Sweet. 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 Clint and
I get to share our thoughts on some of the content
that we've checked out this week. If you like
what we're doing here, guys, we sure as hell
love doing it. So please, if you could just...
Give some feedback. Like, subscribe. Tell us
what you like to listen to. Some stuff that you've
been watching too. We'll chat up about it. What
have you checked out this week, buddy? Well,
I'm just trying to see how many episodes there
are of season two. Peacemaker? No, no, no. Of
Twisted Metal. Right. Because I watched some
last week, but I'm not aware. No, there is 12
episodes. Last was August 20th, so I must have
finished it. Oh, sad. I thought they might be
releasing some more because it didn't really
end well. Oh, okay. It's all okay, cliffhanger.
But yeah, I don't know. But I've been watching
something that I was really upset about. The
prequel series to Dexter. Mm -hmm. Yep. Such
a good show, dude. I think I've sucked at balls
in here so often. It is such a good show. They
canned it. And now the Dexter Resurrection one,
which is the one with Michael C. Hall in New
York City, they've greenlit that for a season
two. Right. You said it was shit, but then they've
been raving about it. It's ramping up. Oh, okay.
Dude, them first four episodes were so, but dude,
it's ramping. Yeah, okay. And I'm really starting
to dig it, dude. Oh, what's his name? He was
in Game of Thrones, the Lord of Tits and Wine.
I forget his name. Peter Dinklage. Yeah. Dude.
I went to say Tyrion Lannister. He's killing
it. Yeah, right. Playing this diabolical rich
dude who collects serial killers. Oh, right.
Okay. So he, the whole premise is he's this multi
-millionaire, right? Rich as. Mm -hmm. Philanthropist,
donates money all the time, blah, blah, blah,
blah. Has charities up to the yin -yang. He's
got Uma Thurman as his henchman. Right. So the
way he keeps her under control, though, her mum's
dying and he's the only one with all the shit
to keep her alive. Right. So she was in the armed
forces. She's quite a fucking dangerous person.
And she goes around and investigates all these
serial killers and then collects them for Peter
Dinklage's character. Right. What does he do
with them when he has them? Just sits there and
talks to them. Collects, like he asks them to
bring him trophies to film him doing it so he
can watch them. He's never killed anybody. Right.
Says he's not a killer. He can't do it himself,
but he's fascinated by it. So he's actually got
a vault in his house that's got memorabilia in
it from the Bay Harbour Butcher, from blah, blah,
blah, from John Wayne Gacy. So there's real serial
killer stuff in there as well. But it's this.
massive vault dude and she's got all this shit.
Like it's even got in the first series of Dexter,
James Doakes breaks into Dexter's Miami apartment
and steals his box of slides. Peter Dinklage
has that box of slides. Right. Yeah. So he collects
memorabilia from all these killers. And then
every once in a while he has these dinners or
the gatherings. So they're always like. He gets
like five of these serial killers over and they
have dinner. They tell stories. They have like
presentations where it's like they film with
a GoPro and shit their process of them committing
murders, how they get ready for the murders,
how they choose their victims, why they choose
their victims, and then it's just them talking
like they're at a dinner party. Off -putting
as shit, but Peter Dinklage plays it so well.
Absolutely kills it. In the last few episodes,
it's really, really ramping up and it's turning
into a great show, dude. Like, legit, if you
asked me this three weeks ago, I would have said,
this is fucking trash. Turn it off. I don't want
to watch it ever again. I did. And this is where
I was like, Rachel was enjoying it, so I was
watching it because she wanted to watch it, even
though I hated it. But then I started getting
into it a bit more and I'm like, oh, what's going
on? I just wish that next year when they were
releasing the next season of this that they were
releasing another season of the prequel. Right.
It deserves it, dude. It was such a good show,
so well written and performed so good and I really
enjoyed it. Let me hear you say something. First
thing I watched this week was episode three of
Peacemaker. How good was it? It was good. What
did you think of simp? Simp flag. Simp flag.
Yeah, it was a pretty funny spin on it. Now,
is it just me or was there no black people in
that universe? You noticed that, did you? Yeah.
My guess is those terrorists that he killed were
good guys. Everybody else is fucking bad guys.
It's a Nazi state. Yeah. Yeah, he's going to
find that out. I'm thinking so. I think so. That's
why his brother and his dad are all chummy in
that because everybody's on the same fucking
wavelength. They've killed all the other people.
Yeah. I think that's what's going to happen.
I think that's what's going to happen. Seeing
him and Harcourt bounce off each other, and that
was really wholesome and enjoyable. Just seeing
her play two polar opposites of a character in
the same episode is kick -ass. So James Gunn
has said that Harcourt was with Rick Flagg before
he died, and that's why she hated Peacemaker
to begin with. Yeah, she showed us that. Did
she? Yeah, in episode three. She wakes up in
Rick Flagg's bed. In the alternate universe?
No, no, no. No, that was before he went to Cordo
Maltese. He literally said, I'm going to Cordo
Maltese. Fuck, I got confused. I thought that
was fucking. No, that wasn't in the happy universe.
Ah, okay. That's where I got fucking. Okay. In
case you haven't noticed. I thought he was just
going quarter Maltese in that. Okay, that makes
sense. Well, actually, you could be right. I
might have been taking it wrong. Clear as mud.
Clear as mud. Yeah, okay. But, dude, vigilante.
He needs his own show. No, he doesn't. He doesn't.
He's good. Him and Peacemaker just need to keep
going on with their inventions because he's so
good. I really like him. It would be interesting
to see what happens in tonight's episode where
he walks back into a whole heap of people in
his house. Yeah. Surrounding his house. Yeah.
So, yeah, I'm pumped for that. But, yeah, I'll
simp flag. Fucking hell, I laughed. But, yeah,
just seeing. What set me off about that whole
the different universes thing, because that was
a bit confusing actually, was the fact that the
one that was in the bed with Harcourt didn't
seem like a simpy little bitch. Actually, he
was talking a bit of a deep thing. He wasn't
like, oh, my God, Harcourt, you're so cool. Yeah.
Yeah, I thought it was just a bit confusing to
kind of jump straight from it into them being
together. In the other universe. In the other
universe. Yeah, I agree. Why didn't they have
her with short hair? Before in one and then with
long hair because that's what confused me. She
had long, straight hair. Both universes. Yeah.
Good point. And ladies change their hair all
the time. I don't understand that either. I watched
a movie on Netflix with Casey Affleck and Matt
Damon called The Instigators. Right. It's not
a comedy. They don't bill it as a comedy. But
seeing Casey Affleck and Matt Damon bouncing
off each other, it's so good. It's such a good
show. It's a nowhere show. It's not going to
win any awards. But to sit down and just watch
it, it was a good movie, man. It was really good.
What's it about? Where is it based? So Casey
Affleck is a seasoned criminal. He's spent time
in jail. blah, blah, blah, blah. Matt Damon is
a single. He's just getting a divorce from his
wife. He's trying to be a single dad and see
his kid more, and he's just falling behind in
bills, bills, bills, bills, bills, court costs,
court costs, court costs, all that sort of shit.
And a bloke comes up to him and says, listen,
we've got one job. I want you to break into the
mayor's party that he's having. and steal all
the money out of the safe. There's about $450
,000 in there. Take it all. We'll divvy it up.
And Matt Damon goes, well, I only need $34 ,000.
I'm like, why is that? And they're like, oh,
it's just how much my bills are. And he goes,
well, what if there's more than that? And he
goes, you can keep it. And if there's less than
that? And he goes, well, I still want my $34
,000. And they go, yeah, right on. No worries.
So they go in. Ron Perlman is the mayor. Right.
Just this bigger, larger -than -life mayor. Very
much Donald Trump. Fucking nuts. Anyway, he's
corrupt as shit, and this is at their electoral
dinner. So there's people giving in cash, donations,
blah, blah, hand over fist, money's coming out
everywhere. Well, they get in there, and it's
the most ham -fisted fucking robbery I've ever
seen in my life. They get lost going in. They
get lost going out. One of them gets shot and
gets killed. And it's just a manhunt from then
on in. Yeah, right. And it's got – did you ever
watch Downsizing? No, I didn't. With Matt Damon?
You really need to watch Downsizing. There's
a Vietnamese female character in that, and she's
also in this as his therapist. Right. And the
whole way through it, like, because they go to
– when Casey gets shot, they go to her office,
and she's like, I'm not even this kind of doctor.
What do you expect me to do? And so she's like,
yeah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And sows
him up and shit. And then she calls the cops.
She's like, why are you doing this? I'm not going
to. She's like, look, I'm worried about you.
You're going to get yourself in trouble after
all the work you've been through. And then she
just tags along and jumps in the car with them
and they're on the run. And it's just the interaction
between these three characters, Vin Rames, who
is a cop who's chasing them, but he has no rules.
So he just does whatever he wants. It's just
fun. It's an amazing movie. It's just a fun movie,
dude, and I recommend anybody to watch it. The
Instigator is on Netflix. It's free. Did you
happen to check out the last two Alien? I did.
You did? Not. Oh. I watched the prequel episode.
Mm -hmm. Wow. Yeah, it's good, right? Holy God
dang. Man, it copped some fucking flack online.
Nah. Especially with the Alien communities because
they're saying about how. They've just made all
the crew weird and dumb and all this shit. I
mean, none of them have ever really been, you
know, grade A brainiacs. They've always made
stupid mistakes. I loved it, dude. I thought
that was great. I thought it was sensational,
yeah. I loved it. Like seeing the xenomorph running
down the hallway, up the walls, on the ceiling
shit. So good. And that fucking eye monster.
How good is it? Yeah. But I wanted to see more
of a fight between the Xenomorph and the Ioki.
Yeah. But, dude, it was good. I liked that episode.
Yeah. And he's like, mother. But, honestly, I'm
a fan and I can't wait to watch the next episode,
which I will be watching very soon. Well, I won't
talk about that. But, yes, that episode five.
No, talk about it because you talked about episode
five as well before and I went and watched it
anyway and it didn't ruin it. All I said was
it was a flashback. It was good. Is this next
episode as good? No. It's good. Some shit starts
going down. Oh, okay. I loved it. I loved at
the end of – I've seen somewhere that everyone's
gone, oh, it's more of a Blade Runner feel than
an Alien feel. And when they went to the Yutani
offices at the end and Morrow was talking to
Yutani because it was – he dealt with her mother.
Because he's been gone for, ah, grandmother,
because he's been gone for 85 years. Yeah. And
he's like, oh, I know why my grandmother loved
you. And he's like, well, just give me what I
need and I'll get the job done. I'll bring you
all your shit you need. Well, it's always been
speculated that they share the same universe.
Yeah. Blade Runner and that. And I was hoping
when they said that there was five mega corporations
that run the world that Tyrell would be one of
them, but it wasn't. Yeah. And what I was going
to be saying about that. That building is gorgeous.
The guards, their outfits, like the traditional
Japanese samurai garbs and shit they'll wear.
It looks so cool. So badass. I'm a fan. Watched
Hot Tub Time Machine today. So good. Such a good
show. This week I've also watched the Harry Potter
series, which, again, doesn't get old. And that's
all I've watched, so go nuts, buddy. So I watched
– Today, Sinners. That is pretty fucking good.
Hell yeah, dude. That's up there with one of
my favourite vampire movies. Yeah, I really like
that. Like, yeah, they were fucking cool. The
aesthetic was gorgeous, dude. Yeah. Killed it.
That glint in the eye. Yeah. Like fucking cats
or dogs off in the darkness type thing is fucking
cool. You know how they got that? They got sent
to a slam where they were told they were never
going to see sunlight again. And then they paid
a man 20 minutes to give him a surgical change
-up. Sorry. Yeah, it was a great movie. Like,
obviously a love letter to fucking music. Oh,
dude, absolutely. And, like, culturally significant
movie. It was fucking cold. Yeah. The only thing
that I had me issue with. The Native Americans
had nothing else to do with it after that opening
five minutes. See, I like that about world building.
Like they've gone off and had their own adventure.
Yeah, it kind of touches on a greater world.
Yeah. And there's obviously shit going on that
goes on outside that. It's like the ending scene
where he's grown up. Yeah. The girl. The girl
will rock up again later on and, like, they're
pretty fucking cool about the whole thing. Yeah.
But, man, that movie was way hornier than I thought
it was going to be. Yes, sir. Damn. Goddamn.
Yeah. Enjoyable for a lot of reasons. Hayley
Stone for being one of them. Oh, yeah, man. Yeah,
yeah. Kay Bishop. Kay Bishop. Oh, damn. Yeah.
But. Fucking Michael B. Jordan killed it as the
Smokestack Twins. Such a great actor, man. Such
a great actor. Yeah. Again, played by one dude,
but when they come on the screen, you knew who
was who. Yeah. Same dude. Yeah. Fucking nuts.
Just the way he held himself and carried himself.
Some of the changes in perspective. It went to
IMAX fucking size and then went back to Letterboxd.
Dude, I didn't even know it did that. It does
it in specific times. So it was Letterboxd when
they were waiting for the vampires to come in
after Old Lovers had come in and then it opened
right up into IMAX and then they came in and
shit went down, kind of gave you more perspective.
Yeah, they did it a heap of times. I liked it,
man. Oh, yeah. I will be watching that one again,
but I've got so many movies I have not seen yet
that I've got to put time into. Because I think
everybody's – the thing is if I put something
on upstairs, I don't watch it. So I always put
on things that I've seen a billion and one times
because it can just play in the background. I
can hear it and know what's going on. But, yeah,
I can't put anything new that I haven't watched
on because otherwise I'd sit there tattooing
like this and they'd just get shit. In the same
spot. Yeah. Dig a hole. Going through their arm.
But, yeah, I loved Sitting in His Man. I thought
it was great. I'd like to watch it again. It
was funny. So the vampire hunters, the Indians,
Native Americans in that, and that Nosferatu,
they've got the Romanian kind of vampire hunters
in it. I'm like, fuck, I would like to see some
more kind of cool, like they're just fucking
dripping in fucking sick get -ups. Yeah, dude.
Yeah, looking really cool. Like period hunting
vampires back in the day. Yeah, and, like, it's
just they were wearing probably what people would
have worn in the time, but they just looked fucking
cool and, yeah, very fun. I loved how they had,
like, they had all the paintings and shit on
the horses, and it would give me a flashback
to a Yellowstone episode I watched where Rip
has to ride a horse into a camp, and they don't
know how many people are there, how many guns
are there, and he's like, I'm going to ride in,
and then you see. I forget his name and it's
so bad. Mo. And he's painting on the horse and
he goes, this is how he's sure -footed. This
is to give him speed. This is to let him see
in the dark. And it's like all these symbols
have a meaning. I'm just white scum that has
no idea what it all means. I put dicks on everything.
It doesn't help. Yeah. The last movie I checked
out this week was Weapons. I didn't watch it.
I'm scared. It's good. It isn't scary. It's surprisingly
funny. Oh, shit. Kids getting shot in schools
isn't funny. No, that doesn't happen. Not to
Australians anyway. Sorry, I apologise. I don't
know whether it was meant to be funny. I think
it was meant to be funny. Right. In parts. The
trailer, mate, there was no funnies in the trailer.
Yeah. It's pretty refreshing what they did with
the whole movie. So it was one of those movies
where it tells. Different parts from different
people's perspectives. So it's not a linear story.
It's more. There's overlapping and kind of intertwining
and stuff like that. Yeah, by about halfway you've
pretty much figured out what's going on and it's
just them waiting for everybody else to catch
up. Right. And, yeah, it's pretty brutal in scenes.
Does it land it well? Like does the movie finish
well? Yeah. Yeah? Yeah, I think so. Okay. The
ending is. Fucking hilarious. Jesus. Well, I'm
going to have to watch that so I don't want to
go home. And that's on VOD now, isn't it? Yeah.
Is it? Where? Did you have to rent it? I don't
know where you could find it. You're right. I
found it. Yeah, you did. I don't know where other
people would find it though. Straight up left
next to the prostate. Is that all you've watched?
That is. Man, I've been watching heaps of stuff
lately. You've been watching so much. I've been
making an effort. Hell yeah, yeah. I'm proud
of you. The books have fallen by the wayside
because of it. Yeah. Well, that was another thing.
This last week, Rach has been – she went on a
bit of a road trip holiday with Abby. Yep. And
so it's just been me and Lo. So because we've
been getting up at, you know, 5 .30, 5 o 'clock
every day, by the time it comes around to – 7
.30, and I've tucked him into bed. I'm like,
right, I'm going to go climb into bed as well.
And then I'm like, usually 11 .30, I'll hold
on until 11 .30, but because Rach isn't there
and we're not talking and it's just me in the
house alone, 8 o 'clock, man, I'm fucking out.
I'm unconscious. And, yeah, so all the stuff
I've been watching. And it took me four goes
to watch that episode. That episode of Alien
Earth, dude. What the fuck's wrong with me? But,
yeah. Oh, sorry. Another thing I did watch. I
re -watched with Landon No Way Home. Oh, yeah,
you did. It's a tearjerker. Fucking hell. Yeah.
I'm not. No. But it's fucking good. Like, it's
funny because Landon hasn't seen the other Spider
-Man movies. Oh, you've only been doing the Marvels,
haven't you? Yeah. Yeah, so. He didn't have kind
of that reaction with Toby and that. But, like,
I told him that there'd be, you know, when they
showed up, oh, he's from these Spider -Men. Nice.
So, yeah, there was some things that probably
didn't hit for him. But once he gets around to
watching those, he'll be like, okay. Yeah. I
think, again, it hit for us because, you know,
we were. Well, late 20s. Yeah. When the first
Baltimore came out. Dude, high school. Were you
in high school? Yeah. I remember when it first
came out. For Toby McGuire. 2000 it came out.
I was in high school. Year 12. Yeah. Holy shit.
Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Okay. 2000 or 2001? When did
the Twin Towers go down? 2001. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. So I remember back in the day recording
music videos on Rage and stuff. And I was up
until 6 o 'clock in the morning or whatever and
the first ad came up for Spider -Man and it was
a helicopter caught in a web between the two
towers. Yeah, that didn't run for long. Didn't
run for long at all. I was actually working up
at Mount Thorley when the Twin Towers were hit,
and I was driving away, and I just had it, like,
you know, your tape deck with your CD player,
and you plug it into your Discman, put it in
your tape deck in your car. I was doing that,
rocking like a badass. Then I got to work, and
oh, good, you hear me? Some dumb cunt flew into
the fucking towers. How do you fly a plane that
low? We just thought it was a pilot error. Nope.
Yeah, no, I was in year nine when that happened.
Fuck, you're old. Whoa. Whoa. Sorry. Three years.
Yeah. No, four years. Four years. Are you 40
next year? Yeah. God, you're old. Dude, I was
talking to one of Jack's mates. He's on social
media and we follow each other. Anyway, put something
up the other day and see him taking a selfie
and I was like. And I'm like, I just commented,
okay. And he wrote back. He wrote me a message.
He was like, we snarled out. Check this out.
Some 60 -year -old dude's commenting on me photos.
And I'm like, you piece of shit. Fucking jerks.
But Jack even said the other day, he goes, sorry,
your birthday's coming up. What are you, 50?
I'm like, no, I'm 43. And he's like, 50, closer
to 50. I'm like, no. When I get to 45, past 45,
then he can say I'm 50. But I'm not there yet.
But anyway. All right. That'll be the end of
Week in Review for this week. Thank you for joining
us. You want to say anything? Oh, do you want
me to say something? You usually do. You're not
going to cut me in. No, I've got to do one. What
do I say to this one? Just thanks for joining
us. That's what you say. What do you normally
say? You say something along the lines of, you
know. Six months, guys, I've been doing this
shit. Still don't know what the fuck we're doing.
You usually say love, peace, chicken grease,
which maybe you should enunciate that more because
the amount of times I have to change that in
the fucking subtitles because it comes out nothing
like it. No, but I do just love, peace, chicken
grease. I say that every time I fry up the shackers
and I walk out of the shop. No, it's fine. I
don't mind you saying it. Maybe just enunciate
it more so I don't have to change it manually.
What is it saying? Does it just say heaps of
random shit? Yeah, pretty much. Damn it. I love
YouTube captions. Did I send you that thing of,
oh, speaking of captions. Can we wrap this up?
Oh, sorry. Thanks so much for joining us, guys.
