From the dungeons of Morningstar, my name's Stretch.
And I'm Clint, 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, like, comment, subscribe,
do all that fun stuff. Let us know what you're
watching, what you're playing, what music you're
listening to, what books you're reading. I don't
know. Let us know. Review you checked out this
week, buddy. I'm going to start off with Peacemaker.
Yeah, yeah. This show is incredible. The penultimate
episode of season two. It was good. I absolutely
was heartbroken. By the end? Yeah. The fact that.
You know, Oggy, his dad was actually a really
good guy. Wasn't a racist piece of shit. Wasn't
a racist piece of shit. And Fitzgerald. And Fitzgerald,
he slew the shit out of him. Dead set. Just perforated
his neck. So apparently same episode last season,
same time mark. Did the same thing. Did the exact
same thing. It's like exact to the minute of
the episode. It's stupid. Vigilante is the gift
that keeps giving. He is just legendary. The
fact that in that last episode where before they
went to get him, just the emotion that was on
him that his friend had left, you know, his best
mate, and he was just literally heartbroken.
God, he done well, man. Just so much heart. So
I didn't realise we got a version of Vigilante
in the Arrowverse. In the Arrowverse, yeah. It
wasn't this good. Yeah. Was he at least a little
off kilter? No. He was a big speaking man like
this and he'd say, hey, I was a queen. Yeah,
I know that. He was a fucking idiot. Yeah. I
prefer this version. He got smoked. Absolutely.
Well, that guy, his name wasn't Chase. It was...
Fucking hell, like Spartan or something like
that. Anyway, it was stupid. But, yeah, dude,
just this show, man, it's got so much fucking
heart. For something that's just a stupid – when
he screams out and they're all on top of his
brother and I'm like, I choked up and I'm like,
what the shit? Imagine watching that. Yeah. He's
probably still hoping for redemption for his
brother. Yeah. And he's just seen his dad turncoat
for that world and be a good guy and then killed
him. And then, like, at the end he's like, what
the fuck's wrong with this? I'm like, I'm just
death. I'm the problem here. It's all my fault.
It doesn't matter what world it is, I'll always
be a shit cunt. So, yeah, it's going to be interesting
whether we see Chris again at all in this last
episode or not because he closed the door. Chris.
No, sorry, Chris, the brother. Yeah. Or is he
Chris? Peacemaker Chris? Peacemaker's Chris.
What's his brother's name? Keith. Keith. Oh,
fuck. Close enough. But the Argus now has the
doorway. That's right, yeah. So they've just
got to set it up and Keith's got access to the
back rooms. You're going to come. Blasting into
Argus somewhere. He's going to come and fuck
shit up. Interesting. Because he's like, dude,
the thing that really hit home too, like he goes,
I ran into that world's Oggy in the back rooms
one day and he's a fucking racist piece of shit.
Yeah, and you know there's something wrong with
him. Yeah. He's like, dude, that would have been
so good if he could just keep that character
and it could have, you know, later on could have
been like a bit. I don't know. I was just looking
for the wholesome of it all, but vigilante took
it away. He meant well. He really did. He was
trying to protect his bestie. Yeah, even that
world's vigilante kicking the door closed and
pretty much outgunned. Fucking legendary badass.
Yeah. Oh, dude, them paired together was so funny.
What's better than one vigilante? Two vigilantes.
Oh, shit. I like when him and Harcourt are leaving.
He's like, how big is the door that you opened?
Why? I want to know if I can take the peace cycle.
The fucking most ridiculous looking bike ever.
That's so stupid. Peace cycle and it's got rockets
on the front of it for peace. What are you watching?
So Stefan and I started watching that Black Rabbit
on Netflix. Oh, yeah, dude. Jason Sudeikis and
Jude Law. Oh, no, that's not what I'm thinking
of. What is it? Blackbird. Black Rabbit. Oh,
now I'm thinking of Blackbird with the guy who
played Mole Man and Taron Egerton. You haven't
seen Ozark, have you? Negative. Okay. Jason Sudeikis.
Sudeikis? It's not Jason Sudeikis. Oh, fuck it.
No, it's not. Silly Sausage. Jason Bateman. Bateman.
I was thinking, oh, Jason Dekes is doing another
show? Ted Lasso 4? God damn it. I'm fucking horrible
with names, man. It's okay, buddy. That's why
I'm here. I got you. Jason Bateman does an excellent,
serious role. He, yeah. Yeah. I've seen him do
some of that shit, dude. He is great. Yeah. So,
yeah, this show, he's down on his luck. He's
a bit of a fucking drifter. life of the party.
Philanderer. Something like that, yeah. And his
brother, Jude Law, is hardworking, owns this,
the Black Rabbit. We've seen the trailer for
it, yeah. Seems to be doing all the right things
until his brother comes into town. But as things
begin to unravel, you realise that it's not all
as it seems. Maybe Jason Bateman isn't the only
fuck -up in this whole situation. Moving series.
Series, eight episodes. It's a limited series,
only one season. Right. It's good. It's good
so far. Yeah, nice. Fucking keen to keep watching
it. I've also been watching The Bear. Dude, this
show. I am up to season three, episode six. Right.
The facts, man. They're great, aren't they? The
facts. The sweetest bears. So sweet, dude. I
love you. I love you. You're fucking haunting
me? I'm going to haunt you, man. And he's like,
but I love you. I love you. I love you. Funny
man. So good. And the way they call each other
there, you know, like Ronald Jeff. Yeah. And
Sammy Jeff. Yeah. It's like. So heartwarming,
dude, and so loving. Especially in a restaurant
where there's so much yelling and so much anger
and fucking vitriol and to have them always love
you, man. And they're always each other's biggest
fans and always lifting each other up and shit.
It's so good. I do like about the whole show
how it's like there's found family in the kitchen
but then there's the extended family and everyone's
kind of cousins and everybody knows each other.
Hey, Uncle Jimmy, how you doing? Yeah, it's fucking
great. It is a good show, man. Do you see what
I mean about the third season where it's very
kind of introspective, where it's kind of not
necessarily as... driven by narrative as you're
kind of taking deep dives into some characters
and their positions in the world and stuff like
that. I just watched the introduction of T where
she was a data analyst and doing payrolls and
stuff. Lost a job. Lost a job and then how she
met Michael and that's how she got working at
the beef. Yep. So beautiful. So well done. And
just the conversation that she's having with
Michael, absolutely beautiful, dude. Such good
writing. And just the way it kind of reflects
on her in this fancy kitchen and her trying to
find her way in this new role again. Yeah. It's
fucking really cool. Dude, her at the start,
I'm like, you're a fucking old crew, man. I'm
going to kick you in the head. Now, the way she's
like when she. When the sous chef asked her about
becoming her sous and just the look on her face,
like the gratitude and shit, just so heartwarming,
man. I love this show. Love this show. Every
character's got layers and it's slowly peeling
them all back and, yeah. So good. I don't know
why you slept on it so much. Sure. You been watching
anything else? Only one more thing. What? The
thing that we watched. What else have you watched?
I've watched the thing that we watched. That's
it? That's it. It's been a slow week. The beer
takes up a lot of your time. You've got a bit
to catch up on. They're only 25, 30 -minute episodes.
Some of them, unless every now and then you get
like an hour -long episode. Yeah, right. Well,
I think we're going to try to knock over Season
3 tonight. How many episodes are in Season 4?
Is it completed out yet? Yeah, it's completed.
It's the same amount of. Is there a season five?
Not yet. I think they're working on one. They
are working on one. Sweet. Jon Bernthal is fucking
a busy man these days, dude. Holy shit. Well,
even though he's dead, he still shows up every
season all the time. Every season, yep. So I
hope we see more of Semifac. I love seeing, like,
they're portly gentlemen and then. John Cena
comes in and he's the cousin. He's like, oh,
no, he's the brother, sorry. Yeah, he's the brother.
And he's like, that's so good. The odd duck.
But they're all doing shit. Like one's an electrician,
one's a know -it -all, one's a bloody floor polisher.
Nuts. So Matty Matheson, who plays the main fact
that he's in the shop to begin with, have you
started following him on Instagram or anything?
No. You've got to follow him. It's basically
the same character. He plays himself in that
show and it's just him cooking stuff and he can
cook. Yeah, right. That's wholesome as shit.
He's a lead singer of a hardcore band too called
Pigpen and it's good too. It's good? Yeah. It's
like a band made of him and – So he's one of
them pieces of shit that I hate. What do you
mean? Canadian. He can just do fucking everything.
So he's lovely as well. He is lovely. God damn
it. He's super lovely. So he's Canadian. I think
his main, like back in the day, he might have
been in some hardcore bands like local kind of
talent and stuff. And then he got into the whole
cooking thing and made that big with just his
persona. Yeah, right. And like he's got cookbooks,
he's got restaurants, and then he's got his Instagram
and stuff like that. It's just funny and fun
to watch. He's got like a whole food range and
stuff and shit. Really cool. He is dead set,
just a dead set joy in that show. Yeah. Like,
even with all the yelling and that, it's just
so good. He's always a constant positivity. Yeah.
A fucking scene that I lost it at. He actually
goes out and he's a waiter and he's like, you've
got to take it out there, you've got to pour
it in there in front of them. That's it. And
put it on the table. And he walks in. He goes,
this is blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Straight
from Kami's mind. He does. He goes, pour it in
front of him. Thank you. And then walks back
to the kitchen. What? There's an episode, I think
it's in season four. It's not really ruining
anything, but they're trying to coach him on
how to kind of be in the front. He's just, I
don't know what to do. What are you doing with
your hands? Stop doing that. That was in season
three. Stop doing that with your hands. What
do I do? This is stupid. This is stupid. He's
such a joy. Following men, Matty Matheson. I
would dead set watch a show that was just the
facts, like where they go around there just doing
shit, like fixing kitchens and that. Yeah. What's
their company? Matter of Fact. Yeah, Matter of
Fact. The amount of people that show up in this
show, even just for bit parts. Dude. Yeah. Like
John Cena showing up as the third fact brother.
Jamie Lee Curtis. Yeah. What the fuck? Yeah.
And her role is fucking. It's heavy. You want
to slap her. Yeah, fuck her. But you feel bad
for her at the same time. You're like, oh. There's
someone that just rocked up in the later episode
that was absolutely massive. Oh, Josh Hartnett?
Yeah. He shows up. He just showed up out of nowhere.
Like, oh, he's the fucking new boyfriend or whatever.
Yeah. Fiancé. Yeah. Do you know that it took
me until that introduction of T where she got
the job at the beef to correlate that? The Punisher
and Micro are in that scene. Three seasons to
figure that out. The Punisher and Micro were
best friends. Yep. Backrack, what's his name
in the show? Richie. Richie, that's it. It was
there. I couldn't get it. His evolution over
the series, it's like in the beginning, you're
just a fucking loud mouth and then you're like.
Dude, he got so passionate about it. You know
what I mean? The whole training at the other
restaurant. He's so passionate about it. And
you see, like just now, he's sort of losing his
step a bit and he's wondering what his place
is again. And he's been at odds with Kami for
a while and it's been fucking hectic as well.
Yeah. But then what's the sous chef's name? It's
there too. Alex? Anyway, when she went in for
that other job interview and I was like, yeah,
ADK, partnership, that's just for starters. Yeah.
I was like, ooh, good, I don't like you anyway.
See, I think you've come around to her again.
Really? Yeah. I'm sick of this show doing that.
Yeah, it does. You know who's always a constant?
The facts. The facts, yes. I wanted to say Claire
Bear. It's not the sister. What's the sister
called? Oh, dude. Sugar. Sugar. She's a sweetheart.
And then she can just tell them straight as well.
Just fucking into the facts. Yeah, she's like,
hey, lover. Hey, darling. Always talking to her
facts like that. And she's like, when, oh, forget
the brother's name. And he's like, hey, I can
do that for you. And she goes, absolutely fucking
not, sweetie. There's a moment in season four
where one of the facts kind of screws her over
a little bit. I don't believe it. And the heat
that she holds for him doesn't last long, but
just the way he's kind of creeping around her,
you'll get a laugh out of it. Oh, I fucking love
this show. Are we going to talk about this fucking
shit show or what? We are. So for our, not book
club, our weekly movie club. We've got Movie
Club, our weekly movie club. This week I chose
to watch Cloud Atlas. This was a recommendation
on a friend of mine, Tom. You've met Tom before.
We played games together one time. Yep. I don't
think he said it was his favorite, but he said
it was worth a watch. This came out in 2012.
This came out in 2012. It was directed by Tom
Taylors and the Wachowskis. I didn't realise
it was the Wachowskis. Yeah, neither did I until
today. Yeah, until I started watching it. I was
like, oh, okay. Stars Tom Hanks. He's got a big
cast. Halle Berry. Oh, huge cast. Hugh Grant
I was surprised to see in there in a sci -fi
kind of movie. Hugo Weaving, Susan Sarandon and
Jim Broadbent. Mm -hmm. Yeah, some big names.
Yeah, dude. Big names. As souls are born and
reborn, they renew their connections to one another
throughout the ages. Apparently. Yeah, okay.
So this movie kind of, from the onset, you can
tell it was quite ambitious. I had flashes of
Metropolis. Metropolis? No. Yeah, I know what
movie you're talking about. I don't know the
name of it. Metropolis. No, I don't know. Anyway,
dude, flashes of that. I'm like, this makes no
sense. I'm struggling. My brain was melting.
I think if I had a long blink, it would make
sense because then I'm missing out on half of
it at a time. It took a while for me to find
its feet in the narrative. I'm like, we're just
chopping and changing. We've got five different
fucking time periods. Yeah. Running consecutively.
The past, the present, when it came out in 2012.
Yeah. All running consecutively with this cast
born again. Playing very, very different roles.
Throughout the ages. The narrative was brave.
Yeah. They were brave. It's quite questionable,
some of the makeup that they used in the prosthetics
throughout this movie. Well. 2012 was a different
time, wasn't it? Clearly. Yeah. So Tom Hanks,
I think, had the most drastic change throughout.
Absolutely. Flipping literally. Each of his characters.
Doesn't matter how you're painting them up, he's
just Tom Hanks. It's all Tom Hanks. It makes
me wonder whether they could have done this somehow
differently with different actors for different
time periods. I think that would have been even
more confusing, though. Yeah, it probably would
have been. It was so fucking jarring, though,
what they did with these actors, these characters,
man. Oh. It was the Korean eye makeup for me.
Yeah, the fact that they all had Botox and couldn't
move their eyebrows. Yeah. They're like, how
do we make Koreans? I know, put a prosthetic
that just cuts half their face off. Yeah. Yeah,
very questionable. So, yeah. The fact that they've
got people acting as Asian people who are white.
Irish face. But it doesn't end there. Absolutely
not. We get black people with white makeup. Black
people with Korean makeup. Yep. Asian people
with white makeup. White people with black makeup.
Black people with white makeup. Yeah, they did
the whole gamut. Yeah. They're like, let's not
make it a thing. Let's just do it all. Let's
just have the performances. And they did. Oh,
God. Oh, Jesus. Like, it's weird to start a review.
Oh, what the fuck? I'll start with the performances
were great. Yeah. I mean, none of them really
missed. No. I thought they did good. They were
given a lot to do. I think the. My favourite
part of it was the Tom Hanks Irish club owner
-esque character. The author? Yeah. That threw
old mate off the balcony. That was a cracking
character. That was a bold choice. That facial
hair was atrocious. It was. It was extremely
atrocious. But that image of him going. On the
floor? Yeah. Incredible. Good spider. It was
funny as shit. Hugh Grant's character change
-up was just insane. To the cannibal at the end
from the old fella in the - To the Korean fella.
And then later on, the bloke who sends his brother
to the asylum. Oh, my God. Oh, shit. And then
I've got one note here. 38 minutes in, still
no fucking idea. There is a lot to unpack with
this movie. And it's funny that you say that,
38 minutes in, you still had no idea. Neither
did I, really. I was just sitting back and trying
to take it all in. Yeah. I think it was probably
an hour to go. And I thought, okay, this is the
conclusion. Long movie. Long movie. It looks
like it's reaching a crescendo. Turns out that
was just the start of the third act. We still
had an hour to go. Yeah. Yeah, it's a long movie,
two hours and 50 minutes. Yeah, 52 minutes. Just
over two hours and 50. Massive, massive. The
visuals were beautiful, man. Holy Christ, like
the neo soul. Neo soul. So that's the next step
on from the present. We've got two steps on into
the future. There's neo soul. And then we had
the post -apocalyptic Hawaii, I think it was.
Yeah, it was. Yeah, they all, like the facial
tattoos and that looked very cultural and stuff.
And I think having that like primal mixed with
the high tech of the cogs was like, I like that
dude. They weren't cogs. Cogs was what you're
thinking. how you cognition, how you think something.
They were called something starting with P. I
forget what they were called. Precious. Precious
or something like that. Yeah, maybe. So if I
was to pick anything about this entire movie
that I did not like over anything else, it would
be that future can't in the far -flung future.
Tom Hanks with Halle Berry in the post -apocalyptic.
Yeah. It was so jarring. I could see what they
were doing with it. Yep. But, like, the fact
that you had the present in 2012 and then you
step back three generations to when they were,
you know, trading slaves and shit. Yeah. They
were still talking the same English then. Why
didn't they go back to colonial fucking English?
They weren't talking the same English. They were.
No, you hated the language that they were speaking
in the end. In the future? Yeah. That's what
I'm saying. When they went into the past, when
they were trading slaves and shit, why weren't
they talking colonial English? Oh, right. Why
did we get like fucking four generations of basically
the same English? Yeah, right. And then in a
post -apocalyptic, they're talking some future
jargon. Yeah. Why? Why did we get that? Yeah.
I didn't understand that. Like if they had changed
the way everybody had spoken, like if you go
with a Robert Eggers movie, how they got that
very specific twang fucking dialect, why didn't
they do that with the first few generations and
then do that with the last one or just make them
all speak the same throughout the whole thing?
Gotcha. I feel what you're saying. Yeah, that
drove me out the wall. I get you. I need walls
like what was in the Neo Soul. You know the synth
room where all the pedals and that are falling
and then snap of a finger it turns into a massive
TV. Yeah. It's like you're on either. Yeah, that
was pretty sick. Well, again, man, I think the
Neo Soul side of the story was my favourite bit.
Yeah, when it comes to world building, like.
Oh, yes. It looked sensational. Absolutely. Neo
Soul. And even the far -flung future, it looked
pretty fucking cool as well. But, yeah, Neo Soul,
I would. dig a whole TV show, movie, whatever.
Yes, sir. I thought the tattoo designs were cool.
Halle Berry was making some choices. Now the
birthmark, the significance of the birthmark,
right? So when she's getting a collar cut off
and it singes her skin, is that the birthmark?
That's the birthmark, yeah. So for each timeline
there was a protagonist and for each. they had
that mark on them. Right. And they were like,
I don't know if they're meant to be the same
character throughout or whether it's, you know,
Tom Hanks is the same soul throughout, just changed
differently. Right. I don't know. There was a
few laugh out loud moments in this. One of them
was when old mate went to the hospital and the
official diagnosis was a pussy attack. That scene
with the cat when he picks the cat up and starts
scratching. That was fucking funny. I laughed
out loud, man. And Hugo Weaving is an ugly ass
chick. Yeah, Nurse Ratchet. Fucking Ratchet,
all right. No, she's not a ratchet because ratchets
tighten things. One flew over the cookie's nest,
Nurse Ratchet. Did you watch that show on Netflix?
Oh, my. It was called Ratchet. Yes. Yeah. Great
show, dude. Oh, get on that. Never watch it.
Anyway, that's why I keep calling him Nurse Ratched
in that position because he's beaten on the fucking
elderly and shit. Okay, I've never seen one full
ethical. Good, good movie. Is it? Oh, boy. Just
classic. Is it? Yeah, great performances. Yeah,
it's just a tale that fucking stays with you
for a while. Yeah, I don't know. It's just good.
Is it horror? No. No, it's kind of just drama
-ish. Yeah, right. We get to an hour and 15 minutes
and I was still thinking to myself, like, is
this movie just a fever dream or for deja vu?
Deja vu is mentioned throughout it quite a few
times. It's definitely a theme, yeah. I'm so
confused. So you see Susan Sarandon's character
in the last timeline when she does that. kind
of trance and the eye colours change. Yep. I
thought that was a cool scene. Yeah. I'm guessing
that's going back through past lives. So she
can access them, sort of past lives or memories
and shit. Yeah, maybe. So some kind of the theme
this entire movie is déjà vu, interconnectivity
between past lives, how there's always kind of
like that one rebel who changes, alters. Yeah.
things around them. Like you get it in the first
one, it's old mate who is obviously a bit of
a prodigy for music, helps write this symphony
or whatever that ends up showing up in a later
sequence. You have Halle Berry's character in
the second. No, the 70s. She's the reporter.
and she's uncovering the secret about the nuclear
plant. That's right. What's his name? I was going
to say Jackman. It's not that either. Fuck. What's
his name? Hugh Grant. Fuck. I love watching you
have a stroke. Hugh Grant's like in charge of
this fucking factory. So she's obviously kind
of warned people about the whole nuclear scare
there. He's in the 70s. I thought it was 2012.
No, it's the 70s. It's the old fella who is the
producer of, not the producer, the manager for
Tom Hanks' character who throws our mate off
the roof. Right. Then he's in trouble because
they want money and then his brother sends him
to the fucking asylum and it's kind of him finding
his freedom. Yeah. Each character kind of. I
think I'm going to have to watch it again to
see. Sorry. See, I don't think it's mainly about
the main character and how they affect each situation.
I think it's about how each character in that
situation affects the next generation through
those around them. There's a lot in there to
unpack. And, yeah, we get the guy in the first.
So the first one was, oh, mate, that helps the
abolition. Abolitionists. Is that it? Abolitionists?
The whole slave trade shit. Oh, yeah, and he
scurries away with the self -free man. Yeah,
yeah. He helps old mate escape slavery. And then
when he gets back, he hooks up with his missus
and they go to help the whole, that movement.
Yeah, I think each one affects the other one.
And then in the end, the same characters go back
and they're still like, Birds of a feather. They've
always come together. Yeah. Even though, yeah,
just terrible makeup kind of makes it janky as
fuck. Right, there was some choices. Yeah. The
whole lot of it being so intertwined and shit.
Mm -hmm. Like the book being under the leg of
the bed in one story. was the diary of the guy
from another story. It was so convoluted. I mean,
it's the same timeline. It's a different timeline.
It's a different galaxy. It's a different universe,
dimension. What are we doing here? Same timeline.
So fucking. It was like some of the jumps in
the time were so jarring and so hard to keep
track of. So I think in the first generation,
we can call them generations from now on, the
first generation he helps with the slavery thing
and how he helps free somebody. In the second
generation, you've got the gay man in a time
when it's not cool to be gay. And he helps write
this symphony. And then it goes on to the 70s
in the third generation where she hears this
music and it's kind of like a poignant moment
and that kind of influences her and her way that
she uncovers. And she tracks it down to that
record store. Yeah. So she pretty much saves
the future from that nuclear thing, which allows
2012 to go on the present. Right. In the present.
You've got – yeah, I'd have to watch it again.
I don't know how 2012 influences neo -soul. Maybe
it just allows for freedom or something like
that. But then the neo -soul kind of generation
is Solni, the chick who is – Yeah, responsible
for the freedom of everybody and whatnot. Yeah,
she's freed herself. She's basically a slave
as well. And then she comes up and she – It's
basically a revolutionary figure, martyr, that
obviously creates the fall, which is the fall
that influences the fifth generation in the post
-apocalyptic future. And yeah, there's layers
to it, man. So many layers. But see, I think
if it showed it like that, like you did, it'd
be so much easier to understand. Probably it'd
be a bit more enjoyable instead of having it
fucking like it's a... Dead set game of cups,
you know what I'm saying? Yeah, but at the same
time, I think the beats are landing on the similarities
in each story. Right. When certain aspects of
their story are similar is when it kind of crosses
over between the different, because it's not
like it goes across all of them for each kind
of beat. Right. Yeah, it's... I just don't like
how dumb it made me feel. Yeah, don't worry,
buddy. It made me feel dumb as well. I could
watch Hugo Weaving be that demon and Tom Hanks
is a valley man. I could watch that. I reckon
that would be a movie in itself. What would happen
if he picked up, you know, something else other
than a volleyball? What would happen to him?
See, that's what I don't get about that last
generation. He has that fucking Hugo Weaving
demon. It's never explained. Why? Yeah, I don't
know because you know who Solme is. She's just
the chick that existed who kind of preached this
fucking jargon and people followed it. Why is
he the only one that can see this cunt? Yeah.
Is he meant to be based on some other figure,
historical figure? Don't know. And then why does
he just go away? I don't know. Or is it just…
You know, Tom Hanks' character's inner demon
and that's it. It's never really explained. At
all? Yeah. Not much is. No. Sand engineering
was fantastic. Legit fantastic. Like very hints
here and there of Hans Zimmer, which we all know
I'm a fucking, fucking fanboy. At the end, man,
I thought Tom Hanks' face scale looked sick.
It did look sick, yeah. Even when he was getting
on the ship and he had that fucking silver thing
covering his eye, I think I would have really
benefited from seeing this movie, you know, when
it came out. Like I said, man, for the time that
it came out, we're going back like 10 years.
Longer. Dude, the special effects are sick. Yeah,
well, I mean, Neo Soul. So good. It looked really
well. The makeup probably would have looked better
back then. It's aged a bit now. Yeah. And of
the time, it would have been more acceptable.
These days. I wish. I want to go back to them
times. This is where people enjoyed the thing
for enjoying a thing. They're not looking at
it going, oh, that's a political statement. Oh,
this is made to offend people. It was just because
we got one of the greatest, greatest roles in
Robert Downey Jr. Tropic Thunder. Yeah. I'd love
for him to do another one and Robert Downey Jr.
do the exact same fucking thing and just not
care. and then just burn the woke thing to the
ground. I love how many times you see people
say, yeah, man, we didn't invite Robert Downey
Jr. into the cookout. We fuck with that. We don't
care. You know, the people who should or probably
would be offended by it, the amount of people
who have said, no, yeah, it's cool. They're happy
with it. They're fine with it. Dude, that's all
I can say about this movie. I'm sorry. I gave
it my best shot. I watched it three times. How
many stars would you give it? Dude, visually?
Take it all into account. How many stars would
you give it? Three. Three? Three. I'd be happy
with three, yeah. The performances, the visuals,
the sound. Dude, like I said, like I said. I
didn't like how dumb it made me feel. That's
all. It could just be my ignorance, my having
to be, you know, hand -fed all the details and
all the exposition to me to understand stuff.
That could just be me. People could look at this
and go, fuck, it's an opus. But just for me,
no. I'll probably give it a rewatch at some point
if I get time. Yeah. Just to try and nut it out
because, like, I mean, I love the Wachowskis.
Like what they did with Sense8, man, was fucking
phenomenal. I didn't watch it. It's still on
Netflix. Oh, I'm sure if I want to watch it,
I'll get to it. But they didn't finish it, did
they? Yeah, they did. Did they? Yeah, they made
a movie to finish it. And I'll just watch the
movie? No. Dang it. No. It's like six seasons?
Three seasons and a movie. Three seasons? Two
seasons. Oh, no. It's not massive. Is it that
good? Why did it only get two seasons? I can't
ask that because Firefly got one season. Firefly
was the best. But that's all I've got for this
one, mate. If you've got more on it, I'll listen.
That's pretty much me. I've wrapped up for it
as well. Like I said, I wish I'd watched this
at the start of the week so I probably could
have got fit in another episode, another run
through, but I watched it later on in the week
to try and keep it fresh and I shouldn't have
done it. Yeah. Well, I kept it fresh. Like I
said, I was still watching it at the start of
this episode. Man, I still couldn't get it, man.
I can't get it. But, again, could be my ignorance.
Not at all, buddy. That's all I've got for you.
