From the Dungeons of Morningstar, my name's Stretch.
And I'm Clint, and this is Prevailing Strange.

we like a bit of evolution on this place. Give
us your best shot. What morsels of news have
you got for us this week? Are you going to get
me to go straight up first up? You can go one
and then I'll go one. Mortal Kombat 2 has been
delayed. I did see that. Until May next year,
which is not too bad. I don't even think they've
finished primary production yet, have they? I
don't think it has anything to do with the production.
I think they're trying to slot it in for the
blockbuster summer. I think it was meant to release
outside of America's summer. Right. Well. I don't
even know who it would be competing with at that
time because everything seems to be coming out
in December. Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah, when was
it meant to come out originally? I can't remember.
I think it was February next year. Was it? Yeah,
okay, so they're winter. Maybe they're hoping
because I think they've got a pretty overwhelming
response to the trailer. Yeah, so they're like,
oh, let's push these back. We reckon it's a contender
for the summer market. Yeah. Fair. Speaking about
fighting games, the Street Fighter cast has been
announced. Have you seen it? I've seen the set
photo where they're all posing. Yeah. Well, today
was the full release of all of them. That was
just a few of them. It wasn't all of them. Yeah.
So there was a photo of like it was like on an
airfield or a runway or something. Yeah. 50 Cent
looks sick, dude. He looks old, man. I think
that was just them there. I don't think they
were in their costumes. No, no, no, they weren't
in their costumes. It was just the whole cast
that was there. So Andrew Koji will be playing
Ryu. He was in Snake Eyes, G .I. Joe, and he
was in Bullet Train and plenty of other movies.
I like Bullet Train. Yeah, he was also in Fast
and the Furious 6 as well, and he's been in a
heap of bit parts. I think he might be bigger
back home, but in America he's, yeah. Oh, sweet.
Noah Centino will be playing Ken. He played Adam
Smasher in Black Adam. I liked his character
in Black Adam. Black Adam to me wasn't really
that bad of a film. I haven't watched it. I'm
not interested. Kalina Liang is playing Chung
Lee. She's in the TV show Foundation and there's
a horror movie that's not long out called Presence
where it's shot from the – The Spirit's point
of view. I think I have seen the trailer for
that. Yeah, she was in that. Cody Rhodes is playing
Guile in the rest of us. Orville Peck. Do you
know who this guy is? No. So he's a country singer
from South Africa, but he obviously is over in
America and Canada. But he wears a mask. So he's
Vega. He's playing Vega. Of course he is. Jesus
Christ. How did I call that? Yeah. Hang on, we
need a guy that's going to really slut into this
role. 50 Cent as Balrog. Jason Momoa as Blanca.
I thought he was going to be Akuma. No, Blanca.
What? No, Akuma's down further. I'll tell you
who plays Akuma in a minute. Viguit Jemwell.
Sorry if I butchered that. He's a Bollywood actor.
He'll be playing Dalsim. Olivia Rikers will be
playing Zangief, the big fella. Oh, yeah, dude.
Heck, yeah. From Reacher. Yeah. Hikuki Goto will
be playing Ehonda. He's a Japanese actor. I think
this will be his first Hollywood film. Is he
a sumo? He's a bigger fella. It's not a sumo.
Oh, yeah, I don't know. It'd be nice if he was
a proper sumo. Yeah, dude. David, I can never
say his last name, playing M. Bison. Polka Dot
Man. What's his last name? Dismulchen. Dismulchen.
Roman Reigns will be playing Akuma. Oh, he's
playing Akuma. That's right. Andrew Schultz will
be playing Dan Hebeke. Who? Yeah, I don't know.
Who the fuck's he in Street Fighter? Who is that?
I don't know. Eric Andre will be playing Don
Savage. There's only one person I want to know.
Is there any baby on there? No. What? No. We've
got Mel Jarson. We'll be playing Kemi. She was
in Mortal Kombat. Oh, hang on. Sonya Blade? No.
Right, okay. I don't know who she played in Mortal
Kombat, actually. And Rihanna. Man, I'm horrible
with names. Valendingham playing Julie. She's
a black belt martial artist, this chick. Nice.
So some actual fighting ability. And the Volkster
will be playing Joe. Alexander Volkanovsky will
be playing Joe. I don't know who Joe is. He's
Joe. I don't know. But I do have a picture of
how they released the cast today, and I'll put
it up on screen. Oh, that's pretty badass. Yeah,
the kind of 8 -bit versions of everybody. Hang
on. Is Joe the player character? I don't know.
Oh, dude, that looks sick. I don't know if he's
something out of an earlier game, later game.
So who released that? Was that Capcom that released
that? Well, I saw that on Fandango. Right, okay.
But, yeah, it's legit. Nice. Sick. Warwick Davis
will be returning as Professor Flitwick in the
Harry Potter series. Yeah, right. Which I'm stoked
to do. One thing that pissed me off about Snow
White was the fact that they just completely
deleted at least seven jobs for smaller people.
Yeah. Just deleted it. Nah, we'll do CG. Why?
That's what I loved about Harry Potter. There
was all these fellas and ladies out there that
would struggle to get an active job everywhere
else and they were gods for fucking in Harry
Potter. I'm glad they're keeping it more practical
as well. That'd be cool. Yeah. Fucking Snow White.
The Superman sequel. Ooh, you snipe me, you do.
Yeah, they've named it Man of Tomorrow. Yes.
And so James Gunn, David Corenswet and Nick Holt
have all shared concept art? Yeah. Well, there
was also another, there was a dude on X who,
and this is what I love about James Gunn, man,
like he'll literally call people out and say,
no, no, that's not true. So someone had been
on X and was like, is the title of the movie
Just Man of Steel or is it Man of Tomorrow or
is it Superman, Man of Tomorrow? And James Gunn's
commented. Just Man of Tomorrow. Okay. So it
won't be Superman, it won't be Batman, it won't
be anything else. It'll just be Man of Tomorrow.
The Superman family movie that they were talking
about, that kind of universe. Well, yeah, but
there'll be more people in it. There's going
to be a shit ton of people in it already. But
we see in the concept art Lex Luthor in his power
suit. Yeah, well, that was another thing that
James Gunn actually shared and so has Hawkgirl.
Hawkgirl shared that image and just wrote, see
you soon. So I dare say Hawkgirl's going to be
in it too then. Yep. Which is cool. Your next
piece? Oh, okay. I just said Superman. Oh, okay.
Insomniac's Wolverine game. Is that moving ahead?
Yeah. It is? Okay. They'll be showing trailers
in the state of play at the end of September.
So we'll actually see some footage of it. Dude,
they did so good with the Spider -Man games.
Yeah, fucking hell. They were insanely well done.
And as soon as they announced that, I was like,
yeah, go. Fuck yeah. Channing Tatum has said
that Gambit will have a big fight with Doctor
Doom. Mm -hmm. Seen that. Mm -hmm. And that he
will be toning down the Cajun accent. Why? Everybody
loved it, man. I mean, in a funny movie, yeah,
they probably don't want to beat having to kind
of canopy the entire time. They want to be able
to understand him. Sophie Turner. Yeah, you got
me on that one. Has been cast as Lara Croft in
the new Tomb Raider series. At Amazon. Yeah.
Filming next year. I just. She acts as well as
Wooden Spoon. I mean, I think the only role I've
ever seen her in is in Game of Thrones. Phoenix.
Oh, yeah. In three X -Men movies. Yeah, okay.
I forgot about them. Wooden Spoon, bro. Exactly
right. Look. With proper direction and a great
script, she might be able to knock it out of
the park. I'll watch it regardless. I like Tomb
Raider. Yeah. More room to kind of breathe too
in a TV series. Especially if you're not part
of this massive ensemble cast like what was Game
of Thrones, you might actually have a bit of
room to breathe. So we'll see how she goes. Other
big news is there's a Bluey movie coming out
August 6th of next year. You ready to cry? No.
Fuck, man. They make you laugh, cry, cheer, and
hug your kids in seven minutes. Imagine what
these assholes are going to do with an hour and
40. Piss off. Do you think this will be the end?
Because those girls are only getting older. Yeah.
Yeah. I do like that they've never released who
the girls are. I love that, dude. Absolutely
love that. Even the other actors don't know who
they are. The girls record their shit by themselves.
It's so good. And that's the best scene. That
protects them. Well, even the Chilean Bandit,
they only met for the first time at the start
of this year. Yeah, well, one was in Melbourne
and one was in Brisbane. Yeah. That's the great
thing about technology these days, man. Like
you don't even have to – if you've got a voice
actor, you don't even have to get out of your
room. Yeah, well, I think Bluey began during
COVID, didn't it? I'm not sure. Dude, if it –
now, I was watching a thing and it was – that's
rated number three in all -time greatest animated
shows. And it was only beaten out by Family Guy
– sorry, not Family Guy, The Simpsons. Same thing.
And Arcane. Yeah, right. It's not even like kids'
cartoons. Like it's, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Man. What the hell? Crazy. It's nuts. They're
seven -minute cartoons. Oh, dude, yeah. But if
they can make you do all that shit in seven minutes,
imagine what they're going to do within an hour.
Oh, they won't make it long, I suppose. So about
an hour and 20 minutes or something. Yeah, well,
who knows? As long as they don't go putting shadows
on everything like they did with the Simpsons
movie. Fuck, I hated that man. It was so lame.
More budget, more budget. Shadows. It was almost
as good as the time when they marketed, oh, Simpsons
are going 3D for 20 minutes. Yeah. It was one
episode. Treehouse of horror, wasn't it? Yeah.
I'm up, am I? Benedict Cumberbatch. was asked
why he wasn't in the Doomsday cast announcement.
Right. And all he said was maybe they didn't
have enough chairs. So it seems to me that he
is going to be in Doomsday front and centre,
which he'd be stupid if he wasn't. Man, I just
don't think they should throw everybody at the
first movie. But you have to have Strange in
there because his post -credits scene with… Charlize
Theron. Iliath. I think so, yeah. Is that her
name? I think so. Ilya? Maybe. Or am I a liar?
That's fucking a lie. Anyway. Dormammu's sister.
Mm -hmm. That was directly leading into this
movie. Like, that's imperative to going into
Doomsday, is it not? But, like. So you'd have
to have the doc in there at one point. Well,
you don't know what he's doing in the background.
He doesn't have to be on the front lines. No,
that's right. It doesn't have to be like an endgame.
So there could be some overlap in these two movies
instead of being like bookended onto or the five
-year gap between them. Yeah. What if one ends
and the other one picks up? The day after? Not
even the day after, like in else parts of the
multiverse. Whilst. And then they just kind of
cross over. Yeah, right. I don't know. You know,
I'm just fucking spitballing shit. Who knows?
I mean, they could announce more people. Yeah.
I mean, fucking that's a big cast already. They're
bringing back like fucking old IPs and shit.
Yeah. It's massive. Mm -hmm. So the 1940s -ish
model Dodge that was used in Agent Carter? Mm
-hmm. It or another, like approximating it, has
been spotted on the back of a truck near the
set for John Cage's home. Ooh. So we've kind
of come out and the rumours are that that's not
actually Cage's home, it's Peggy and Steve's
house. So we'll be getting some flashbacks or
who knows what. Him crooning. He's crushing it.
Like Dad said. Taking out, you know, how many
ever years that he's missed. Yeah. It's like
just comes in the bedroom window and it's just
her hand on his back. America's ass. No, her
hand on his back. And then it just zooms out
and he's just crushing ass, dude. Yeah, that's
what I mean. America's ass in the air. And you
just see it flexing, like just every little sinew
of muscle and fibre in his ass cheek just flexing
with every. Yeah, okay. I'll watch that. I'll
pay extra. Superman sequels and, sorry, sequels
to Batman and Superman are both coming out in
2027. Do you think they're going to join together?
You said last week that's what you believe. Yeah,
I reckon they're going to be existing in the
same universe. Nice. It'll be good. Because,
yeah, Batman 2 begins filming April 26th, April
next year. Yeah. Like, come on, we're getting
two Superman movies that haven't even released
a canon Batman yet? Yeah. No. We've got our Batman
for the DCU. You calling it? Yeah, 100%. That's
right. Yeah. I don't see how else they could
do it. Yeah. They haven't announced another Batman
movie before the second Superman one. No, you're
right. I don't know. I don't know. I reckon it'd
be good. I reckon it'd be good with Robert Pattinson
and David Coren Sweat. Well, Colin Farrell said
the other day that he's read the Batman 2 script
because he's got a little bit in it. He hasn't
got a heap to do, but he's got a little bit in
it, and he said it's nothing short of extraordinary.
Yeah, right. And that guy's usually pretty, like
he went hard on Scrubs just because he'd done
a shitty job and he was only in two episodes.
So this was a shit movie, I think you'd say it.
Yeah, okay. Continuing on with the Doomsday stuff,
reportedly Tom Hindleson has been seen near the
set of Peggy and. Cap's house. How did he leave
his throne? I don't know, but he was cast in
the movie. He has been. Yeah, he was, eh? He
got a chair. Yeah, he got a chair. Or is he going
to be like a watcher? He's going to be like the
watcher, just watching over. We're going to get
flashbacks of fucking, yeah. He'll be in the
chair. Yeah, he's just sitting over there just
watching. Sitting there watching Peggy. Just
in the dark. Like David Burke, do you see him
in darkness and he inhales a cigarette and his
face illuminates a little bit? And it's just
him in his cuck chair. You hear, just get the
couple of tissues out. Couple of pumps of moisturiser.
Man, I was going to try and calm down on the
swearing for these episodes. I didn't swear once,
do you see? No, but we went fucking R -rated,
so may as well fucking swear. Oh, which reminds
me. Hey, Macca. How are you, buddy? She said
it. She said to me the other day, she goes, can
I have a shout out? Apparently she watches all
the time. It just runs through the ass. Mum,
Dad, Uncle Cleo and Uncle Stretch is on the TV.
Oh, no, what are you doing, Pritchie? Oh, I said
to her, I said, darling, you shouldn't be watching
that. She goes, that's okay. I'm like, sweet,
okay. Oh, no. Oh, dude. I had a good laugh. Yeah,
it's pretty funny. James Gunn says that Peacemaker
Season 2 is a prequel to Men of Tomorrow. Sticking
on that chestnut. Right. Okay. See, I love it
when James Gunn says, because James Gunn will
say. We need more directors like it. But that
is all of the news that I have for you, my friend.
One last piece, and it's just another rumour
about the whole tiff on the Doomsday. Yes, please.
So they reckon it wasn't Robert Downey Jr. Oh,
yeah. It wasn't either of those actors that I
said. Jump straight on the Robert D. No, it was
apparently David Harbour and Wyatt Russell. Okay.
Apparently, yeah. Hey, that actually, well, now
I can understand why they want to, because they've
had to film so many. Things together. Scenes
together. That's why. It's going to make people's
jobs a lot harder though. I don't like that.
Yeah. Grow up. Grow up. Well, apparently, apparently
it was White Russell bird up to something that
David Harbour had said apparently in jest. Right.
Probably better than being a napper baby. Probably.
You want your daddy to come and feed you a bottle?
I don't know why the creator of Star Wars is
on set. I thought it was Kevin the Frog. It could
be. It could be either of them. So, yeah, we've
got a few trailers to watch. We do indeed, sir.
Who would you like to watch first? Do you want
to start happy, sad, scary? It's getting me out
of the fucking way. The Bone Temple. Trying to
predict the future. That looks sick. Is a discouraging
and hazardous occupation. I had no idea it would
come out too fast. In fact, it may not even exist
at all. And they're controlling them concurrently
by the looks of it. Many of the things we take
for granted will one day pass away completely.
When that time comes, men will no longer communicate.
We may have diseases. Barbarism. Reverse wasteland.
The whole world will cease to make any sense.
Look at the incredible changes we've experienced.
Oops. Even greater changes are still to come.
Are you ready? What the fuck, dude? Interesting.
Look at that shit. Pretty gnarly. Wait, that
came out of nowhere. Yeah, I only saw something
like two days ago that, oh, the Bone Temple trailer's
going to drop, and everyone was like, the what?
Yeah, nobody knew about it. Dude, well, I had
no idea that it was two parts until you told
me the other day. I had no idea. Let's go keep
going down this road, shall we? Monster. The
most handsome Ed Gein has ever been. What shocks
you most about him? How did he do it? What was
his childhood like? Now... I'd like to show you
something worse. I'm sorry, Mother. Just go slow
and steady. That voice. Take your time, sweet
boy. The fact that that's a real fucking thing.
Wow. Sick bastard. But the fact that that one
dude has inspired so much of the horror that
everybody's watched today is insane. That would
be interesting to watch. Yeah, I'll watch the
dick out of that show. Let's go with Anne Rice.
Yeah. Always a good time. Whoa! This is a warning.
We'll need to replace her. Well, we appreciate
your time. Any further? Something I can help
you with? What do you want from me? There's only
so much I can share. You're a spy. No. CIA. MI6.
We want to hire you. Why me? You check several
boxes. You're orphaned. Secretive. Smart. And
you have a rare talent, Guy. You hear things
others cannot. Who are you? Talamasca. We watch.
And you're always there. Let me in. The London
Motherhouse has been infiltrated. All of the
Talamasca's secret knowledge has gone missing.
We may be destroyed if it should fall into the
wrong hands. Rachel, who do we have here? You're
in danger. Where are we going? To my kill room.
Relax. We're going to the basement. Same thing.
Why would they put my mother's name in your book?
Ask them. They're using you, kid. You're at the
scene of a mass murder. I know there's a connection.
You're hiding something from me. We all have
ulterior motives. I'm going to get that boy killed.
You're in so much trouble. Go to hell. Oh, we're
already there, baby. So I don't know much about
Ian Rice's stuff except for Interview with a
Vampire. Yeah. That's about it. Lestat. Was Lestat
an Anne Rice thing? Yeah. Lestat is. Oh, indeed.
Sorry, you said Lestat and I instantly went to
Queen of the Damned. Anne Rice. Really? Yeah.
Oh, okay. Yeah. There we go. Yeah, sick. Ed,
hang on. I'll give you some more of her work.
The majority of it is like that, though. Yeah,
I don't know if she's done a bit. But that said,
her Immortals universe, I wonder how much is
connected. All right, so Interview with Vampire,
The Vampire Lestat, The Queen of the Damned,
The Witching Hour, Prince Lestat, the majority
of it is all, so it's all the vampires, I gather,
because there's a lot, like Blood Communion,
A Tale of Prince Lestat, Prince Lestat and the
Realms of Atlantis. So I dare say it's like all
the vampires, because there's so many vampires
and werewolf stories here. There you go. Learn
something new every day. Oh, we've got more trailers.
Yeah, we've got a couple more. We've got Marvel
Zombies, The Savant, or John Candy. Oh, go John
Candy. I can't tell you what was right about
John Candy or what was wrong. But he was my friend,
and I don't want to cry, but when I see him.
When you see his face, come here. Who are you?
I'm a mog. Half man, half dog. Gus Belinsky,
Polka King of the Midwest. Del Griffith, Director
of Sales, Shower Curtain Ring Division. This
is a lovable guy. This is a guy who the minute
you see his face, you're going to smile. He was
amazingly funny. Thank you. He was one of the
top performers out of all of them. Guess my secret
to acting would be I pretend real hard. Even
though John did distinctly different characters,
John was always there. He was so gentlemanly
and so Canadian. Nobody had bigger expectations
for himself than John. And then all of a sudden,
it kind of jumped to a different level. I've
made winning my whole life. And when you make
winning your whole life, you have to keep on
winning. You've been in more turkeys than a stuffing
mix. I think the weight of everything he was
doing was just too much. The hazard of this business
is that it's very unhealthy for people pleasers.
You can't really do favors for people. It's a
bottomless cup of coffee. If you go a whole lifetime
eating your feelings, drinking your feelings,
smoking your nerves, it shows up. You know, there's
some things that are just painful. That's it.
And you can't make them not painful. Hollywood
still reacting to the shocking news. John Candy
is dead at the age of 43. Why? It's the face
you put on the world that defines who you are.
He lived his life very much like the movies.
He was the child that made everyone happy. And
he was the adult that did that. You know, I remember
John caring when not a lot of people did. This
is no meager life we reflect on today. This is
as full a life as any human can live. Hi, Daddy.
Hi, Jennifer. How you doing? Magnificent of visage,
eyes and frame. A titan of a gentle, golden man.
Well, you think what you want about me. I'm not
changing. I like me. God damn it. Shit. That's
something a lot of people wouldn't sort of understand
if they haven't grown up with John Candy shit.
Yeah. Yeah, that one was hard. One of my favourite
stories of John Candy was when, fuck it all,
the bloke who done the Home Alone films. He'd
done all. John Hughes. John Hughes and John Kenny
were great friends. And he goes, I've got a role
for you. And he goes, what is it? He goes, I
just want you to be the Polka King. He's from
Home Alone. He goes, what do you mean? He goes,
you know, I just want you to be in the movie.
He's like, okay, no worries. Come in. And he
goes, what is the script? He goes, no, no, just
do what you do. Every single line that he said,
every single word in that whole part in Home
Alone was just John Candy being John Candy. Yeah.
Nice. So, yeah. I'll definitely be watching that
documentary, man. Yeah. No, I'm going to leave
that to last. Oh, The Savant. Hey, kids, come
on. Dude, Apple Plus doesn't miss. They have
got some good stuff, man. Taylor, sir. What you
looking at? She's working. She's working? I thought
this was a no -work weekend, Mom. I don't know
why they filmed this with a camera with that
sound on. I don't know why they filmed this with
a camera with that sound on. I don't know why
they filmed this with a camera with that sound
on. I don't know why they filmed this with a
camera with that sound on. I don't know why they
filmed this with a camera with that sound on.
I don't know why they filmed this with a camera
with that sound on. just chatting through discord
what do you do in there all day all night sometimes
i track people who are planning attacks my job
is pretending to think like them to stop those
people from doing really bad things. FBI, on
your knees! That's why we call her the savant.
Snipers. Bombings. Ambushes. We're on the verge
of serious violence. I've been watching him for
a year and a half. He's recruiting for something.
I don't know what it is, but it's massive. This
guy isn't just planning violence. He's out to
make a statement. What kind of a statement? The
kind that history refers to with a month and
a date. Innocent Americans are going to die!
We need to infiltrate further. I don't think
you should keep pushing this. Listen to me. They
have photos of your family. You think if you
engage with terrible things, You're daring even
worse things to happen. He was in Orange is the
New Black. They called him Pawnstache. He was
also a leprechaun. And then he bulked right up
for fucking Master Chief. Yeah, didn't see that
coming. I forget what his name is. Sabretooth's
brother. Sabretooth's brother. Yeah. Fuck. You
played Sabretooth in Wolverine? Leaf Shriver.
Leaf Shriver's brother. Is it? Yeah. Fuck, there
you go. I forget his first name though. I didn't
even know he was a Shriver. No, he's not Leaf
Shriver. He's Leaf Shriver's brother. Just saying.
Wow Spidey Yeah, dog So you do that then. Wow.
Dude, that looks gnarly as shit, yo. Well, that
what if fucking episode was pretty cool. No,
that looks better than what if. Actually, it
looks fun. No, but like, so the what if episode.
Oh, what if zombies. When the zombies. The zombie
episode, I think it was episode six or something.
Yeah. That wasn't too bad. It looks like they've
just ripped all those same characters. Yeah.
Yeah. Except they're actually using people from
the MCU as the voice cast. That's all, buddy.
Well, that's all for Pop Culture News. Please
join us on Wednesday for all things that aren't
Pop Culture News. We can review. Life be stringerous.
See you then.
