From the dungeons of Morningstar, I'm Clint.
And I'm Stretch. And this is Prevailing Strange.
This installment of Prevailing Strange is what
we like to call Rant and Sundry, where Clint
and I get to touch on some of the subjects that
we've talked about this week. And we also go
wherever the tangents take us. 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. Have you
got any tangents? Any notes previously written
down that you want to go over? I have something
that I would like to call the Kobe Chronicles.
Yes, of course. My nephew, Kobe, writes me jokes,
so I'm going to read one of his jokes out every
week. So this is this week's joke. I'm ready.
My wife said that she would divorce me due to
my Star Wars obsession. May divorce be with her.
Let's go. Oh, yeah. That's Gabby's Chronicles
for this week. Thank you, Gabby. Such a good
dude. What about you, sir? No, I didn't write
anything down from the previous part of the show
to talk about. No? I'm usually waiting for you
to just carry us. What was I going to talk about?
What are you and Lando up to in your Marvelverse?
He's hanging out to watch Ragnarok. Oh, yes.
No, no. Sorry, Love and Thunder. We're past that.
Oh, no. I thought I said the right thing. That
was a rollercoaster. And then you were like,
yes. I'm like, no, that's the wrong one. Straight
off. That right there just goes to show that
one person can fuck something so bad. Taika Waititi
made the best Marvel movie and the worst. They
don't still have it. Oh, yeah, of course. It's
enough for him. Yeah. Like, you know, we're probably
being too critical of some things, but. Everything.
I'm critical of that whole film. Yeah. Except
the shape that Chris Hemsworth was in. Holy shit.
That was godly. Like, I think. I think. that
Zeus was a bit on the nose. Yeah, I agree. And
the whole love will prevail type trope thing.
Yeah. Didn't have to be so ham -fisted. I think
they forced so much of that. I think the bright
-coloured, hammed -up costume changes, like the
blues and the bright golds, was a poor decision.
Yeah. like with the gods and shit, I understand.
Everything's going to be clean because it's heaven,
Valhalla, whatever you want to call it. So, yeah,
I can understand that. But on Earth, why does
it have to be like that? Why change it up so
much from Ragnarok and change it into this completely
different tone? Well, I think there was rumours
that there was a lot of reshoots because Bael's
Gorr the God Butcher was too much. for what Disney
wanted. So there was a lot of reshoots and stuff
to kind of make it funnier. That's another missed
opportunity there. Gore the God Butcher, he's
an incredible character and he was nerfed and
just shot the balls. Yeah, I think he was worried
that he was going to scare the kids. Yeah. Okay.
Parents cannot take their kids. Yeah. I waited
until mine was 7, 8 before we started watching
them. Exactly. They're still going to get, you
know, they're still going to watch it either
by stream or because someone's purchased it.
Well, you have to purchase it these days. You
can't go and rent them. You don't have to purchase
them. Shh. We're on the internet. Not that I
do or condone such behaviours. Mickey Mouse will
come for us. No, he won't. Unless. No, I'm not
going to go deep. Dude, have you ever looked
into things like the Anunnaki? I've heard plenty
of stuff, yes. That's a rabbit hole. It is. I've
heard a lot of it. I don't pay much kind of heed.
I've spoke about it for years. My Uncle Neil
got me onto a man and immediately I was hooked.
So I've always listened to this stuff. There's
a Zachariah Sitchin's book that came out, like
the Lost Book of Enki, come out years ago. But
there was a bloke who went through and narrated
it on YouTube and I've watched it multiple times.
His name's Josh Reeves. I've watched it multiple
times. And it's just like an audio book. He's
like reading it, leading through this Lost Book
of Enki. And it's like based on these tablets
that were found thousands of years ago. And it's,
you know, there's people that have gone through
and said that the Zechariah Sitchin's translations
were well off and like, yeah, fair enough. There
are some that correlate with that. But there's
a whole heap of stuff apparently in these stones
that correlate directly to all these other religions
that stemmed after it. Dude, it's just so fucking
fascinating, man. Like just. And then you watch,
what one was it, Prometheus. The creators come
down, very, very Anunnaki -esque. And it's like,
yeah, that's sick. Let's go with that. But another
movie that sort of mirrors that is a movie that
I watched many, many moons ago called Jupiter
Ascending. It has to be the worst movie I've
ever seen. Can't. No chance. I could name three
right now that would be worse than that. It's
worse than Aquaman. I'm going to let you get
to me, Jeremy. Oh, man. Like, I am a big fan
of the Wachowskis. Big fan. That movie sucked
balls. Are you saying that that's worse than
Battlefield Earth? That wasn't the Wachowskis.
No. You're saying it was the worst movie you've
ever seen. I'd rather watch Battlefield. No,
I don't think I've ever seen it. Come on. Finish
that. Finish that sentence. No. Come on. John
Travolta's masterpiece. My brain caught up. I
thought you said Battleship. I was thinking of
Rihanna and that. I like that movie. I was watching
it. Yeah, Battlefield ever. I've never seen it.
Please watch it. I want you to waste two hours
of your time. Please, it's got Forrest – I nearly
called him Michael Whitaker then. You just did.
No, you can cut that bit out. I'm not going to.
Damn it! That's too good. You can't not do –
you can't say that. That's picking – no, we'll
get cancelled for that. We ought to be something
before we get cancelled. They'll retrograde like
they did with James Gunn and his Nazi outfit.
Yeah, and then I'll have to get people like Dave
Bautista to stand up for me and say I'm a fucking
swell guy and come back to the cast. Get ready
for some sundry. But, yeah, dude, it's terrible.
I want you to watch it. One day when we have
a Patreon, I'll, you know, if you just want to
pay for me to stay home from work and watch shit
movies, I'm a slut for that. Pay me, bitch. Another,
so, yeah, that. Where were we going? Yes, I liked
Jupiter Ascending. No. Yes. I saw it once and
it was horrible, man. See, that's the thing.
You've got to give things a re -watch. I don't
re -watch it. It's either good or it's bad. No,
because you see it with when you're going through
and you're watching it and you're like you're
watching it and then you watch it the second
time and you're actually watching it and thinking
about it. But then I have to see it again. Then
I have to see Channing Tatum with the bleached
eyebrows and fucking pointy ears and fucking.
He was a werewolf. You fucking. I don't know.
It's like trying to be too edgy. And went over
and became campy. Right. Have you ever seen Shark
Side of the Moon? No. I haven't seen any of the
Sharknado movies. It's not a Sharknado movie.
Oh, my God. It's not even a spin -off? No. Sharks
have taken over the dark side of the moon and
they've got a secret facility there. And they
walk on their fins like this and they talk. I
don't have enough time for objectively bad movies
that I don't like that I think are going to be
good movies, let alone to watch outwardly shit
movies. It's an asylum movie. I got that. Right.
We've got to watch this one. Okay. It's an asylum
movie. It's called Velocipasta. Oh, yeah. I've
heard of this. I've seen scenes of it and it's
shit. Have you seen the fire explosion scene?
No, I think I've seen the scene where he's fighting
while in the backyard and they're like the worst
raptors I've ever seen. So he's walking out of
his house and he's saying hooray to his parents.
The Velocity Pastor this is. Pastor? Pastor?
I don't know. I don't know how they say it. Anyway,
the Velocity Kitty Fiddler was like sitting there
watching his parents sort of say goodbye. The
car blew up and then he's like. And it had this
massive shock look on his face, but then it cut
back to the car that's meant to be exploding,
and it just says, insert exploding car VFX. It
didn't even have special effects. I've got to
bring it up. I've got to show you it. Hang on.
Oh, shit. It only goes for 35 seconds. Mom and
Dad! The effects car on fire. Dude, asylum. Asylum
to the wind. If you ever want to feel good about
life and just smile and be happy. Asylum movies,
dude. I don't think I will. They're made on a
shoestring budget. They're so good. What was
it? Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus. Right? Enemies
since the Ice Age and then the United States
Navy detonates it and breaks an ice pack that
held them both in there whilst they were dueling.
They break out and chaos ensues. Anyway, every
shot there's only, I think there's three shots
of the mega shark and the giant octopus, but
they're just flipped and the colour tones turn
down and that's all they do is they just flip
it and all that sort of shit. It's like winning.
They're not, they're trash, but they're guilty
pleasures. It's like your midget porn. It's just
so tall, that's what makes it funny. Oh, no.
I've got a couple of questions for you. Oh, yes.
I love questions. You've got to keep one and
you've got to kill one. Robert Downey Jr. as
Iron Man or Hugh Jackman as Wolverine? You're
a fucking piece of shit, you are. You've got
to keep one. You've got to kick one. That's not
fair, Jeremy. Yeah, it's not the best. Who give
you that question? That's disgusting. You should
hang your head in shame. Hugh Jackman. Whoa.
All right. Heath Ledger is the Joker. Or James
Earl Jones as the voice for Darth Vader. Wow,
you are a devious son of a beast, Incineroar.
I can't claim any of these. No, you're a traitor
and a spy. Take her away. Oh, no, I can't have
his original voice. Darth Vader's iconic. Heath
Ledger's Joker. Oh, yeah. See, I can probably
see where you're going to go with this one. So
Ian McKellar as Gandalf or Bryan Cranston as
Walter White. Bryan Cranston. Bryan Cranston
as anybody. I knew that one was going to fucking.
Anybody could have yelled, you shall not pass.
And finger hobbits. Because that's what he was
doing in them chariots. Another one is Robin
Williams as the genie or Tom Hanks as Woody.
We've seen them try to replace Robin Williams
as the genie before and it failed miserably.
Sorry, Tom Hanks, get another job. And the last
one is Lawrence Fishburne as Morpheus. Oh, come
on, dude. Or Keanu Reeves as Neo. Keanu Reeves
as Neo. I'd kill him. Okay, you'd keep Morpheus.
I'd keep Morpheus. All right, there you go. Yeah.
Easy. It's the whole, it's, you think that's
air you're breathing now? Mm -hmm. And he's,
again, like it's, yeah, it's, dude, look. Anybody
could have been, you know. It could have been
anybody. Could have been. Could anybody have
been John Wick? No. I love Keanu Reeves in that
role, but anyone else could be John Wick. Mm
-hmm. Not a Keanu Reeves iconic character. Yeah.
Someone's tried to play Morpheus before and failed.
But, yeah, Lawrence Fishburne's a just kick -ass
dude. Yeah, I love his voice. Him and, oh, what
was his name? He voiced the Shredder. Oh, he
was the. Uncle Phil in Fresh Prince. Fresh Prince,
yeah. I forget his name. No, I don't know either.
He had an amazing voice as well. Oh, God dang.
Just good tones. Good shivers. I love your questions.
They were good. Like I said, I can't take credit.
I've just seen that on a post, wrote them down,
because I thought that would fuck you up. I want
to know your answers. You want to know my answers?
Yeah. You want to ask me? Yeah. You go ahead
and ask. Okay. Okay. Keep one, kill one. Robert
Downey Jr. is Iron Man or Hugh Jackman is Wolverine?
Robert Downey Jr. is Iron Man. Keep. Keep him?
Sweet. Heath Ledger is the Joker or James Earl
Jones is Darth? It'd have to be Heath Ledger.
Yeah. You're just going to kill one? The one
you're killing? I'm going the one I'm keeping.
You're going to keep Heath Ledger? Yeah, 100%.
You reckon someone could have been Darth? I don't
know, but I would prefer Heath Ledger's performance
over the entire. It was transcendent, wasn't
it? Such a good felon turn. Ian McKellar as Gandalf
or Bryan Cranston as Walter White? Kid Gandalf.
Okay. Rob Williams as Jenny or Tom Hanks as Woody?
Tom Hanks. I might be. Yeah, right. Sorry, fan,
the name Aladdin. Fair enough. Don't get me wrong.
I love Robin Williams. Yeah. But he does Robin
Williams in fucking everything he does. That's
Robin Williams in Robin Williams. Yeah. Lawrence
Fishburne as Morpheus or Keanu Reeves as now?
It'd have to be Keanu. You'd keep Keanu. Yeah,
I would. Wow. Who could you see as Morpheus?
The only other person I'd see is James. Oh, no.
I just thought of someone that could have been
an awesome Morpheus. Who? Guy who played Candyman.
I don't know his name. Oh, shit. Yeah, I think
they could have cast that as somebody else. Yeah,
fair. Yeah. Well, you've just made me doubt my
own answers now. Peace, shit. For Walter White
as a recast, it would probably be the guy that
plays Better Call Saul. No, you know who I could
have seen? The boy who plays Victor Fring? The.
The fixer guy. Not the. The polo chicken. Yeah.
Oh, God damn. He played Sidewinder. We talked
about him last week. I forget his name. But yeah,
he would have been a good Walter White as well.
Yeah, definitely. Yeah. What did I pick? No,
of course, because it was against Gown. That's
the only reason. Just out of spite. Just out
of spite. Yeah. Just out of spite, like you watched
the bear. Yeah, I did. But I'm never going to.
Look, there was only. There was one reason why
I ever watched Lord of the Rings again after
the first time because after the first time I'm
never watching these ever again. And then my
fucking mate Brian used to always make me watch
them because they're like an amazing cinema.
They're not their shit. It's funny. I even prefer
the first movie where most people prefer Return
of the King. I prefer Fellowship. Something about
it. Return of the King is the best one. Not my
opinion. It is. Yeah, well, I mean, Fellowship
of the Ring feels like the beginning of a D &D
campaign. Fellowship of the Ring is just, it's
like getting you prepped for your fucking fortnightly
cardio because all you're going to do is fucking
see people walking for seven hours. And there's
action that happens in different places. They're
getting chased by those fucking, the Witch Kings,
the Wraiths. In Holo Top and fucking in the Shire
and across the Brandywine and then in Brie. The
only Brie I like is cheese. You finished? It
just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
You're a fucking joke. I'll make you feel warm
and fuzzy inside in a minute. Have you got any
shorts for us this week? I do have one short
that came up called Close Your Eyes. I don't
think I like that. It's a horror, isn't it? No.
Why is there – there's never any comedic short
movies, is there? I don't know. I've never seen
any. This one's more of a sci -fi. I've seen
a short today that was absolutely hilarious.
It was this kid, he was like probably seven or
eight, walking over and his parents were trying
to move this couch up a – he's like, Pevet! Pevet!
I'm like, pair that. I put it on my story. I'm
like, yes, yes, yes. Because it was funny and
Friends is the funniest and best sitcom of all
time. Fight me. I don't know. No, no, no. It
looks like you've got something to say. I want
to see it. I want to hear it. I enjoy Friends.
I do not think it's the best. What would you
think if you say fucking Seinfeld? I'm going
to just probably. Not do anything about it. No,
I wouldn't. What would your class better? I probably
watched How I Met Your Mother more. That's just
a copy of Friends, mate. Yeah, a better copy.
I mean, Shabatsky's way better than Jennifer
Aniston's Rachel. I agree. But Ted is more insufferable
than fucking David Schwimmer. Good point. Marshall.
I love Marshall. Man, I mean, Ted is pretty insufferable,
but fuck. David Schwimmer is, Ross is pretty
fucking insufferable. Fucking Chandler Bing.
Marshall's way better than Joey. Marshall is.
Joey's what? Joey isn't. Marshall's Chandler
Bing, bro. Of course. Joey's fucking. Joey's
the sexual predator. Barney Stinson. Barney Stinson.
That guy's awesome. Awesome. No, that is funny
though. Yeah. I'd probably have to. I prefer
that. I have a friend. I like friends, but I've
never sat down and watched the entire thing.
Have you sat down and watched Scrubs? I've watched
some Scrubs. Scrubs is another winner for me.
Would you class Ted Lasso as a sitcom? Probably.
Okay, Ted Lasso. I love Friends, man. That was
my go -to, and that got me through some shit.
But, dude, Ted Lasso, if I had Ted Lasso back
then, that would be the thing that got me through
the shit. Fucking Ted Lasso, man. Everybody should
be watching Ted Lasso. Actually, I talked to
the guys from Rage Whale. I love converting people
to Ted Lasso. So I messaged James on Instagram.
I commented on one of his photos. It was at a
West Ham game. And I'm like, just fuck Nathan
and Rupert Manion. And it was just like he didn't
know what the fuck I was talking about. He was
like, mate, you've got to watch Ted Lasso. He
messaged me the other day. He says, wait, I've
got Apple TV, so I'm going to get on Ted Lasso
tonight. I'm like, yeah. Nice. Fucking love Ted
Lasso, man. I just got a message from the boys
just before from Rage Whale that our episode
will be out on the 13th of this month. Sweet.
They said it's a wild one. Sorry. Sorry, guys.
We do apologise. Yeah. But, dude, that was so
much fun, man. It was fun. I love that. It was
good. I'll have to get a better set up for next
time. Definitely. That's not like we're shooting
with 720p or whatever it was. 420, 480, something
trash. Pretty average. Filling through a bean.
Yeah. All right. So I've got this short to check
out. Yes, sir. This is called Desert Trip. Tesla.
Here's the thing. I didn't have my phone on.
I always leave it in the car because I like to
disconnect while I do my climbs. And eventually,
when everything did kick in, I didn't feel any
pain. I did not. I literally fell from 30 feet
up and somehow walked it off. And you think that's
because of the mushrooms. I don't know what else
it could have been. God, that's bleak, isn't
it? Drain shots? In a short? Big budget. Always
accept. well per se don't share with that bloke
that would have been the best run of his life
see wouldn't have happened he would have been
flying at that point makes over five bucks in
his hand Oh, dog. Dude, there was houses like
50 metres back that way. Yeah. Sorry. The immersion.
He shoved a mountain of mushrooms up his butt
What? Did he throw your headphones away? Yeah
Silly sauce Bag of mushrooms in there Fuck it.
That's a lot. Just been robbed. Concussed. No
water. Worried about his safety. Let's do mushrooms.
Yes. Yeah. Oh, they taste like shit too. That's
what they grow in. I just got no water to wash
it down either. Have a nap for 45 bro and wake
up. And all your problems have been answered.
I could run that far. Marshall versus... She...
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa! What the fuck? I needed
a layout there to be on. Wait! Mushrooms yes
He he you Know us Oh, that's sick Good sound.
Hans Zimmer's going to give him a call. I haven't
seen that. Been five hours, man. Blood's on his
shirt, not on his face. Come here little man.
Mr. Anderson. I've never done mushrooms like
this before. Have some more. Because fuck your
resolution. Interesting. Funny. Yeah, I don't
know. The fuck? Yeah, no resolve to that. I don't
know where the fuck he was going. There was literally
houses in the background. Yeah, and it's not
like he tried to run me out of the desert. He
just stayed in the one spot. Fuck, I'm not going
back on this clearly defined path, back that
direction. I'm going to sit down and do mushrooms
about it. I love these ideas. It's like a mate
of mine was talking in Discord the other day
and he's like, oh, you know, when you come over
to the States, you know, we'll do two days in
Vegas. And me mate Toad's like, it sounds like
an absolutely terrible idea. I'm in. I'm like,
yeah. Yeah. I'm like, Cleggs is trying to corrupt
us. I'm going to Vegas. I'll lose my house. You
know, I went to Vegas and I'd never put a bet
on. Yeah, right. Didn't spin the reels or anything.
What did you do there? Did you see a show? Dude,
that's a thing I'd probably go there to the.
Yeah, we saw the Cirque du Soleil. Oh, yeah.
Fucking wild show. It was cool. Shot guns. Fucking
went to the. You could have done that in any
other state. Vegas, baby. All -you -can -eat
breakfast was fucking wild, man. In the wind.
All -you -can -eat breakfast. Yeah, like, yeah,
they just have an all -you -can -eat breakfast
bar. It's, like, big deal. You pay however much
to get in, and it's fucking, like, fruit as far
as the eye can see, cereals. Yeah, right. Cooked
breakfast, like, roasts for breakfast, and there's,
like, a whole dessert bar for breakfast, breakfast
desserts and shit. Shit. It was. Wild. They did
shit on another level there. Yeah. School shootings.
Indeed. I had a conversation on Instagram the
other day, and it was something along the lines
of it was when Charlie Kirk got murdered the
other week, and there's just all the vitriol
and hatred that was spurned off in the comments,
and there was this one other chick. This one
chick goes, we don't have a gun problem. All
you people have a no -gun problem. And I'm like,
that doesn't even make sense, Dylan. Clearly
you just can't make good decisions. And then
she wrote back, you guys over in the UK have
violence as well as just with knives. And I'm
like, I'm not from the UK. I couldn't understand
why you would want to be hateful. I don't get
it, man. I don't understand why you would have
to just, oh, wish someone was dead just because
they had a different opinion than you. Yeah.
Fucking terrible, terrible times, dude. Yeah.
Just, it's a differing opinion. Like, he wasn't
going out, well, I don't know. He wasn't, no,
but he wasn't out there breaking any rules or
being a criminal or hurting people. He was just
talking and having an opinion. Yeah. The worst
part was, for that part, was. He built a whole
kind of career on rage baiting liberals. Ah,
yes. And it was kind of their fault for thinking
that they could get in front and try and sound
smarter than him. And the worst case is he probably
did get taken down a peg by a few people. Yep.
He wasn't going to post that. Yeah, fair. It
was always going to be the stuff that would generate
likes. Yeah. Well, there was another young kid
that popped up a couple of months back. Was his
name Dean Withers or something? I don't know,
something like that. And he's big in the debate
and scene as well over in the States. And apparently
he was calling out to Charlie trying to get him
to, you know, can we have a conversation? Can
we have a debate? And apparently it was never
reciprocated and they didn't want to do it again
because apparently it happened before and Dean
was quite, I don't know. Well, you can win a
debate because that's the whole point of it,
isn't it? So, yeah. Dean was clearly victorious
in the debate and, yeah, so it was just never
to happen again. But, well, I suppose a different
opinion could also be Judaism and Nazis. It's
going to. And I think the whole left and right
over there is just diverging so far. It's like
they've always got to have a competition with
each other. You know, you've got the civil war,
then they're going to have another one, dude.
That's another movie. Have you ever seen Civil
War with Kirsten Dunst? No. Bro, watch that and
tell me it's not a commentary on what's going
on at the Maven. Scary shit. I can imagine. But,
again, I've got mates that I play with that are
over in the States and they're not seeing anything.
Nothing's changed. That's the thing. When you
drive across the States, there's so many places
that aren't affected. Yeah. Just over here we're
getting all the kind of sensationalised stuff
from the east and the west coast. It's everything
that's generating clicks and at the moment everything
that generates clicks is sadly division, dividing
people. You've got to look to your smaller media
outlets who will kind of show the grittier or
even just the normal side of America to realise
that. You're 100 % right there. You're only getting
the shit that. You know, everything's always
consume, consume, consume, consume. Watch what
we're. Look where we're pointing. Yeah. That's
all it is and they want to direct the story the
way they want to direct it. That's all I've got
for you, mate. That's all I've got too. Dude,
swear. And for another week, thank you for joining
us. Like, comment, subscribe, guys. Tell us we're
morons. Tell us we're cool because I think we're
pretty cool. Love, Peace, Chicken grease. Bye.
