From the dungeons of Morningstar, my name's Stretch.
And I'm Clint, and this is Prevailing Strange.
G'day guys, this is Pop Culture News with Prevailing
Strange, where we get to talk about some of the
things that have crossed our feeds this week,
and we also get to check out some of the latest
trailers. If you like what we're doing here,
guys, as much as we like doing it, like, comment,
subscribe, tell us what you're watching, what
new games, because I've got a couple of games
to talk about today, Jeremy. What games are you
playing? And we'll get you back. What news have
you got for us this week, buddy? Okay, so like
I said, I have some video game news coming up,
which I'm rather excited about. Mark Bernardin
has written for... a video game about Black Panther
and Captain America in the 1940s. I'm pumped
for that to come out. He has also contributed
two episodes to the Wakanda Forever animated
show on Disney. I love what Mark Bernard does.
He's always got a real strong opinion, and usually
if you sit there and you listen to him, you're
like, he is right. So the fact that he's getting
more work is pretty sensational. Matt Reeves.
Even after her win at the Emmys, Kristen Milioti
won't be returning as Sophia Falcone in the Batman
2. I would love to see her do more as that character.
Dude, you need to watch it. It's top -tier television
and the fact that it is just – it's in our wheelhouse
is just another tick. It could stand out on its
own as – its own thing. It doesn't even need
to have the penguin in it if his name was just
Oz. It would be an epic storyline. Yeah, I want
to check it out. It's on the list. And she's
sensational in it. It's going to be a myth for
her not being the Batman 2, at least in some
capacity. Speaking about the Batman, Matt Reeves
says that Batman 2, the Batman 2, will do. Bruce
Wayne's arc like never before. Dude, I've seen
him say something else about that as well. He's
bringing in a villain that we've never seen on
film before. How hard do you think they're going
to lean into the fact that – no, I don't think
– because I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that
Robin's going to be a thing in this one. Or that
might have been in something else. I think he's
too young to have a Robin. I think so too. Yeah.
He was only two years in, in the first one. I
don't, yeah, I don't think he's got anything
to teach a Robin at this stage. Yep. But yeah,
dude, I'm excited for whatever Matt Reeves does.
And he, like he's even said, it's going to, him
and Robert Pattinson have both said that it's
leaps and bounds above the first one. If that's
true, man, it's a pretty high bar because I love
that first meeting. Yeah, that first one was
great. So good. James Cameron has admitted that
he's struggling to write Terminator 7. Don't.
Just leave it, sir. You had a great idea. You
had two great movies and sensational movies.
People still talk about them to this day. And
then what? You've shit on a legacy of your own.
I think. Honestly, I still don't know whether
I like the latest one with Arnie and Sarah Connor.
Yeah, Emily Clark. No, no, no, not that one.
The latest one. Oh, shit. There was another one?
Yeah, the one that came out with Arnie and had
Sarah Connor returning. What's her name? Linda
Hamilton. Linda Hamilton. Really? Yes. Oh, shit.
Where? What do you mean, where? I didn't say
that. It's the one with the new Terminator that
has a liquid metal exoskeleton and a T -800 style
fucking, yeah. Did not even know about. The last
one I seen had a black cyborg and it was nanites
or nanobots. Yeah, that was the one. Wasn't it
supposed to be John Connor? And he was called
Gramps. Yeah, it was. It was John Connor, yeah.
And that was the one with Emilia Clarke playing
Sarah Connor. Yeah, no, there's one after that.
Oh, Jesus Christ. Really? Yeah, and it was the
one that had the original John Connor kind of
scene in it. No idea. Oh, well. Six, obviously,
if he's struggling to write another song. Yeah.
So Disney is facing boycotts now from some major
stars and creators over the Jimmy Kimmel firing.
Because they own that station, do they? Disney
was the one that got rid of him. Disney, yeah.
The ABC. I mean, it's pretty ridiculous that
they fired him over that. The fact that you can
get fired for having an opinion? In a country
where one of their... Freedom of speech. Ten
things is freedom of speech. Well, dude, they're
just breaking all of the fucking commandments
over there now, aren't they? Except for the one
that everybody wants you to cancel. Put the guns
down, guys. Yeah. Put the guns down. Yeah. Wow.
And it was pretty freaking tame what he said.
Yeah, he was just saying that they were trying
to label the shooter as the left instead of.
Yeah. Yeah. Did you see what Robert De Niro had
done at the fucking awards the other night? He's
not getting cancelled. He literally come out
and said F Trump. Loud as F repeatedly. Yeah.
And everyone got up and cheered. Yeah. And now
Jimmy Kimmel gets the sack. Yeah. The worst part
is it's not just Jimmy Kimmel that has been let
go. There's so many people behind the scenes
that have lost their jobs also. Yeah. That's
the hardest bit. Fucking shitty ass. Yeah. Yeah,
it was Trump leaned on somebody at Disney or
ABC or whatever and they - Disney could have
Donald Trump whacked in a day. And they canned
Kimmel half hour before he was meant to record.
Wow, that's brutal. Yeah, isn't it? Didn't give
him one last show. Just pulled him. Pulled the
plug. Wow. Yeah. Nuts. So Colbert - Colbert.
But he's been picked up again. I hope so, man.
Well, he just - I think he has another show already
with one of the streaming services, I think now.
Could you imagine, Ryan, if a streaming service
picked up Kimmel, Fallon and Colbert and gave
them just a show of their own? Yeah. Imagine
how much money they'd cash in on that. That'd
be huge. That'd be sensational. Yeah. Disney
noodles, man. The world is going to be run by
Disney. And we're still giving them more of our
money. She's a nice. Speaking of Disney, the
X -Men universe is rumoured to be on the path
to destroy other universes, including the MCU's
616 Doomsday. So I think this is why we're not
going to see a villainous Doctor Doom. He's just
going to be a Doctor Doom that's had enough and
he's going to go around correcting some shit.
And he's not going to let anyone stand in his
way. A la Thanos. Okay. Interesting. That's my
take. Yeah. That's not written down. Please don't
kid. Daredevil 1 again has been approved for
a season 3. Officially. Greenlit. Yeah, right.
Okay. We're getting a season 3. Right. Okay.
Yeah. Season 2 isn't the end of it. That's shit.
Why? Because I want... I want fucking Daredevil
in the MCU already. I want him interacting with
my heroes. I want him in Spidey more. Spidey
would be so cool. Him in Deadpool. Jeez and crackers.
Tom Cruise is officially returning for Days of
Thunder 2. God damn that man. He's just winning
at life. Oh, god damn. That was one of my favourite
all -time movies, dude. That's how Rachel won
me over. I don't think I've seen it. Get the
fuck out. I'm done. What the fuck is wrong with
you? I don't think I've seen it. I've been trying
not to swear this whole fucking show, but you've
just gone and fucked me right off. What the fuck
is wrong with you? What's it about? Fuck off.
Don't you dare. Who are you? You're fucking best
mates with me and Mitchell fucking Branch and
you fucking don't know what Days of Fucking Thunder
is. Who said best mate? Whoa. I don't mean that,
Branchie. I love you. I'm sorry, Mitchell. No,
literally, I haven't seen it. What's it about?
NASCAR. That's probably why I didn't watch it.
You love America. You love everything about America.
Every one of your caps is to do with an American
sport that nobody around here watches. And you
sit here and you preach, oh, America's so fucking
awesome. But you've never watched a movie about
NASCAR with Tom Cruise. America's sweetheart.
I'm not going to watch a movie where they drive
around in circles. Did you watch Ted Lasso? Was
it about soccer? You just said it was about fucking
NASCAR. But it is. Oh, my God. I'm sorry, guys.
Now we know why we're not getting fucking picked
up. By who? Everyone. Tom Cruise is out there.
Yeah. He heard. He's like, wow, fuck these guys.
And then L. Ron come down and he's like, hey,
just told everybody to stop watching. Okay. I
don't know. You dick. You dick. Fucking dick.
I can't fucking believe you. I don't think it's
that bad, really. I think. No, you know what
I want for this episode too now? I want you to
go through and put a beep in front of every one
of them fuckens that I've already said. It's
not going to happen. No, that's your penance.
Penance? No, I just ticked the explicit thing
at the end of editing. So, you know, kids shouldn't
be watching this. They are. If your kids are
watching it, it's not our fault. Oh, yeah. So
in Marvel Zombies. Yeah. Blade is that universe's
Moon Knight. Ooh. So I was like. Is that Moon
Knight? Yeah. I was saying when we were watching
the trailer, is that going to be Moon Knight?
Yeah, he is Moon Knight. Damn. So apparently
the people that were making this. thought Blade
was going to come out before. So now that Blade
hasn't come out before, they've got liberty to
do, I think they need to kind of avoid whatever
they were going to do because it might have been
something revealed in the movie. So they've just
gone, yeah, fuck it, we'll put him underneath
the guise of Moon Knight. Fuck yeah. Fist of,
what's your name? Cush? Canoosh? Fuck, I don't
know. Stars with a K, doesn't it? The Moon God.
Kishu? No. Come on. I don't know. You've got
it? No. Cancun. Cancun. Dude, I love that show.
I love Moon Knight. I thought it was so good.
I'm still upset that we haven't got a Blade movie
yet. I'm so... Pissed off. But we've still got
the original three, which is still there. Did
you see there was a thing that came out the other
day about all the actors and actresses who have
had to pull out of a Marvel movie or a DC movie
because they were contractually obligated to
go do something else? No. All right. So Emily
Blunt was cast as their Black Widow, right? Yeah.
But she had to go because she had already signed
on to do Gulliver's Travels. Mm -hmm. Joaquin
Phoenix was meant to be our Doctor Strange. Right.
But he passed after the negotiations fell through.
Mm -hmm. John Hamm was going to be Green Lantern.
He was asked repeatedly, but he turned it down
every time. Smart man. Right. Jude Law was meant
to be Superman with Brendan Routh's Superman.
Mm -hmm. Roth. Ruth. Ruth. Roth. I don't know.
But he tried the suit on and he's like, no chance.
Russell Crowe was. They wanted Russell Crowe
for Wolverine and he passed and recommended Hugh
Jackman. Matt Davin was meant to be Daredevil
but he passed due to script and director concerns.
Heath Ledger was originally meant to be Batman
but he refused to do superhero movies before
accepting to do The Dark Knight. Yeah, that was
a nice little bit of tidbits there. So Alan Cummings
has wrapped up doing his Doomsday stuff, said
that. He did the entire thing in isolation, green
screens, mocap marks for his face. That's not
cool. And then all the other actors or characters
he was interacting with had code names, so he
doesn't even know who he was working with or
actors had code names, I think. Dude, that's
so shit. I mean, that just kind of makes me think
that it's only a bit part. Yeah. Yeah. That's
sad as shit too, but like. Imagine when you made
that movie, X -Men, and you got in the suit and
you had all the make -up on, you're like, yeah,
fuck yeah, this is acting. Now these days it's
just a couple of dots on your face and a camera
in front of it. I will say, though, the beast,
or beast at the end of the Marvels. Was good.
It was good. Best beast we've had so far. But
I think that wasn't all 100 % CG, was it? Yeah,
it was. Was it? Yeah. Or mocap, yeah. It did
look good. But also, Kelsey Grammar, when he
was just jumping around having a ball, was so
good. I love that. He's a bit old now to do that,
though. Yeah. Freddie Krueger, actor Robert Englund,
he's voicing Jiminy Cricket in an upcoming...
Pooniverse. Pinocchio movie. I didn't see that.
And I saw the artwork or the concept art. Yeah.
So good. Pretty wicked looking cricket. Yeah.
Dude, I haven't watched. What was the last one
that came out? Bambi. Bambi. I want to watch
that, dude. I don't know if it's out yet, but
yeah. It's going to be so good. I haven't watched
any of the poo ones. No. I probably won't. Me
neither. So Henry Cavill has injured himself
in training for Highlander. So they've pushed
it back. They said the release will be in 2026
anyway. Yeah, they had to push it back. His injury
will take six months to recuperate from, apparently.
I thought it would have come out in 2026 anyway.
Like, if they're filming it now. They might have
just pushed it back at six months in 2026. 2026
is 12 months long, Jeremy. Yeah, I know. But,
like, I don't know. Just the article I saw is,
oh, they've pushed it back to 2026. That makes
it sound like the beginning of, why didn't they
say push it back to six months? Yes, sir. Okay,
I got you. I got you. But Dave Bautista shared
a post about it as well. He's like, when Henry
falls, we go. And he's like, we're still working
out, keeping up in shape and shit. He's going
to kill the Kirk, man. He's going to be so good.
Oh, I love Dave Bautista. Did you see the first
look at Ryan Gosling in? Starfighter. Flame Grey?
Yeah. In the last Starfighter? Starfighter. Starfighter?
What did I say? No, I said Starfighter. What
did I say? I said last Starfighter. You said
Starfighter. Sorry. Yeah. I fucked up, not you.
Mm -hmm. Yeah. Star Wars, Starfighter. Mm -hmm.
Yeah. That's all the news I've got. You're going
to be sad. Mm -hmm. But in an interview, Matt
Reeves has confirmed that it's an Elseworlds
story and it will not be part of the main DC
universe. He says that. Oh, my God. You're going
to be like Marshall. in How I Met Your Mother.
It's not the first time I've been compared to
him. Sweet. You are handsome. Man, yeah, I won't
believe it until the day I see that movie. Yeah,
right. Okay. Dwayne the Rock Johnson has been
cast to play Captain John Price in an upcoming
Call of Duty movie. Why? Why? Why? Go and just
rest, mate. Go and lay up. Relax. Just stop it.
That's the last bit of goddamn news I got. Although
the game news I wanted to talk about, Jeremy,
was No Man's Sky. More No Man's Sky news. Dude,
these developers of this game at Deadset knocking
it out of the park and just released one of the
biggest updates. It's a free update, mind you,
which allows you. to build bases and there's
people that are building bases like massive toilet
bowls, dude. And the toilet seat, when you approach
the toilet seat comes up and you go and let,
they're building like whole full Minecraft -esque
like buildings and scapes and shit. And then
you go to space and you can build anything your
heart desires in the shape of a ship, dude. I'm
telling you. It's so good. You can, like, more
creatures have come out that you can tame and
shit. Yep. And, yeah, it is. Honestly, if anybody
on release when it came out, it was very, very
subpar. But since then, they've been quietly,
and for free, mind you, been updating this game
slowly but surely, and now it is one of the top
-tier games out there. It's one of the games
that I would want to check out if I had more
time on my hands. Yeah, it is. I'll put it up
there, man. Nice. Don't hold it against me because
I usually play Ark. But this was a nice step.
And it's just peaceful. Yep. Just flying around.
So good. Okay. That's all I've got for you, mate.
All right. We've got a few trailers. Play. Vickius.
Is that Deborah Ann Wall? No. Oh, it's her. Can
I help you? I don't know where I... Ma 'am, do
you want to come in? Get out of the cold? I'm
sorry. It's so late. Do you have your phone?
I can call for you. This house... is clear. I'm
gonna start. What? This will be for you now.
You are going to die. Tonight. What are you talking
about? Unless... You give it what it wants. Three
things go inside. Something you need. Something
you hate. Something you love. I'm gonna call
the police now. You can't do that. Don't tell
anyone. Don't you dare. What's the matter? I
need your help. Can I come in? Yes. She just
got here. What? Look what you made me do. Think.
Think. Something gay. Is that really something
you hate? I thought it was a nightmare, but I
didn't wake up. You won't wake up. Oh, fuck me!
What if you're wrong? What will happen? I bet
it's bad. Oh, she's got them holes in her face.
God dang it. I love you. Okay. Dude, that looks
sick. Yeah, particularly gruesome too. Someone's
been watching The Dark Knight too. Wow, dude,
that looks so good. You like that over some of
the other holders? Yeah, that was intriguing
as shit. What's with the box? Yeah. We need a
Brad Pitt writer. What's in the box? And five,
four, three, two. You don't say the last, it's
okay. Anaconda. I love me some Paul Rudd. I don't
want to wait, man. Doug, what are you talking
about? Let's do it. Let's reboot Anaconda. Yes.
Wait. What? This is going to be the adventure
of a lifetime. We've dreamed of making this movie
ever since we were kids. What does it cost to
get this thing made? Two and a half million dollars.
We've approved a loan for up to $9 ,400. Yes.
We're going to shoot it indie style. Run and
gun. We need a riverboat, a script, a snake handler,
and a real snake. Claire, you and I will star
in it. I love you, Derek. Kenny, you shoot it.
Here we go. Doug, you direct. Action. Put your
face right up next to the snake. It'll be okay.
Cutting. This is Anaconda. And we no longer have
a snake for our snake movie. we have to go out
in the jungle and find another one what is that
oh my god we're in the middle of the jungle and
we are being hunted Keep rolling! He's dead?
Oh, no. What are we gonna do? What if we use
Doug as bait to get back to the boat? That's
a really smart idea. Doug would've wanted this.
I'm not sure he would've wanted this. I'm not
gonna mistake. He's alive. I thought you checked
his pulse. He did. He's right behind you. What
the hell is all that? It's a long story. Run.
When I heard that they were rebooting Anaconda,
I was so pissed off. I'd never heard. I was like,
it is going to be so shit because the original
was shit. That was amazing. That's how they should
do Rebirth from now on. That was so good. Full
meta. Yeah, I love it. You guys used to be the
horsemen. Why did you break up? We made some
huge mistakes. We got sloppy, cocky. Sorry, guys,
that's really a bummer. A bummer? I love the
way your generation sums things up so eloquently.
According to that card, for some reason, I need
you. Charlie, June, and Bozo. It's Bosco. Bosco
Leroy. What did you type? Fictional magician
name into Chachi PT? Oh, that's actually my real
name, Atlas. Would your mom have sex with a map?
That's not funny. What's up? Two generations
of magicians brought together for a reason. Upside
down room. Cool. Cool? Is nothing impressive
to you? The Vanderburg Corporation launders money
for arms dealers, traffickers, warlords. She
makes all the world's worst criminals possible.
She doesn't just launder money, she kills people.
This is a chance to make a real difference. The
Vanderburg family does not lose. What's the trick?
A wise man once told me, in the mirror, in fact.
Never assume you're the smartest person in the
room. Prove it. Diamonds are forever. This is
gonna be fun. Let's see some magic. The closer
they look, the less they'll actually see. So
carry on, my horsemen. You got this, Jack? Wait,
don't you mean June? Come on, this isn't fair.
I've been picking locks since before she was
born. When does he start the lock picking? Don't
rush me. He's got it. You mind if I just, uh...
Lead the way? I think he loosened it for her,
ultimately. Dude, I like their movies. Still
got it. Yeah, I like their movies. I think the
cast is sick. Yeah, they're just fun. Yeah. But
I always like Heist movies anyway. Heist movies
are cool. Exhibit. How many have we got up here,
Jeremy? There's another three more. Oh, God.
Oh, God. Let's torture ourselves. Upcoming comedy.
Sir Wraith, stand back. With these words, your
mortal shell shall meet my fate, the fiery hell.
on the special effects. Special effects look
fucking sensational. I don't think I'm going
to get used to the fact that it's not hair and
cowl anymore. Unpopular opinion. Mm -hmm. He's
more accurate as Geralt. What do you mean? Geralt
was never big, dude. Geralt was never heaps gruff.
Didn't you hear him putting the gruff voice on?
Yeah, but he would never talk. Fuck. You never
talk like this. That's it. He, look. Compared
to the game. Henry Cavill's, yeah. Henry Cavill's.
And I had people go, oh, the book, it was a book
before. Shut up. The Henry Cavill in that first
season of The Witcher was sensational. He was
insane. But I don't think people were watching
it because it was so accurate as Geralt. I think
he was just doing a kick -ass job and the series
was good. Well, I mean, the first season was
like the book. The rest of them weren't. Yeah.
And it dropped off when it wasn't. Well, that's
why he ended up getting shitty. Yeah. Because
it was not like the source material. Yeah. And,
I mean. I've never read any of the books. He's
not a boy in the fucking, in the books. No, well,
he's not a boy in that either. He fucking looks
like a boy. Oh, stop it. Look at that. And that's
a little boy. Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty,
pretty, pretty boy. That's a man. Goddamn. Well,
just you guys can't see what's on the screen.
We're looking at Henry Cavill. Well. With a downed
plane used to move inmates around the country.
This is the one shot at freedom. I get that.
I need to know what happened up there. We diverted
and made an unscheduled pickup. They said he
was high priority. He was hooded. Fucking Con
Air. Come on, Apple. It was like he knew. He
knew what? Con Air. Everyone, circle up. We have
a downed plane two miles south from here. It's
used to move inmates around the country. Eleven
are captured. Eighteen still missing. This is
going to be their one shot at freedom. Mr. Remnick,
Sidney Schofield, CIA. Pavlov's out there executing
a plan. Do whatever it takes to secure the perimeter.
Knock, knock. Schofield, this is Alaska. There
is no perimeter. People up here are different.
Morning, Frank. I took an oath to protect them.
This will consume you. You can see it. I've seen
what this man is capable of. I see what's going
on. I'm looking for 18 prisoners. And the CIA's
looking for one. Clock's ticking. What are you
not telling me? He's watching you, Frank. He
wants to understand you, see what's important
to you, so he can manipulate you. Hey, Frank.
Guess who? I love you. Where's my wife?! We don't
know what his endgame is. I'm going to find your
guy and whatever else it is you're hiding. What's
going on at the end of this year is so much content
coming out, dude. When the aliens went to get
here. Yeah. As long as we've got time. No, I
mean, what are they distracting us from? We'll
save that for later. Yeah, we've got one more.
Okay. Hi, Melanie. Hi, Mrs. Winchester. Oh, please
call me Nina. Come on in. So why do you want
this job? I just really enjoy being a housemaid.
For the right families, of course. You know this
is a live -in position, right? This is your room.
What do you think? It's perfect. Okay, good.
So, would you like the grand tour? See what you're
getting yourself into? The job is mostly cleaning,
organizing, some light cooking. Hello? Millie's
gonna be living with us? She's gonna live with
us. Andrew, I told you that. She'd be part of
the family. I want you to feel safe here. I do.
Theodore. You're a lifesaver. I don't know what
I'd do without you. Billy. I need this job. I
can't lose it. I do not want to go back. Oh,
I'm asking, baby. Please, please, please. Don't
prove I'm right. Please, please, please. Please,
please, please. Don't bring me to tears when
I just did my makeup so right. Don't fuck with
this old bitch. I have a really good feeling
about this, Millie. Me too. Okay, I'll be in
touch. There was one trailer we watched, right?
Yeah, I don't know who is the antagonist. He's
the psychopath. Maybe that's the whole thing
about the book is the whole way through you don't
know until the end. Jesus Christ. Well, that's.
That's all we've got for this. That's fucking
all we've got for this episode of Providing.
Jesus. Yeah. I had no idea what's going on. I'm
going to have to go and read the book. That's
going to piss me off. Holy shit, dude, that was
nuts. I've still got no idea. All right, mate.
I'll see you Wednesday. Love, peace, chicken grease.
Bye.
