was voiced by Laurence Fishburne. The Silver
Surfer in this movie, same amount of heart. Um,
when, when that turn comes, um, where she's actually
talking to the other characters, I felt she was
ethereal. She was godly. Like she could just
blink and all of them would be dead. Like you
could see that power emanating from it. It was
sensational, man. I loved this movie. Yeah. And
I mentioned it earlier that I think that, When
people are comparing these latest Marvel movies,
they're comparing them to the nostalgia of the
earlier phases. Honestly, I think this is a pretty
strong movie compared to some of the earlier
stuff. Absolutely. It's definitely not the best
Marvel movie in the universe. No. That's fine.
We can acknowledge that. But it is solid. This
is Matt Shackman's directorial debut, man, and
he knocked it out of the park. Yep. You're saying
it looked fantastic. It was definitely very different
from other Marvel movies. Yes, sir. A lot of
Marvel movies all have the same kind of colour
tone. That was there. Even if they're from different
timelines like we've seen in Doctor Strange,
they all look similar. This looked completely
different to anything we've seen before. The
sets, the world, the alternate. Version of Earth.
It was very cool. 886, I think, is what Earth
is. 826. 826. 826. Yeah. So main Earth is 9999,
so it's five nines. Mm -hmm. We were alerted
that 616 is the Earth that has the X -Men, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah. That's the Fox universe
is 616. Is it? Mm -hmm. and then 99999 is the
Marvel Universe. Okay, yeah. No, 616 is the comics,
the Fox Universe. I don't think we've been given
a number yet. I think they clarified that in
Deadpool Wolverine. Did they? Yeah. Okay, I'll
have to go back and check that. So you'll re
-watch that? No, no, no. I'll look it up and
put it on the screen so people don't get confused.
Thanks, because I do speak at mass. I think this
was amazing, dude. I really enjoyed it. There
wasn't a single point in this movie where I'm
like, for real? Yeah. Why? Subterranean looked
fantastic. My Man was incredible. I like My Man.
We get some touches on Fantastic Four lore. Some
of their own biome villains. Yeah. Their own
rogue category. Rogue gallery. That's the one.
I really, really enjoyed it, man. I don't think
it hurt that they cut. Red Ghost, John Malkovich.
John Malkovich, yeah. I don't think it hurt that
they cut John Malkovich. Definitely the hint
there in the movie where they would have put
him and it was fine without that fucking scene,
I guess. I do like their power sets. I did too.
The family kind of. The whole. Great dynamic,
dude. Dynamic. That's what I was looking for.
Such a great dynamic. Yeah. They're great. There's
some hints that they have tension. They resolve
it. There's, you know, there's a camaraderie.
Yeah, it's very good. There's some things that
we've seen in the Fox Universe ones where they
were like, where Jessica Alba was like, Reed,
look at me. I'd never really seen that she had.
Anger in a tone. None of them really had that
sort of thing. Like even the thing like, oh,
you want to go over there then? Fine. It was
never really, you never got that deep of an emotion.
But, dude, Sue Storm surprises the dick out of
you in this. She is such a strong character in
this movie. It's definitely a Susan Storm movie,
I think. 100%. Yeah. 100%, dude. I'll be interested
to watch, like, as Matt Shackman goes on, like,
Kev Smith's podcast a bit and he's good friends
with Mark Bernard and stuff. So I'd like to see
them on Fat Man Beyond because when he goes on
there and he talks, he's very eloquent and very
well spoken about his cast and shit. I really
want to see if he has harkened back to his own
mother sort of thing and blah, blah, blah. I'll
put his own little spin on Sue Stone because
usually she is a B -grade character and it's
usually Reid that's doing all the stuff and it's
him and Ben Grimm that's doing all the important
shit. Like you said, very Sue Storm, strong.
Yeah. That's not to say that the other characters
don't shine. Don't shine, 100%. Pedro Pascal
kills Reed Richards, man. Every qualm I had with
him being too old was squashed instantly, dude.
Just squashed straight away. And he wasn't –
his character had some depth to it where he's
usually very analytical. Yeah. In other movies.
He is still very much that, but there is depth
to this character. Yeah. Which, if the rumours
are true, that he's going to lead the Avengers
in Doomsday. I can understand this Reed doing
that. Mm -hmm. Ian Gruffalds, though, I could
not. I don't see him being above Tony Stark or
above Cap or above T 'Challa. Yeah. This one?
Yeah, I can. Yeah. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Yeah.
I could legit see him and Thor coming together
like the broon and the brains, like the brawn
and the brains. Yeah. Coming together and sort
of nutting shit out. Dude, such a good movie.
And beautiful, dude. It was so beautiful to see.
We get some different kind of settings throughout
it. We get some different. that haven't been
seen like this before in other movies. Yeah,
very good. Now we're going to the spoilers. Yes.
So if you haven't seen the movie and you don't
want spoilers. Turn us off and come back to Friday's
show and we'll see you then. Absolutely. Three,
two, spoilers, spoilers, spoilers. Dude, I'm
so fucking pissed off about this. I know what
you're pissed off about. Now, me and Stretch
stayed back for both mid -credits and post -credits
scenes. Post -credits scene pissed me off. Mid
-credits was good. Mid -credits was sen -fucking
-sational. Don't stick around for the end. It's
not worth it. Really don't. It's pointless. Yeah.
Mid -credits scene, when she walks out of the
room and walks back in and all you see is that
chrome mask. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. So, yeah,
we get the view of... Doctor Doom at the very
end. Not Tony Stark, Doctor Doom, not Robert
Downey Jr., Doctor Doom, but we see Doom. Well,
we don't know that. You don't see who it is.
You don't see his face, yeah. You see a green
cloak and a mask. Yeah. My only kind of real
gripe with this movie is too short. I could have
stayed there for another half hour, 40 minutes,
dude. The pacing was good. Pacing was also not
good. Like almost too fast? Yeah. They kind of
get through it. But at the same time, I think
they rely on the fact that we all know Fantastic's
story. Yeah. So you kind of fill in the gaps
and stuff like that. My big issue was something
about Galactus still doesn't look right. Like
his face. It looked very video game -esque. His
armor looked fine. Yep. It was his face. Right.
Inside the cow, it kind of looked like some kind
of weird texture on it. It almost looked like
he was pixelated or something like that. Right.
There's something obviously because he was once
human or a human adjacent fucking species model.
And they've blown him up to that size that's
done something to him. But I just couldn't figure
out what it was that was meant to cause that.
I love that it was. It wasn't Galactus that actually
eats the planets. It's his ship that consumes
it and then it feeds it to him by the feeding
tubes in his back. Yeah, unlike the Fox one where
it's fucking. It's just a planet who comes along
and inhales it in. Not exciting. The fact that
you see Galactus walking around New York was
so cool. Yeah. The explanation of why Ben has
a beard. So good, dude. And I know that was something
that you were nervous about and something that
you were running into, but the way they explained
it was so good. Yeah, I mean, he doesn't have
hair on his head still, though. How did he know
he was wearing a hat? He's silly sausage. It
wasn't the worst thing in the world. Hey, are
you saying the bald people can't grow beards?
No, but like I don't know. Are you saying bald
people can't grow beards? No, I'm not. I'm just
saying that it's never been hinted at in the
past that he's able to grow any hair at all,
let alone just. That's a lie. I'll show you the
comics. So what I want to know is his pubes,
if these beard kind of comes out. Do the comics
match dregs? Yeah. How come he doesn't have like,
I don't know, what's going on down there in the
package? Like the bush, the bush would be solid.
Have you ever seen mall rats? Kev Smith comes
with the hard questions. Yeah, Brodie asks about
his. What does his dick look like? Is it rocks?
Is it a penis? Is it ribbed for her pleasure
or no one's at all? Because let's face something.
He's the thing. He's got four fingers. My fingers
are this round. His fingers are that round. My
penis is that round. Is his penis that round?
Well, man, he has big feet in this movie. Such
big feet. Custom shoes. You know what they say
about big feet? Big shoes? Big rock dick. The
fuck? You seem like you're having to destroy
my mic. Yeah, besides not being 100 % happy with
Galactus, the look, I liked his presence. I like
the way he was kind of portrayed. The thing I
ran into most was for a lot of it he was muted
in colour. You didn't see it was very grey scale.
When he was on his ship, it was very grey scale.
He didn't look like he had just looked like a
bloke sitting on a throne. The scale was thrown
out. The colour was gone. There was only a few
frames when he was in New York where you actually
got to see his purple tones. When the sun was
on him, yeah. Yeah. So you missed so much of
his colour, of his outfit and all that sort of
stuff. His scale was sensational. The fact that
he towered over all these buildings was good.
Another thing that pissed me off to no end. Yeah,
we didn't get any explanation for the Thunderbolts
fucking connection. There was nothing. There
is absolutely nothing that pays off the ship
at the end of Thunderbolts. They didn't need
that. At all. Why even put it at the end of Thunderbolts,
bro? Yeah, I don't know. Like, they didn't need
to, but it has created some mystery that we will
hang out for now for Doomsday to find out. That
was my only fucking hang up. It was a letdown
considering I was spending most of the movie
waiting for the end. Yep. For the, like, why?
Yep. I want an answer to that question that we
had a few weeks ago. We never got it. Nothing.
Yeah. But I'd rate it. I thoroughly recommend.
Go watch it. It was a good movie, man. Yeah.
I give it. Give it a chance. Yeah. I give it,
well, yeah, 7 out of 10. Go. But that's all I've
got for Week in Review, sir. Yeah, me too. So,
yeah, if you've watched some cool shit this week,
comment down below. Tell us what you've watched.
Anything you'd like us to talk about, let us
know. Love, peace, chicken grease. See you Friday.
