From the dungeons of Morningstar, I'm Clint.
And I'm Stretch. And this is Prevailing Strange.
G'day, guys. This is Pop Culture News with Prevailing
Strange, where we get to share some of the things
that have crossed our feeds this week, and we
also get to check out some of the latest trailers
that have dropped. So, yeah, if you like what
we're doing here, guys, we sure as shit like
making it, so... Interact. Comment, subscribe,
do all that sort of stuff. Tell us what you're
watching, listening to, or playing. What news
have you got for me this week, buddy? Oh, news.
Dude, I'll talk about it later. See, this is
the thing. If we weren't friends, we wouldn't
have to talk about stuff. We'd always have news.
But the fact that I want to talk to you all the
time about everything is a pain in the ass. Everybody's
seen the Peacemaker intro, right? That dance.
Fortnite has removed the animations for the Peacemaker
character, right? I don't know if anybody's ever
seen what a swastika looks like. It doesn't look
like an H. No. And the fact that they've taken
it out because of the last episode, because they're
like, ooh, it must have been, it wasn't one of
those at all. Yeah. It was. Just a dance move.
He'd done it in the first season as well. Yeah.
It's just a dance move, guys. Just coincidental.
Somebody must have said, oh, that kind of looks
like a suspect. It doesn't. A propeller looks
more like a swastika than anything, dude. We
better start blurring out airplanes. I don't
know. But I just thought that was a bit of a.
A bit weak sauce. A real weak sauce. Very, very
loose butthole. Just not good, dude. I didn't
like it. Stop doing this shit. If people are
offended by it, that's okay. Offence is subjective.
You can be offended. The 90s was some of the
best times of my life. Bro. And people were getting
offended left, right and centre. Hell, yeah.
You just couldn't say anything about it. Suck
it up, princess. Get to work. But, yeah, I don't
know. I just hope the world starts simmering
down a little bit sooner or later and we start
having fun again. Not that fun should be offending
people. Well, no, it wasn't so much that it was
fun. People just had thicker skin and just, you
know, okay. That was pretty shit of somebody
to say, but you get over it. Yeah. Now they go
for your family, they go for your business, they
go for your livelihoods and everything. Yeah.
On the Peacemaker train, James Gunn has come
out and said that there will not be a season
three of Peacemaker. Nice. Though he said that
it's not the end for those characters. Hell yes.
I didn't think they are some of the best characters
DC's ever produced, even Economist, dude. Economist
is sensational. They've got way more depth than
a lot of - Absolutely. And if nobody's watched
Peacemaker, saying that about what looks like
a fucking dumb show. Yeah. It's dumb. It's dumb,
but man, it's got some feels. Mate, in that first
season, his relationship with his father and
how much he loves his brother and the fact that
there is that thing there. Mate, there's times
where I'm crying at Peacemaker. Legitimately
crying. And these characters, they're complicated.
They've got depth. 100%. For a comedy. For a
comic book show. Yeah. Well, we can't say that
anymore because, mate, I'll blubber like a girl
at Endgame, okay? I'll blubber like a girl at
No Way Home. Not the girl. Fucking hell. I'm
not filtering that. Stop it. The fact that we
say that and everyone goes, it's just a comic
movie. It's not cinema. Bullshit. There's parts
of this show where you laugh or you go, fuck,
that's the dumbest shit I've ever seen. How did
they put that on television? Yeah. And then you're
crying. It's thick, dude. 100%. Yeah, love it.
We're getting a Simpsons movie part two coming
out on the 23rd of the 7th, 2027. I did see that.
Which, look, I'm not sure. how I feel about it
because I've never really been a Simpsons kid.
I was South Park and a Family Guy kid. I loved
the Simpsons up until I finished high school.
Fair. Righto. And I don't know, it's probably
because at school, you know, you come home and
you do the whole routine after school and, you
know, the Simpsons was part of that. Yeah. Once
you're not. at school anymore and your life changes
and you're there and you're everywhere, you just
stop watching it. Much like Biker Mice from Mars
as well because that was a thing where you got
up in the morning, you ate your cereal, you watched
some cheese TV, Biker Mice from Mars, Captain
Planet, all the good shit. All the good shit.
There's no morning TV anymore, Jeremy. No. Fuck.
I actually saw there was a, I think they were.
either NFL players or they were NBA players.
I'm pretty sure they were NFL players. And they
had like a bit of a setup in front of the camera
and they got kids between them just talking shit
with these kids. And one of them, one of the
football players, had said to this young kid,
you know, what's your favorite cartoon? What's
a cartoon, he said. Do you mean like YouTube?
They don't really do. morning cartoons, afternoon
cartoons anymore. It's YouTube in the palm of
their hands. God damn it. That's wild. So wild.
So wild. Simpsons, yes, I did see that. And that
Disney has removed a Marvel slot. Indeed. From
2027. The only other movie coming out that year
is Secret Wars. It was always. An untitled Marvel
movie. Right. And we never knew what it was going
to be. So they've removed that slot. That's where
The Simpsons 2 is going. Right. Okay, fair. See,
the Russo brothers uploaded an image to Instagram.
They did. All the internet sleuths are coming
out. I have no fucking idea. What is your take
on that image? Now, he'd done it with Endgame.
Yep, he did. He's done it with this. I'll throw
the picture up. I've got the side -by -side comparison
of 2018 and today. I was looking really hard,
really hard to try and find anything. I'm probably
grasping at straws, but I've also seen a lot
of people online saying the same thing. So there's
like a big kind of lean -to in front of him on
the left -hand side of the picture that's potentially
an A. And then you look at the cross beams of
the set behind him and they're Xs. And people
are suggesting that maybe it's an Avengers versus
X -Men. I did see where they're going. The scaffolding
makes an A, and then you've got the scaffolding
and the light, which makes a V. The lights somehow
make an S, and then X. So I was like, A versus
X. That's what I saw. I'm not 100 % solid. To
me, it looks like Galactus' helmet. I was curious
about the fact that... Did we find out from the
2018? I don't think he answered it. I'm not sure.
I can't recall. So that doesn't give us any kind
of hint on whether it's just fucking BS or whether
there's actually something in there to see. Yeah.
I've seen people do on like Canva, they're doing
the AI manipulation of the photo. So that's like
bump up contrast and all that sort of stuff so
you can see shit. Oh, yeah. I played around with
the contrast and shit. Oh, did you? Yeah, didn't
find anything in the shadows. Yeah, I don't know.
I can't do that. So Disney reportedly lost 1
.7 million subscribers in the Jimmy Kimmel saga.
Holy shit. Yeah. For one late night television
host, that's fucking a lot of subscription cancellations.
That's a lot of support, isn't it? That's just
showing it. That right there has got to show
you the overwhelming people that are sick of
cancel culture. The overwhelming people are over
it. You know, you see on the internet, oh, thousand,
oh, sorry, public outrage as this happens in
cinema, blah, blah, blah, blah. It was probably
three people who had a couple of hundred thousand
followers that put a post out. Yeah. Just stop
it, man. No one's asking for it. Yeah, I think
that's the problem. You've got this internet
culture and you've got, like, media culture that
sensationalises all this shit to the point where.
somebody in some office sees it goes, oh, no,
there's public outrage, and then they tap somebody
else on the shoulder and it gets cancelled. Fuck.
It's so shit, dude. James Gunn was asked if Peacemaker
Season 2, Episode 8, teased where the DCU is
going, and he literally said three words, and
it was more than tease. So we're going to see,
like, the correct direction in which he's going
to take the DCU post -Peacemaker. Right, okay.
Which I'm intrigued. Dude, he's got me excited
for DC again, bro. Like, he's coming to this
company that's been in the shitter. Like, it's
been getting slammed everywhere for the last
10 years. And he took the job and he's running
with it, man, giving us characters that we wouldn't
have seen, heard of, talked about, anything like
that, which I'm going to talk about later on
as well. I've got a couple of news snippets.
But, yeah, dude, it's just great to see. Good
to see. Yeah, definitely. The Ghoul. Yes. Voiced
by Walter Goggins will be coming to Fallout 76
in December. Yes! Let's go. Yeah, and so I imagine
some part of the DLC will be available. Hell
yeah. I like that. I'm a fan. This is a rumor,
but Ghost Rider's rumored to have a cameo on
Avengers Doomsday. Yeah, well, we'll see about
that. Yeah, take that with a grain of salt. Yeah.
Season three of Euphoria is set to cost over
$200 million. Euphoria? Mm -hmm. What the hell
is that? It's Zendaya's baby. The TV show where
Sidney Sweeney had that breakout role. Yeah,
right. Yeah. It's a fucking good show. It's a
good show. Yeah, really good. Sell it. So do
you remember like Degrassi? Yeah. Was it the
Canadian one that Drake was in? Yeah. So kind
of imagine that with a little bit of Heartbreak
High but then New Age Edge and like a hard rating
on it. Yeah, right. Yeah. I don't think I'd like
that. It's pretty good. Yeah, all right. Dude,
everybody knows who Huntrix is at this point.
Do you know who Huntrix is? It's the fake band
from K -pop Demon Hunters. I have children. How
good is that show, though? I haven't watched
it. Dude, watch it. It's a good movie. It's a
good movie, dude, and I can't believe I'm saying
it. It's a musical. It's not. It's got demons
in it. Dude, if you just mute it and watch it
for the imagery even. But legit, man, the character
design, the whole animation style is sensational.
I've seen bits and pieces. Watch it. It looks
good. It is. It is a good movie. They'll be making
their live performance debut on October 7th on
Jimmy Fallon. Yeah, right. There you go. There
you go. I'll have to get that up for the kids
to check out. The worst part is they look like
their characters essentially. That's fucking
ridiculous. I'm not even going to lie. Yeah.
They might have modelled them around. Well, probably.
So each character had a singing voice and an
acting voice. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm guessing that's
the singing voices, obviously. Yeah. That makes
the most sense, people. Ignore me. Yeah. Well,
yeah, because they've got very American accents
in the show. So, yeah. But Logan, I want to watch
that. And so will Rachel because fucking I'll
hear those songs every day. Go, sir. Trump has
proposed. Fuck off. We're talking about him.
Let's go. I'm sorry. Go. Trump has proposed 100
% tariff on all movies made outside of the US.
100 % tariff. That would mean. Any movie made
outside of America to be played inside of America
will need to pay twice what it's worth in production.
If they're made outside of America. Yeah, anywhere.
So that means Australian film coming into the
US, American movies shot in Australia, which
is happening a fair bit lately. Considering that...
Dude, this is going to kill the fucking – this
and AI is going to kill the film industry. It
can't go through. There's critics and, like,
people saying that are in the industry saying
that it would be physically kind of impossible
to keep up with all movies made in the way they're
internationally made. So can you imagine, like,
all these great movies, like American -made movies
that shoot scenes on set? in the fictional world
of their fucking universe would have to be on
green screen because it would be cheaper for
the production. Yeah. It would be shit. Some
people are going to use their fucking jobs, man.
America, come on, guys. Come on. What was laughing
at you? According to Greta Lee, the writer of
Beyond the Spider -Verse, it is now in post -production.
Our time. Oh, dude, man, this movie just should
have been out already. It's, dude, it is the,
call me a fucking dick, but it is the best Spider
-Man trilogy. Well, we haven't seen the end yet.
If it's anything like the last two, man, it's
going to sell. Oh, yeah. I mean, I think it will.
You have a look at Toby's trilogy. How was that
third movie, Jeremy? Shit. Yeah. How did, um.
What's his name? Andrew Garfield's trilogy. The
only good one we've got to compare is Tom Holland.
And they are great movies. Great movies, dude.
So it's going to be hard sell, but I reckon they
are. It's probably going to go there. Oh, yeah.
What was the time difference between the first
one and the second one? There was a fair gap
between them. Five years. Okay. 18 and 23. So
we're looking pretty similar. Yeah. Why are we
getting bent out of shape about this? I don't
know. I'm sorry. Just keen for it. Yeah. The
last piece of news I have is the National Treasure
3 producer. Oh, God, I love that movie. Yeah.
Has teased that they're getting close on that
one when asked about whether Nicolas Cage will
return for number three. Fuck yeah, let's go.
So maybe they're in negotiations with him or
something. Come on, Nick. Yeah. Let's go. I like
how they call it the third one, even though there
was another installment. I think that was it.
Was that a movie or was that a TV show? I don't
know. I never watched it. Yeah, we don't talk
about it. Jade Chandrasekhar posted the other
day that Super Trooper 3 has wrapped filming.
Dude, come on. This and Austin Powers. We need
another Austin Powers. I could do without Austin
Powers. No, God, no. And we need another Love
Guru too. We didn't need the last two. Oh, we
need another Love Guru as well. God damn, that
was a fucking hilarious movie. Hated it. Really?
Yeah. The only thing that I've liked Michael
Myers in is Shrek, really. Have you seen The
Love Guru? No. I'm not a dumb comedy fan. That's
what. You've seen it. You've seen it. We're not
doing movies. Does it have to be movies that
none of us have seen? Because I've watched nearly
everything. At least to begin with. Hey, I'm
digging things out that you don't know about.
Like a Serbian film. I haven't seen it. Me neither.
I don't want to. I've watched like 25 minutes
of it. It still scars me. It'd be your choice.
No, thank you. No, I picked last week. Your choice
next month. No, I know what I want. I'm just
saying that if you wanted to choose a Serbian
film, you could. No, I'm not going to. Okay.
Yeah. First look at Avengers Doomsday is rumoured
to debut in theatres with Avatar Fire and Ash.
I'm just going to finger blast you here. James
Gunn confirms the Authority movie is still in
development, which I'm pumped for that. James
Gunn has also said that the Peacemaker Season
2 finale will be a far longer episode. Sony reportedly
wants to sell the rights to Spider -Man back
to Marvel Studios. The Batman 2 will release
officially. Exactly two years from today. There
you go. George Romero's daughter, Tina Romero,
has made a zombie comedy movie about drag queens.
I did hear about that one. It's called Queens
of the Dead, which, yeah, come on. That's royalty.
One of the biggest clues that Deadpool and Wolverine
will be in Doomsday was posted today. Right.
The stunt doubles of Ryan Reynolds, Alex Kitchkovich.
And Daniel Stevens, Hugh Jackman's, both got
on flights shortly after film wrapping from London
and they posted the photo. So that's probably
the biggest thing we've got. Till you dying days.
Rainn Wilson, his new movie coming out, Code
3. Yeah, I've seen that. I'm looking forward
to that. It's apparently not Jesus. It's got
that Lil Rel Howery in it as well. I think he
was in Tag. I like that rain fella. Oh, dude.
But he does some fucking weird shit. Yeah. Was
it super? Was it super? Yeah. Yeah. And he just
popped up for three minutes in a fucking Transformers
movie as a professor who was apparently a sex
fiend because all the girls and he's like moi.
Legend. But, yeah, it's like a love letter to
– it's not just a comedy. It's a love letter
to nurses and paramedics and that and people
who are just heroes that don't get enough credit.
Like a young girl used to work in our cafe, Keegan
her name is. The other day, dude, she'd done
over a 19 -hour shift. Come on, dude. Yeah, big
hours. Like she's done like a 70 -hour week in
four days. No, that's not right. You can't do
that to people. Fucking Jesus. But anyway, Kill
Bill, the whole bloody affair, will get a nationwide
release in December. So it was meant to be one
whole movie and Quentin's like, oh, no, we'll
sit for a five -hour movie. Well, apparently
they're gonna. Do you know what is probably a
sin on my behalf? You've never seen Kill Bill?
I fucking hate you, man. Oh, God. Damn it. And
I don't know why. I don't know why either. They're
good films, man. Great films. Like, I know. I've
heard so much about it. It's, you know, throughout
pop culture. Oh, absolutely. Just one of those
things that fell through the cracks and I've
never been able to go back and get into it. I
think you should catch up on it and we'll talk
about it because that, dude, great films, man.
Great films. At a panel with Collider's Maggie
Lovett during this weekend's Fan Expo. Ben Barnes,
who was a villain in the Punisher series. Mm
-hmm, mm -hmm, mm -hmm. You know who I'm talking
about? Yep. That guy. Yeah, yeah. I just showed
you my news, but anyway. Said emphatically that
he would love to play Batman. I could see it.
He's got the acting chops pulled off. And that
is my news for today. Beautiful. Trailers to
check out. Oh, hang on. Did I say that Ryan Reynolds
is developing his own team -up movie? Like an
Expendables? Yeah. Like his own Deadpool mutants
team -up film. Oh, no. I meant like I thought
he was going to be playing on the whole kind
of new action star kind of trope. No, it'll be
a Deadpool thing. Like X -Force, but maybe surviving.
Are we doing trailers now? Yes, we're doing trailers.
Okay. Let's do. Pillion, the first one? Yeah.
The only thing I want for Christmas is just the
things that I've got. Jesus. Who's next? Hi.
Is not how you'd think he would have turned out,
eh? Not at all. Oh, you handsome son of a bitch.
How do you get a man like that? I have an aptitude
for devotion. ever since he touched my hand I
knew that near him I always must be and nothing
can keep him from me he is my destiny I love
him, I love him, I love him I'm waiting cause
I follow I follow, I follow I'll text you a shopping
list. Oh, yes. Buy yourself a blood plough. You're
too tight. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Get yourself a blood
plough. Lovely. That sounds like a plan. You're
too tight. Bye then. First world problems, mate.
Oh, wow. I'm going to watch the dick out of that,
dude. That looks so good. So I'd seen. A couple
of. Hang on a minute. Who the fuck? It was so
good. I'd seen the posters for that and I thought
it was going to be a punk show. Dude, that was
great. I got punked. Yeah, you did. Oh, that
was so good, man. Fox catch a call? Fox catch
up. Beat me to it. Did I? Oh, shit. That was
good. Told his tale. The intelligence of Guillermo,
can't you? Mm -hmm. Victor Frankenstein. Yeah.
I was worried about him being in the cast. So
he's in that euphoria. Dude. I'm just the biggest
Del Toro fanboy, aren't you? Oh, there's no.
God damn, it's just gorgeous. I'm blowing it
like there's no tomorrow. I was going to say
there's no bigger gothic king out there. No.
Tim Burton is arguably up there. Okay, there
he is. But. You've got to say what Del Toro does
is different again. Yeah. It is gorgeous. Yeah.
It's in a different – like it is in a different
league. The first movie I ever saw of his was
Pan's Labyrinth. And I went into it thinking
it was going to be some fairy tale, lovely –
no. No. No. No. And I'm like, holy shit, this
is amazing. Beautiful. Everything was incredible.
And then when the next one I watched was Hellboy
and made Old Soul. Oh, yeah. Like, holy shit.
He made that look far better than it deserved
to be on the budget that it was. Oh, yeah. Absolutely
bonkers, man. And incredible. Just a beautiful
movie. Skywalker. Sorry, got angry. Hey, this
is Midge. That's gonna be Australia. Tell me
you're okay. Because of the bobcat? I need you.
I love you. The tone, the look in her eyes. The
name of the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit.
Wake up, wake up! It's Navarro. Where is he?
I'll keep trying. I'll keep trying. There's a
Kingy in the back, HQ. If you find your husband,
I hope you understand what that could mean. The
odd ones that do come back online are docile.
Oh, my God. I can assure you, you have nothing
to fear. I don't like that scent at all. Yeah,
the crime. It's like a clicker. The teeth crunching
together. Dude, this looks good. There it is.
You hate it? Here's some fucking more. Don't
you? I thought you were going to do it then.
I was about to fucking reach over there. Grab
you by the mouth to stop. Dude, that looked good.
Oh, that looks good. For like the first three
years of his life, Leonard would grit, crunch
his teeth like that in his sleep. It was fucked.
I'd do that now. That's why I've got my teeth
are shizer. I only clench, so I wake up with
a sore face. That's it. Either that or Steph
hits me. It's because I'm sneaking here and fucking
it. Your face, that is. Sorry. I thought you
just had to clarify. Boom, boom, psycho killer.
Not to say. It hasn't even been 48 hours since
you buried your husband. What I hope to help
you come to grips with. Ooh! No matter how many
times you replay what happened... The outcome
is inescapable. I'd only seen that it was from
the producers of Barbarian and Weapons, and I
threw it on the list to check out. Dude, whoever
directed that trailer is fucking good. That was
sensational. Hell yeah, that was good. I'll be
watching that one. And our last one for the afternoon
is After the Hunt. Julio Rabea. She's in the
bear. Started watching the bear. So what do you
think? I was keeping that as a secret. All of
it. The student. The professor. I think. I know
you want to do it. She mentioned a favorite teacher
of hers, a mentor. This person was less than
supportive when she came forward. So are you
going to tell me why this is not true? Everything
about this feels like a cliche. She's exploiting
this shallow cultural moment. I used to think
I could rely on myself, that I could trust my
instincts about people, about myself. Now, I'm
not so sure I support. Whatever you choose. A
reporter approached me. Don't tell your story
to someone who just wants to turn it into something
they can sell. That's your logic? I mean, that's
just so cute. You never talk about yourself,
your personal life, your family. Misconstruing
my need for privacy as having something to hide
would be a mistake. Respectfully, Alma, I'm not
sure that it is. Have you ever disagreed with
a patient over a sensitive issue? When did offending
someone become the preeminent cardinal sin? All
that is inevitable. It's your courage that's
going to inspire other people in pain. I'm trying
to help you. You don't know anything about me.
You're as well to Zach. You are not entitled
to any information about me in my life. So what
is right? Because. What could make you happy?
Are you scared that we're going to think less
of you if it isn't perfect? Should I build a
world for you that has all the edges rounded
out? I have a right to these spaces. Had your
chosen cell with niceties and trigger warnings.
I am a desperate man, absolutely desperate. I
almost feel bad for him. You should be ready.
Ready for what? Saw a lot. Got a lot of nothing,
though. What's that movie about? Some professor
says something offensive and everyone tries to
hold it, but she doesn't want... to fuck their
fine hoe. And then Richard Gere shows up in a
Lotus Elise and they go off and she goes, oh,
this guy has like some rails. And then she turns
into a prostitute. Fair enough. Anyway, on that
note, that's all for Pop Culture News. Please,
everybody, like, comment, subscribe. Share it
around. Tell everybody that we're cool. Love,
peace, chicken grease. Even if we're not. See
you Wednesday.
