From the Dungeons of Morningstar, I'm Stretch.
And I'm Clint, and this is Prevailing Strange.
Welcome back guys to our week in review, a segment
where Clint and I get to go over some of the
content that we've checked out this week. If
you like what we're doing, guys, please like,

it funny enough, hopefully. Fingers crossed.
What have you checked out this week, buddy? Bro.
You've probably checked out more than I have.
I have consumed some content. Mm -hmm. I watched
Grand Tour, of course. This is a rewatch. Anything
Jeremy Clarkson and the two of the fellas in
it. Sensational. And I watched an old one. It
was a… Mars adventure survival movie called Red
Planet. It had Val Kilmer. I do remember, yeah.
Carrie Ann Moss. I believe so, yeah. Peter Sizemore.
Yeah. They go there with algae to plant it. Yeah,
yeah. And there's something eating the algae.
Yeah. I do remember. And there's Astrophage.
That's a good 97, I think. Yeah, Astrophage.
Yes. Where else do we see Astrophage? We hear
about that in Hail Mary. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah,
it was a good watch. I remember how good it was
and, yeah, I enjoyed it. Yeah, nice. The only
thing I've watched besides is one thing. Don't
be a bitch. I told you about this before we started
recording. I know. We've got to ham it up. Yeah,
a couple episodes of Silo. It's compelling enough.
I'm waiting for some, I don't know. There's a
lot of potatoes, not much meat at this point.
Yeah, there's lots of things happening and you're
like, oh, what's that about? What's that about?
But it just seems to be not shallow, but it just
seems to be turning into a sci -fi TV type situation
where it's like, I mean, it looks good. I don't
know. I can tell it was written as a book and
just the way everything's kind of playing out,
but it's almost like somebody's pulled out all
these fucking strings, but it looks good from
afar, but it needs to be more of a mess or something.
I don't know. It's hard to explain. So it's just...
It's compelling enough. The actors in it are
good. I've seen them in other stuff before. The
story is interesting. There's a hook in there.
I want to know what's going on. And it's not
like it's bad. It's just that if I had something
else to watch better at the moment, I'd probably
just push it aside until I had some spare time.
But, yeah, I don't have anything else on at the
moment. I don't know if I want to start that
yet because, like I said, we're so spoiled for
content at the end of this month. Absolutely.
That's ridiculous. But they are releasing a third
season, so it's only two out at the moment. Oh,
right. So it might be worth waiting a little
bit of time until it comes out to binge it all
at once. I do like a good binge. I do. I started
watching The Monster, the Ed Gein story. Right,
yes, with Charlie Hannum. Look, man, it's… It
shot incredibly well. There's no doubt about
it. It looks fantastic. No. It's not – I just
don't – I can't get in. And, like, I've stepped
away from it and haven't finished watching it
and I haven't thought about it at all. See, that's
always a good test, isn't it? Yeah. If you're
kind of like, eh, and then you step away for
a minute and you just never pick it up again.
Yeah. Maybe it wasn't the one. It's not. And
it's not to say that it's bad. Yeah, not to say
it's somebody else's cup of tea. So it could
be the best thing in the world for somebody else.
Not for me, man. Well, it's the most popular
thing on anywhere at the moment. Yeah. His performance
is great. Yeah, right. And the voice he puts
on is fucking unsettling as all shit. Yeah, just
not for me, man. Yeah, okay. Not my cup of tea.
And all you've watched was that, so. And I watched
Iron Claw. Right, yep. With Jeremy, not right
now, not Jeremy Irons, Jeremy. What the fuck
are you talking about? Jeremy Allen White, bro.
Allen White, yeah, there we go. So, yeah, Jeremy
Allen White and Zac Efron. Mm -hmm. Made. It's
a good movie. Yep. It's heavy as shit, dude.
Yeah, it's like second tier to watch list because
I know what it's going to bring. Dude, as a wrestling
fan, I knew about the Von Aarons, Von Aaron,
Von Eric and so on. Right. And so I knew of them.
I didn't know to this extent. about them. But,
yeah, their dad was a dead set cocksucker of
a man and just the tragedy that followed this
family, man, was so insane. And, yeah, all based
on a true story. Yeah. And, oh, mate, the closing
scenes of that movie will haunt me. Yeah. It's
just Zac Efron crying on a lawn watching his
two boys wrestling. And it's like. You've watched
what's happened during this movie and you're
like, this bloke's broken. He's fucking broken.
And then it's wrapped up so nice when the kids
come up to him and they're like, oh, what's up,
Dad? And he goes like, seniors wrestling and
playing, you know. I used to be a brother and
I'm not anymore. And then they're like, oh, we'll
be your brother. And she's like, fuck off. Fuck
off. Zac Efron's making me feel shit. And, yeah,
man, it was just a really, really fucking good
movie. I thoroughly recommend someone go and
watch it because it's not usually something that
I would watch. Like, them biopic movies don't
usually do much for me. I like to escape reality.
So Rachel put it on one night and I'm like, oh,
yeah, right. Fair enough. And, dude, just opening
15 minutes, I was just in. Nice. Great movie.
Speaking about Zac Efron making you feel things,
did you ever watch that fucking something, St.
Cloud? Charlie St. Cloud. Yeah, fuck that movie.
Never seen it. No, don't watch it. Why? Oh, it's
just fucking shit. Makes you cry. God damn it.
Is it shit because it makes you cry or is it
just shit? It's very like if I say Nicholas Sparks
type movies, like Nicholas Sparks writes books,
but they make a lot of movies. I'm pretty sure
Charlie St. Cloud is a Nicholas Sparks. I'm pretty
sure The Notebook. Yeah, exactly. So those type
of fucked up shit. Cry porn. It reminds me of
Ted Lasso when he's retiring and he's crying
and she's flipping herself off to it. Cry porn.
It's hot, babe. If you don't get the feelings
from Ironclaw, you fucking go away. I don't want
to know you. Yeah, right. But that's leading
into the movie I watched last night. I watched
it last time too. Is that the movie you're talking
about? Yes. Okay, so this one was my pick. Wow,
you're taking credit for this one real hard,
aren't you? I've taken credit for every one of
my mistakes. Thank you very much. This wasn't
a mistake, bro. Well, I didn't think so. So we
watched Marrowbone, which came out in 2017. It
was a directorial debut for Sergio G. Sanchez.
Mate. He fucking did a cracking job. Sir, well
done. A young man and his three younger siblings
are plagued by a sinister presence in the sprawling
manner in which they live is the tagline for
the movie and it's fucking way deeper than that,
man. Dude. Honestly, this movie, it opens with
them walking into a house and walking up a staircase.
I was in. That sort of character development.
in that short of a period of time to – now, this
isn't a movie that I would have sought out. It's
not in my – like, I love sci -fi. I love that
sort of shit, comedies, stupid comedies, anything
with cars or bikes. This was not in my wheelhouse
of movies to pick. Bro, this movie blew my mind.
It – oh, mate. Won't get too deep into it, because
I don't want to cry just yet. Dude, I'm, oh,
fuck, dude. I'm stumped for words. It's that
good. Yeah. It's always brilliant. It was on
a few lists on Letterboxd of people I know who
had watched it and rated it highly. I'd heard
good and bad things, and it had come up as well
on an Instagram kind of review or whatever and
got big raps from them. I was like, oh, okay,
so I put it on the list. You know, after looking
at it, it's got a few names in it too, which
I was like, oh, okay, that gives it some weight
in my opinion. It starred George McKay, Anya
Taylor -Joy, Charlie Hannon from Stranger Things.
Yeah. And Mia Goth, who is in a lot of things
that I kind of want to check out at the moment,
and she'll be coming out in. the Frankenstein
movie that's coming up. She's got no eyebrows.
No. It looks so cool, dude. Yeah. I don't think
I could pull it off, but she looks so cool. Yeah,
she's a very interesting character. Dude, she
looks almost, I don't know, evolved, man. I don't
know how, but she just did. She looks absolutely
stunning, but yeah. I was going to say more kind
of like fey. Yes, dude. Like a, strangely enough
to say, an otherworldly kind of weirdness maybe
about her. Yeah. But yeah, to instantly be attached
to this family, so the mum, two older brothers,
a sister and a young boy. Yeah. Oh, dude, I nearly
got choked up. The story with the young boy broke
my heart at the end, dude. Yeah. Right. Now,
it wasn't – oh, fuck. This is one of the hardest
reviews I think we're ever going to do. Yeah,
and it's not like what I was complaining about
the other day. We were both going to say, oh,
you know, yeah, it was good, yeah, it was good,
and there was no contention or anything like
that. There's probably not going to be any contention
with this. But we've got shit to say about it.
Yeah. There's so much shit to say about it. So
the house, so this was shot in Spain. Right.
I was like, where's this country? Oceanside Village,
and the world looked up. It was in Spain, so
it kind of made a bit more sense once I'd known
that while I was watching it. But the house.
Yeah. Beautiful. Beautiful old house. So it was
a 15th century former palace in Spain. Yeah,
right. And all the scenes within, there's no
fake set for inside the house. It's all within
the house, and it's all natural lighting. And
you get 100 % told when you know that when you're
watching it, man. Yeah. Yeah, that's the thing
I, like, what I wrote was beautiful sets, absolutely
beautiful sets, and it wasn't a set, it was just
a house. Yeah. That's great. Yeah. Holy shit,
that's good. I literally just said, like, stunning
style of shooting, like, the way it was shot,
and like you said, natural lighting, the lighting
was sensational. Yeah. The movie was. Dude, I'm
blowing the fuck out of this movie. It deserves
it. Oh, yeah. But, dude, the way it builds suspense
and holds it, like you don't know why they're
covering mirrors. You don't know why they're
doing it, but they're doing it. And that in itself,
they're able to build suspense around that. And
the layers they built in so convincingly. Yeah.
the story that they were sold for. It's like,
yeah, like, I don't want to toot my own horn,
but I can usually see things coming a mile away.
What happens in this movie I did not see coming.
Nope. It fucking rocked me, man. The twist, how
long are we going to blow this movie for? Another
20 minutes. Oh, too easily. The characters in
this movie and... Like I really wanted to not
like the Jack character, but you can't help but
that when it's put into the aspect of what his
mother asked of him and the promise that he has
to keep, you sort of understand a bit more the
responsibilities of a 20 -year -old boy. Yeah.
Boy. In America. Yeah. to have this responsibility
of having this whole household and keeping it
safe and everything running so that all of them
stay together always. Yeah. Just you can, even
if you don't like him, you respect the shit out
of that dude. Oh, yeah. Like he'd done the best
with what he was given. Yeah, I know. That's
for sure. I couldn't, I still can't see that
twist, that turn. But once it happens, everything
just puts a whole other light on the movie as
well. Yeah. There was a shot in the movie towards
the end when it was about to wrap up where it
was that dual timeline, but it was like shot
at the same time but different places, but it
was six months prior. Yeah. I thought that would
confuse me and I think that's where people were
getting confused, but that didn't bother me at
all. I clicked with it straight away and I'm
like, that's a good touch. Like that's explaining
what's happening and what he's about to walk
into. So well done, man. If this was his first
shot at it, well done. Crushed it. I think more
people should be talking about this movie. Absolutely.
I don't think I heard about it when it came out.
I never heard about it. Yeah. Never heard about
it. It was only when people were talking about
it online recently that I kind of. Should come
with a hefty trigger warning. But, dude, this
movie, the movie deserves to be seen. It's that
good. I don't think you can give a trigger warning
without a specific one because you're just going
to ruin it. Yeah. Trigger warning if you're.
Yeah. If you'd rather not just. Anything? Yeah.
It is. Oh, dude, that. Oh, fuck. One of the first
notes I got from the movie was beautiful countryside.
Gorgeous. And then I want a raccoon. I want a
fucking pet raccoon too. That fucking thing.
I had one. Moon landing propaganda. Sure. And,
oh, dude, always a weasel. There's always a fucking
weasel character, isn't there? Yeah. It took
me a second to think this fucker looks fucking
familiar as fuck. And then I'm looking at his
IMDb. Do not recognise one movie he's in. What
the fuck is this guy? Yeah, Andor. Then I saw
it right at the bottom. That's what he's out
of. Yeah. He was a Weasley fucker in that too.
Snake. Snitch. Backstabbing Scallywag. Yeah.
It was funny throughout like the second act.
What do you call it? Act. The second act. How
wholesome some of these scenes were. Oh, bro.
And then just contrasted by like bleak kind of.
Isolation. Yeah, just like when they're playing
their board game and the dice rolls down the
hall and they go, oh, Sam, go get it for us.
And even though they're the older siblings, the
way that everything he says, they listen to.
And it's like, Jack, the ghost's out. And he's
like, didn't question it, doesn't go, you're
a liar, you're a silly sausage, you just go,
it's right, to the fortress. And they go to the
fortress. I envy it, the relationship. And when
that, oh, dude, fucking hell. We might get a
bit spoily from here on in. Sorry about that.
Yeah, it's, what, 10 years ago I came out. Come
on, guys. Eight years ago. Get with the program.
One thing you mentioned about when the kid calls
Jack. It never really struck me at the time as
anything other than, oh, he's just, you know,
an older brother. Yeah. He doesn't answer straight
away. Yeah. And, yeah, he's, you know, coming
to the fore again. Yeah. They're rousing him
from wherever he is. Yeah, it's just looking
back on some of the scenes that you thought,
oh, that was a little weird maybe but didn't
really pick up on it. You go back and think it
and you're like, oh, fuck. Yeah, you connect
little strings to all this. Such a – like you
said, man, such a well -layered – honestly, if
I had a top ten for this year, this is up the
top three, man. This was such a good movie. Yeah.
I can't blow it enough. Oh, dude. Yeah, I watched
it just before bed when I woke up. It was the
first thing I was thinking about. Oh, man. That
hasn't happened to me in a while, man, to wake
up and still think about that movie. Yeah. So
about two -thirds of the way in, I'm like, this
has been nice, like a nice movie. There's some
kind of weird little what's going on in the house
and almost scary kind of moments. And I was like,
okay, I was. prepared to like it a certain amount.
And then that fucking gut punch, I mean, it got
me good. And it was, I didn't like it, what it
was, but I liked that it got me that hard, that
it just. It was a fucking visceral reaction for
me, man. Like I'm like, like my chest just like
compressed in. I'm like, holy fuck. And like.
As good a reveal as The Sixth Sense. Yeah. That
was my thing, The Sixth Sense meets Split. I'm
like, dude. And they're two fucking great movies.
Well, the same dude, mind you. Two sensational
movies to compare it to. That just goes to show
what I think of this fucking movie. Yeah, fucking
well glad I watched it. Yeah. But, yeah, I was
telling you earlier, it was pretty funny. I was
watching it at home. Steph had gone out to the
movies with her friends. She comes home, comes
in, talks to me, and things were starting to
ramp up into the third act. And she's like, oh,
no, that's scary. I'm out. And left me. And,
yeah, five minutes later, I'm fucking bawling
my eyes out by myself on the lounge. Like, I'm
fucking glad she went to bed. Yeah. When that
little cocksucker's walking up the stairs and
he's smashing that brick wall, I just wanted
to cave his head in even more. Yeah. It's not
even your fucking house, mate. Get out. 100%.
You little fucking snake. Get out of here. But
he got the ending he deserved. Fuck yeah, dude.
I laughed so hard. I'll be like, don't put pressure
on her. Finger the hole. But when she rolls back
that blanket, dude. Fuck. Yeah, I was wondering,
like, what goes on here? Like, is the dad alive?
They're all saying he's alive. But then if he's
alive, what's the stain on the floor? Man, it
was right there in front of me, and I just never
put the two and two together. Never seen it.
And then you see him in there locked, and you
hear him coming across the roof, the dad, and
then, oh, you think, you know, Billy's going
to fucking flog him. He's the one that kills
him. Yeah. And in the end, Billy's like, let
me out. He's the one that fucking shoots his
dad for good in the end. Fuck. It was very cool
at the beginning when they're exploring the property
and this new place they're at and they first
run into Anya Taylor -Joy and that was kind of
ethereal too, her voice talking with a British
accent even though she's supposed to be American
through the skull rock and that. That was pretty
cool. But, yeah, I wrote down here, like, I'd
seen Mia Goffin is in a lot of stuff. And a lot
of stuff I want to check out. I'm just having
trouble finding. So there was like a trilogy
of movies. One was called X. One was called Maxine.
And one was called, I can't remember. Anyway,
they're based on Pearl. I've never heard of any
of these movies. Yeah, all kind of horror movies,
slasher movies. And it's like a trilogy. I don't
know if she plays the same character or not because.
Yeah, I don't know. They grew up together for
whatever reason. Maybe it's the same director
and everything. But, yeah, it's supposed to be
pretty good. Anyway, seeing her acting in this,
I'm like, she's got something. She was good in
this. She was, like, just lovely the whole way
through. Oh, dude, I'm fucking speechless. This
movie really got me. It's something special.
Yeah, definitely. I thoroughly recommend everybody
should check this movie out. What would you give
it out of five? It's five stars, dude. This is
five. I'm four and a half leaning towards five.
It was just out of nowhere. I wasn't expecting
it. I thought, oh, fuck, Jeremy picked it. But
this makes up for every movie you've ever picked.
Thanks, buddy. This was wow. I don't think I
can beat this. Just the ending, man, the way
it ended where she's like, I'll go so they can
come back. Fuck off. Fuck off. Fuck off. Yeah,
when she's talking to the doctor and, you know,
and then she just puts the drugs in the cupboard
and leaves it. Yeah. Fuck off. 100%. So. What
did you choose for next week? I'm not telling
you. You've got to tell me. Can I tell you later?
Why? Because I need to think. You don't know.
We're going to do a buckaroo bonsai. All right.
Across the earth dimension. Sounds good. Let's
go. Watch it, guys. See if you agree with our
things for next week. So, yeah, buckaroo bonsai.
We're going to do it. That's an old one. But
it's. Cultural phenomenon. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It
doesn't get much more pop culture than group
buckaroo. Well, thanks for joining us, guys. Please,
guys, go in and check out Marrowbone. It's so
good. And if it's not, fucking tell us. Love,
peace, and chicken grease. See you Friday.
