From the dungeons of Morningstar, my name's Stretch.
And I'm Clint, and this is Prevailing Strange.
G'day guys, and welcome to Pop Culture News with
Prevailing Strange, where we get to talk about
some of the things that have crossed our feeds
this week. We also get to check out some of the
latest trailers. If you like what we're doing
here guys, please like, comment, subscribe, share
us around. We'd like to get out there. Sluts
for that. Keep that one in. Probably. All right.
What news have you got for us this week, buddy?
Well, did you see that Disney has used a fan
-made Avengers Secret Wars poster featuring Miles
Morales and the Beyonder in an event in Sao Paulo?
No. Yes, sir. All right. Okay. So I don't know
what Dez means, but they say it means December.
Interesting. Okay. Miles Morales wouldn't be
able to use it. Sony, they haven't made that.
Oh, no. For team -ups, yeah. Yeah. Fuck knows.
Exactly. My first piece of news. Did you see
there's a Scrubs revival? I did. Yes, and it's
coming out the 25th of February 26th. I am excited
for it. I hope it reignites the spark, but season
nine was a bit of a letdown. Yeah, okay. Did
you ever watch season nine? I never watched it
religiously, so I only saw bits and pieces. Oh,
dear. Scrubbers is a jam. Yeah, season nine they
went to university and they were all teachers
and professors and that. Okay. It wasn't cool.
Paramount Pictures has stated that it plans to
keep James Gunn and Peter Safran on if the merger
takes place. Okay. Which is good news because
I don't want this shit to restart again. Good
news. So there's a movie coming out, which I've
only just kind of heard about secondhand, called
Flowervale Street with Anne Hathaway and Ewan
McGregor. And it's set in the suburbs and there's
fucking dinosaurs in it. Yeah. I'm always for
dinosaurs, bro. Yeah. So written and directed
by the guy that did It Follows, if you've ever
seen that. Haven't seen that. Good movie. So,
yeah, kind of interesting. Nobody really knows
what it's about. Just there's fucking dinosaurs
in suburbia. Let's go. Always for that. Hopefully
they do a good job. Apparently this is being
confirmed by a comic. Josh Brolin's Cable will
return for a doomsday as part of the X -Men universe.
Donging a classic book. Okay. I would like to
see that, but I'd take that with a grain of salt.
It'll only be as a cameo, and he won't be in
a battle of the X -Men versus the Avengers. Right.
Yeah. Okay. Chainsaw Man, Res -A -Ark movie.
It debuted in the US with a 97 % on Rotten Tomatoes.
It's currently sitting at 97%. And it's grossing
worldwide $113 million. Holy shit. Off a $4 .1
million budget. Holy shit. Yeah. It's kind of
pretty crazy at the moment. That's an anime,
isn't it? Yeah. So we've had one season a couple
of years ago. We're going to see the resurgence
of anime come into bloody theatre. And so. That's
insane. Yeah. This movie kind of takes place
around an arc that obviously wasn't enough for
a whole season. Yeah. So they just made a movie
on it. Yeah. Dude, that's sick. Killed it. Unreal.
The Insider Live Warrior confirms that Avengers
Secret Wars will see Andrew Garfield's Spider
-Man meet his end with an alternate version of
Spider -Gwen paid by Emma Stone. Oh, man. I don't
believe all this shit, but holy crap, it'd be
good if it happened. It would be. There's a lot
of names, a lot of big names to be throwing at
this. That's a lot of money to throw around.
Even for a cameo, you'd be paying like, well,
that Andrew Garfield man is... Big money these
days. He's actually done some kick -ass work.
Yeah, definitely. Continuing on with the anime
movie news, so like I said, Chainsaw Man's done
$113 million worldwide and it's only kind of
been a week and a half, maybe two weeks. Demon
Slayer has grossed over $667 million in the time
it's been out off a $20 million budget, which
is pretty massive. Holy fuck, dude. Yeah. I'm
yet to see Chainsaw Man, but fucking Infinity
Castle was sick. That was like 2010 blockbuster
movie weekends. Holy shit. Yeah, not bad. Well
done, kids. Well done. Alexandra Daddario stated
in an interview the other day that she would
love to play in James Gunn's Playbox. She said
it would be an absolute bless to work with James
Gunn and she wants to be Wonder Woman. All right,
okay. Dude, she can act. She can act. She can
act. She can act. She can. Can act. Yeah, indeed.
Act really. She can act. She did really well
in True Detective. Yeah, totally great. Totally
great. I'll give her a standing ovation. Five
stars. More anime news because that's basically
all I've got this week. Okay. So the composer
of Cruel Angel Thesis. Yeah, okay. I've got none
of that. I'm 0 for 3. The intro for Evangelion,
Neon Genesis, celebrated its 30 -year anniversary.
And she has come out and apologised that she's
never actually watched the anime herself. Has
she done the music for it? Yeah, even though
it's one of the most kind of popular anime intros
ever. How do you do music for a show you don't
watch? It's only the intro song. Oh, okay. She
just made the song. Oh, okay. Damn. That's shit.
One of the catchiest tunes, man. Sing it. No.
I can't sing Japanese. Oh, okay. Taylor Sheridan
and Peter Berg are developing the live -action
Call of Duty movie for Paramount and Activision.
Why? That was going to be a piece of my news.
Why? Yeah. Why? I mean, I've played Call of Duty
only ever online. I don't know. Is there a continuous
storyline throughout all the games? There is.
The Call of Duty is pretty – it's got one of
the biggest – in video game history in it. It
does have a good story and it's got some great
characters in it, but you're doing, it's going
to run into the halo effect of it all. The best
characters have to be, they've already been done,
so you're just watching it there as well. I don't
know how you're going to differ from it, but
Halo went around and they were like, oh, we're
going to take the helmet off. We're going to
give him a backstory. No good. No good. If that
wasn't caught halo, I would have liked it. He
should have just kept the helmet on and should
have just been supporting characters around to
carry the story. Yeah. Agreed. I mean, they did
it with fucking Mandalorian. They took his helmet
off once. They did. Oh, God damn. See, this is
the thing. Why hire? A big name. Well, he wasn't
really a big name when it started, was he? No,
no. Yeah, so he only done sort of Game of Thrones
and shit like that. Yeah, only small parts, yeah.
Go, sir. My last anime news. So One Piece is
moving away from its release format at the moment.
So for the past 25 years, they've basically released
weekly, except for a hiatus in the last couple
of years. Say what? Yeah. There's over 1 ,000
episodes. They basically have released weekly,
like except for holiday breaks and I think there's
a two -year hiatus. How can you do that? Yeah,
there's just that much fucking source material.
But they're pretty much changing it up to a seasonal
release now, 25 to 26 episodes. They want to
focus more on the source material and less of
the filler kind of stuff. and be able to give
their animators three months off a year. Fucking
right. Work to the bone indeed. Tom Felton leads
a genetic revolution in the trailer for sci -fi
action film Altered. I haven't seen much of him
since Harry Potter. I only saw him in The Flash.
Well, yes, that's right. That was the last time
I've seen him. But I love seeing his little pop
-ups and shit. He just invades Harry Potter fans'
photos and stuff. He will be directed by Timo
Voronsolo, which is a cool -ass name, but I've
never seen anything he does. No. Speaking of
invading stuff from fandoms and stuff, did you
see that… Eno invader. Did you see that… Frodo
invaded that wedding over in New Zealand. Such
a douchebag. Great, great. You'd be so happy
if you were getting married. Why? And Frodo turned
up. It'd be sick. Yeah, righto. You're just a
hater. And my last piece of news is that Sinners
is returning to IMAX again. Shit. For another
run. It's going to make more money. Yeah, probably.
It's going to. Is that all your news? That's
all my news. That's all my news. We've got a
few trailers to check out. Level 33. Why does
that number follow me everywhere I go? Back to
the start. Oh, Jesus. Back to the start. Just
makes it easier for me to time it. Oh, okay.
Number follows me everywhere, dude. I know what
you're thinking. Freak. Geek. Nerd. We've heard
it all. We're cosplayers. A couple times every
year, we make our pilgrimage to the cons. Welcome
to the regional qualifier for the national competition.
The federal government has declared a state of
martial law and has warned all citizens to stay
indoors. As the now confirmed outbreak begins
to spread outside the border of Los Angeles.
Great, so the whole city is zombies? What are
you guys doing in your costumes? We're about
to go cross this godforsaken city. Why? And we're
going to fight whatever should be out there.
Now that the world is on fire, let there be no
doubt. There is a point. All of those free of
this curse to join us. Volume 1. Let's fucking
go. Why don't you stick around? We'd love to
have you for dinner. Classic dead joke. Volume
one. We're spoiled. Dude, I love that shit. That
is so good. I'm going to watch that. Oh, another
one. Being 21? Take one of your campaigns. You
don't get to write the ending. Not this time.
He's planning to end our world. And he's not
going to stop until we're drained of every last
ounce of suffering. Fucking special effects,
dude. You spent the money. Now, there's always
these massive, epic TV shows that are around,
right, and they usually drop the ball. Could
this be the fucking one of the first ones? Oh,
no. Sons did it. I reckon they nailed that. It
fell off at the end. Yeah, but the finale was
a good one. How they tied it all up and shit.
Yeah. Scream 7. I can't believe we're staying
at the psycho killer B &B. Oh, that's so cool.
It's a motion detector. I just love how Ghostface
always eats shit. Always. Yeah, that would have
hurt. That would have killed him too. Cheese
and rice. i want to be a fighter like you if
you hurt her i'm not going to hurt her until
you're here to see it let's unmask this fucker
all your friends died He's trying to find another
way in. We're gonna do this together. You're
gonna have to shoot him through the wall. Where?
To the right of the door. Shoot him now! Do it
now! Oh, you got him. Double tap. Double tap.
Double tap. Triple tap. Just hang on. America,
they have very loose gun laws. Seven movies of
this bitch getting fucking hunted. She does have
a safe room. She doesn't have a panic room. She
doesn't have just a fucking. Like an arsenal
of weaponry? She doesn't have trap doors? Electric
fences? Lock on a door? That's the thing about
Scream, man. It's never taken itself seriously.
That's what I liked about them in the beginning.
Oh, damn. I don't think I've seen the last few
installments, but I think five might have been
the last one I watched. Is that Oddbots? Yeah.
I'm looking at the camera and you can't actually
see it. Is that odd, Bods? That's fucking shit
odd. All right, all right, all right. I'll stop
fucking picking on Scream. Dead man's wire. This
is on air? No, but it's being recorded. Talk
to me. I'm not a rich man. I'm a poor man. And
that never bothered me. But these people betrayed
me. These people who are in common folk, give
them a taste of the American dream and then spit
them right out. I hear you, Tony. I'm a man that's
fighting for everything that he owns, sir. And
I'm not going to be intimidated or humiliated
by anyone. I want a written agreement. I want
my debt forgiven. I want an apology. And I want
to walk out of here a free man. Hmm. He's right
there. The Joker. Yeah. I could see it. He's
right there. Could you put him up as the Joker
after he's done Pennywise? Yeah. Different clowns,
man. Oh, God. And now we got Wildcat. The last
one, Wildcat. Goodbye. Your little girl is coming
with me, Ada. 6 a .m. tomorrow, bring half a
million in cash. You really don't want to be
late. Why Charlotte? They know what you are.
They've taken Charlotte. We're gonna fix it.
Brought some backup. Curtis. You've all heard
about this war between Mahoney and Mrs. Vine.
Two biggest gangsters in London fighting for
the number one spot. All you need is a spark
and there'll be fireworks. So if we take down
Vine's jewelry store and make it look like it
was Mahoney... They'll be busy fighting a war.
Not looking for us. So which one of you Bellins
is going to explain to me what is going on here?
There's a lot going on in London tonight. That
looks fun as shit. That was cool. Yeah, looks
fun. I love British games. Oh, there's that Tom
Fulmer movie. Look at that. There you go. Is
it real? Click on it. Let's watch it. You want
me to watch it? What is this? I think I got an
idea. Superman landing. Hell yeah! Okay, so we
messed up. But the world didn't end. We rebuilt
it. Better. For some. The genetics. genetically
improved humans that live like kings. Then there's
the specials. Although there's nothing special
about us. Proposition 42. Enables genetic enhancements
for everyone. Fix my suit. I'll take a triple.
Deal. Triple fee. We don't go to the genetic
district. Trust me. It'll be in. Out. Out. Boom.
Today's attack by the extremist anti -genetic
squad is the bloodiest so far. They're trying
to frame the specialist. Well, we gotta do something
then. Let her go! He's the one behind all of
this. We've cracked the enigma of human evolution.
Question is, what are we going to do about it?
We're going to fight. Bring it. They want you
to think that you're useless, worthless. It's
not true. It's evolution and you can't stop it.
You know, I'd seen that thumbnail for that trailer
a few times and thought it was fucking AI -generated
shit and never bothered looking at it. It is.
That's top tier. Whoa, hey. Calm down. Mercy.
Well, that's all of our pop culture news this
week. Like, comment, subscribe, share us around.
Love, peace, and chicken grease. See you Wednesday. End
