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, 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, please
like, comment, subscribe, share us around. We'd
like to get out there. Sluts for that. You checked
out this week, buddy. Buddy. Buddy. I watched
a movie that I had no idea about, and I'm glad
I did. And we're going to talk about it in depth
later on. But I watched the first episode of
Welcome to Derry. I checked that out too. That
opening 10 minutes was holy effing Jesus, holy
Christ. I was not prepared. Okay, we're going
to. Go into it. Spoilers, pretty much. You can
skip forward into the chapters at the bottom
because I do that. Genius. So, yeah. Yeah. Spoiler
wave. Holy shit. Do you remember a few months
ago we watched the trailer and I said nobody's
going to survive? Holy shit. Yeah, pretty wild.
That started creeping me out. Like, oh, my daughter's
a little horrible. You can't see her with her
legs shut. She's 12. Fucking Stephen King. I
mean, he didn't write any of this. No, not at
all. Yeah, as soon as the liver came out, I'm
like, I know what's going on here. The what?
The liver. The daughter had the liver in the
thing and she was playing with it. I didn't know
that was liver. Yeah, it said liver written on
there. Yeah, that was when I first noticed. I'm
like, oh, okay, here we go. And then she basically
called Adora a slut. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah,
that's, oh, my skin was crawling. I'm like, oh,
get the fuck out of here. What the hell's going
on? But, yeah, it was, it dragged out a little
bit in the middle. Yeah. It was a bit blah, blah.
And then the last 10 minutes, man, holy shit.
Yeah. Because I was always curious about how
they were going to do this show. Oh, shot beautifully,
dude. It looks great. So good. I thought, is
this going to be like a soft reboot? So we're
just going to get like a mirror of it. Yeah.
And they're going to get together a bunch of
kids who figure it out and whatever. Hell no.
Hell no. Little kid dead. They all dead now.
Dead. Yeah. And I'm like, holy shit. Episode
one. Yeah. Dick. Yeah, didn't see that coming.
Not at all. Not at all. I thought it was good
that we didn't see any Pennywise to begin with.
Fantastic. You saw in the kid that was holding
that demon thing, you just see the chin. The
chin and the bottom lip thing. That's it. But,
dude. Yeah. It's like, hang on a minute. Is that
demon thing, is that Pennywise? The baby. Yeah.
I was expecting to see fucking Pennywise's face
on it. Yeah. No, it's just a little shh. Shit.
But then I can't remember, in the movies, I don't
think they see the, oh, no, that's a lie because
Georgie sees the clown straight away. I was about
to say they don't see the clown until they kind
of figure out something's going on, but no. Yeah.
Yeah, the clown does, yeah. That dude fucking
hell. Holy shit. Start with a bang. Yeah, the
Ed Gein fucking lamp. Oh. Shit. Fucking rolling
out every month. Oh, no. That's creepy as shit.
And his brother's just standing there going,
what did he say? I'm embarrassed to know you
or something. Something like that. But, no, good
start. Good start. Strong start. I'm keen to
keep watching. Yeah, I was like, oh, hang on.
So a little boy's gone missing and now all of
his friends are going to rally. Bullshit. Nah.
Yeah, well, we haven't even got that family who
the dad's the pilot and got attacked in this
episode. His family isn't there yet, but we've
seen in the trailers them, you know, kind of
dealing with moving to Derry and stuff like that.
So, yeah, it's going to be interesting what this
is all going to circle around. Is it going to
be, so we've got the pickle girl left and the
daughter of the movie, the cinema owner. and
I'm assuming the daughter that's going to move
into town. Yeah. Are we going to have parallels
to the IT movies, stories with kids? It's just
not the kids we thought that was going to be.
Yeah. They're going to build the kids up over
time. Yeah. Very Stephen King -esque character
kids, the first two that died. Oh, yeah. Talking
about tits and carrying on with all that shit.
Oh, man. Little perverts. Yeah, you see these
little sprinkles of stuff. Yeah. But it's not
bad. But dude, even that opening scene where
like, not the opening scene, sorry, like the
opening act, let's say act one, where just the
demon flies at the kid and the dummy just comes
flying out of the window and then into the. Yeah.
I'm like, that was cool. Yeah. Floating down
the river. Bit like it. Yeah. On the fucking
boat. No, I thought it was pretty cool. Yeah.
Interested to see what happens with, I looked
up his name because I forgot his name and now
I've forgotten his name again, the black fella
that was in The Shining that taught Danny Torrance
about The Shining. Yeah, it's completely eluded
me. Anyway, he was the one driving the Jeep for
the general. He was too. So it's going to be
interesting to see how much. of a role he plays
in this or whether he's just going to be kind
of there and gone because, you know, he survives
and ends up fucking, yeah. With The Shine. That
was a good movie, Doctor Sleep. Yeah. I loved
it, man. I thought it was so good. I didn't really
fall for The Shining but, dude, Doctor Sleep
was insanely well done. Rebecca Ferguson's. So
hot. So talented. Character was hot and cool.
Yeah. What was her name again? Was it The Hat?
It wasn't The Hat because she wears a hat, but
I can't remember the name of the chick. Pretty
cool character. Yeah, I loved it. I thought it
was really good. Yeah. What have you watched?
Speaking about Rebecca Ferguson, I've watched
a few more episodes of that silo, season one.
It's getting better. Yeah? As it goes along.
All right. The intrigue and stuff. Shit keeps
happening and things keep unravelling. So it's
just one silo, right? Yeah, one silo. So it's
not linked to any others? Okay. No. And how long
have they been underground for? 147 years. Right.
Yeah, long enough for a couple of generations,
people to forget. Oh, yeah, right. Yeah, and
there was at some point within, not 100 % clear
on it, but at some point in their history, I
think it's in the silo. There was a bit of an
uprising and a lot of information was burnt and
so they're kind of like they've got this one
camera that looks outside and, you know, they
can see the stars but they're talking about these
lights in the sky. They don't know what they
are. Yeah, right. And like so punishment for
people is to go clean, to go outside and clean
because once they go outside, they clean the
camera, they die within minutes. Oh, shit. Yeah.
So whatever's out there is bad and there's some
kind of secret going on. If you were sent out
there to clean, would you clean it? Would you
stand there going? There's something in the story
that there's a plot device in the story that
I won't tell you about that kind of explains
why they do clean. Oh. It's kind of the thing
that kind of starts the whole ball rolling of
what's going on. But, like, they're not allowed
to use technology that's past a certain point.
There's, like, relics. People keep digging up
relics and stuff like that, and people want to
figure out what they're about, but they get in
trouble and get sent outside to clean and stuff
like that. Wow, just for finding something? Keeping
it hot and not handing it in, yeah. Yeah, right.
Jesus. How many seasons are out? Two, third one
coming out. I might give that a watch. Yeah,
pretty good so far. The silo is that big. It
takes them days to get from the top to the bottom
because they've got no elevators. They've got
to walk the stairwell in the middle. So when
they talk about going to visit certain like engineerings
at the bottom and there's different levels for
everything, they've got to pack a lunch and take
days to go down there. Days come back. Wow. Yeah.
All right. Yeah, I might give that a watch. Yeah,
it's pretty good. I watched some classics, Starship
Troopers and Stargate. God damn. God, they're
good. Man, I don't think I've seen Stargate,
the movie, since it came out. Starship Troopers
is fucking sick, though. Oh, dude, Starship Troopers
holds up. Yeah. Holds up. Fuck, it holds up.
Well, I mean, it was kind of average to begin
with, some of the special effects. Yeah, no way.
Some of it's really good. But then some of it's
kind of cheesy. Oh, absolutely. Hand up, Jesus.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it kind of looks like a
bit jarring. But, yeah, I think it just all plays
into itself. Yeah, it's sensational. It's a great
movie. Different to the book. I've never read
the book. The whole kind of faux documentary
type thing isn't in the book. It's just a story.
Oh, yeah, right. But I really like what they
did with that movie. I thought it was sick. Was
it Paul Vanhoeven or Paul Vorhoeven or whatever
his name was? I believe so, yeah. Great movie.
What else you got? I watched, so after I told
you that I'd seen Mayor Goth was in a whole heap
of stuff, a particular set of movies called the
X Trilogy. There's three movies in it. Yep. So
I watched the first movie, which is X, which
is the middle movie chronologically. So there's
X, there's Pearl. Pearl is the prequel, and then
there's Maxine, which is the sequel. Would you
just not watch Pearl first, then X? No, watch
X first. But isn't it a prequel? It is, but it
would ruin X if you watched it first. Right.
Because characters in X have things to do with
the first movie. So, yeah, no, you better off
watching X by itself. made it first, brought
it out, decided to make the prequel. I think
that's the way to watch it. Right, okay. So it's
like the 70s and they're shooting a porno and
they've got to go out of town because it's like
when porn first came to VHS where before it was
always in like peep shows and shit like that.
So these guys want to make like the first kind
of decent porn movie. Decent. Like with a storyline
and not just straight fucking. Who watches for
the story? Actually, I'm going to interrupt you
for a second. Me and Rachel, the one time we
watched porn, we downloaded all the fucking comic
book movie porno parodies and fucking watched
them. Jeremy. Fucking hilarious. The Incredible
Hulk having sex with the Black Widow. Green body
paint. What happens when green body paint gets
wet, Jeremy? It goes everywhere. Where does the
paint come from and go on a lady, Jeremy? Can't
be unseen. Hilarious. Continue. Anyway, so. Yeah,
it's fucking, I mean, the opening scene's pretty
cool. It starts off with that aspect ratio, you
know, Die My Love had that aspect ratio that
we watched the other day with Jennifer Lawrence.
Oh, the 4 -8, the square. Yeah, the square. Starts
off with that, and you're like, oh, okay, we're
doing that because it's an older type movie,
whatever. And then the camera starts kind of
moving in, and it's from, you assume, the distance
looking at a farmhouse. And then... It just fucking
holds on it for a while. And then you see a cop
car coming up the drive, the old black and white
style. Then the camera starts moving in. And
then you start to realize that, oh, that's the
barn doors that have framed that ratio. And as
it slides forward, it reveals two other fucking
cop cars. Oh, yeah, right. It's pretty cool.
Some of the cinematography in it is fucking great,
some of the things that they've done. They do
these weird. changes between scenes where it
will flick to the next scene and then back and
then flick and like overlay. I don't know. It's
different. I've never seen it done before. Jesus.
Yeah. So it's got Mia Goth in it. Brittany Snow.
Do you know Brittany Snow? Did you ever watch,
what was that movie? Where they're acapella singers.
Pitch perfect. Yeah. She's the red -headed chick
in that. I've got notes. Yeah, that's one. Oh,
shit. And Jenna Ortega. Is it Jenna? Oh, yeah.
Yeah, Wednesday. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's
a pretty good movie. Pretty violent at times
and quite brutal. Yeah, right. It's a period
show, like the 70s. It's based in the 70s, yeah,
and just like a slasher. Oh, right. Yeah, it's
pretty fucking good. Like it's got the right
amount of cheese about it, you know. You want
slasher movies to have a little bit of cheese.
I didn't know there were slashers. Yeah. Oh,
okay. Slasher movie, yeah. Why? Yeah, just everyone
ends up covered in blood and fucking, yeah. Kid
Cudi. It's Friday night. Kid Cudi plays the main
porno fucking dude in it. Dude. Swinging dick
around and shit. Dude. There was, did you watch
Mr. Beast Games? No. We watched it at our place.
Mm -hmm. And there was an episode where they
were all just standing around and then Mr. Beast
goes, oh, everybody, welcome, Kid Cudi. And he
just lands in a helicopter and he just walks
up. He just stands there. He's like, hey, everyone.
And no one knows who he is. And they're all just
like, hey. And he's like. And then crickets like
in the overlay. And then Jimmy keeps talking
to that. And then you just see, you know, Kid
Cudi's just walking around looking at the fucking
trees like this. And then at the end of it, they're
like, yeah, thank you, Cody. He's like, thanks.
Walks over, gets in a helicopter and goes again.
Fucking hilarious, dude. One of the funniest
things I've ever seen. Yeah, right. Like, I mean,
I think I know one of his songs. I'm going to
send you that clip. It is absolutely hilarious.
And then the last thing I watched was the ballerina
and jackpot. Ballerina and jackpot. Yeah. It
was jackpot. You've never seen Jackpot? I don't
think so. You've never seen Jackpot? Who's in
it? John Cena. No, I haven't seen it. Dude. John
Cena and Awkwafina are in it. Okay. I didn't
even know. Sorry, cut that. You have to. I did
the thing. No, I haven't seen it. It's hilarious,
dude. So Awkwafina is going back to Hollywood.
She's a child actor and she walked away from
Hollywood to go and look after her mum. Her mum
passed away and she said, I'll promise you I'll
go and make it big and do that thing. So she
goes back to Hollywood. She does all these tryouts
and that. And while she's there, she borrows
an item of clothing and… When she puts her hand
in her pocket, pulls out this card, and it reads
a thumbprint and it says, you've been entered
into the jackpot. Okay. The jackpot is if you
survive, I think it's 12 hours. That's a lot
of writing, man. Yeah. So if you survive 12 hours,
you get, I think it's $3 billion is the award.
Jesus. John Cena runs a company that's like,
we will protect you. We will get you to your
jackpot. For 10%. But then there's another company
that does it who is Shang -Chi, and he has another
company that just is another company that's a
bit shady. Okay. And hilarity ensues. So it's
relatively new. Last year. Yeah. Never heard
of it. Hilarity ensues. Okay, cool. It's even
got John Cena getting sued for having a Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtle restaurant. Okay. Interesting.
So we're both up to the last thing that we watched
this week? Yes. Yes. So you chose this one. Fucking
cultural phenomenon. Please let me hydrate. So
we watched The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonsai
Across the Eighth Dimension. Fuck, yeah. It came
out in 1982, I believe, or was it 84? 84. Yeah.
Should have stayed there. Shut your cornhole.
Dude, this movie opened with a fucking bang.
Fucking metal synth coming in at you hot. It
was fucking delight for the ears, eyes and senses.
God damn. Just a fucking technicolor rainbow
of joy and goodness. And then you got the synth
just blaring, squaring your eyeballs. Fucking
perfection. I'm glad you liked it, buddy. Dude,
fucking couldn't get over it. And it had a fucking
scroll, Jeremy. Come on. Fucking Jeff Goldblum,
first fucking scene. Come on. Dude, this cast
was kick -ass from top to bottom, soup to nuts,
dude. You cannot say this was a shit cast. I
mean, it had a good cast. And they killed it.
I don't think they did anything good in there.
John Lithgow was hammed up so bad. John Lithgow
was absolutely fucking incredible, dude. He spoke
fluent French from beginning to start. From start
to finish. Beginning to start. I'm that excited
I'm stumbling on my words. I think Peter Weller
did as good a job acting as he did in Robocop.
Cannot sing. Cannot act. Cannot sing. Look, hot
enough. It didn't look too bad. But you cannot
sing. There's a scene where he sings and, well,
he doesn't. He tries. He attempts. It's terrible.
So the tagline for this is adventurer, surgeon,
rock musician, Buckaroo Bonsai and his band of
men, the Hong Kong. He can do it all, Jeremy.
Take on evil alien invaders from the eighth dimension.
Damn straight. Busts out of a surgery, strained
to a jet car, into the eighth dimension, comes
out, fucking saves the world. 24 hours. Fucking
smashed it, dude. Name another person who's done
that. None. Fucking hell. What a legend. It wasn't
my cup of tea. I'm sorry. Dude. Okay, this is
my notes, all right? I'm just going to fucking
finger blast you with these notes because apparently
you didn't like this movie. But get ready. Are
you ready? Mm -hmm. Fucking synth opener and
the scroll. Let's go. Jeff Goldblum, this movie
is fucking kick -ass already. The Kurgan. Dude,
five minutes in, this could possibly be the greatest
movie of all time. John Lithgow. I can't believe
it's taken me this long to watch this movie.
This style of movie doesn't get made anymore
and it's a shame. Buckaroo Bonsai cannot sing.
Oh, jeez. The alien sets and costumes. I'm fucking
here for Christopher Lloyd. I want to know who
was in charge of that ship's design. It looks
like a hemorrhoid. That father is so irresponsible,
using his kid as a child soldier, brandishing
an AK -47. This movie was everything amazing
about the 80s and 90s. The costumes, the campy
acting, and the fucking synth. Let's go. So,
my notes. Bam! Buckaroo Bonsai! Not very extensive.
What the fuck is the first one? My second was
I thought possum was a hard watch. Somehow this
one's harder. I was hard. Dude. The Coke bill
on this must have been astronomical. Yes. Would
have been cheap though. It was in America. The
fact that they all thought it was funny. Dude,
it was sick. And like the style was very reminiscent
of like Police Academy and Naked Gun and stuff
like that. Oh, man, the fact that it lent on
the surreal and was like, I think they were trying
to go for like the highbrow humour. Didn't stick
it. They fucking nailed it, dude. Dude, that
trippy vibe when they're going through the mountain
and shit. Oh, and the other thing, the end. Buckaroo
Bonzo, he wasn't back. He never went back. Never
returned. They never returned. Never returned.
I want to see a new one. It should be remade.
That should be on the remake panel saying Hollywood.
Jeremy will write the script. I reckon I could
do better. Dude, come on, man. Shit. And like.
How can you say that was shit? Quite earnestly
and honestly. That was such a fucking fun time.
What was your favourite bit? And you can't say
the end. The credits. Did I have a favourite
bit? I don't know if I did. Really? That's your
notes. That's it. That's all you've got to say.
Oh, man. I nearly didn't watch it all. I nearly
turned it off. But for you, I watched the whole
thing, and I wish I didn't. I'm not a fan of
dumb comedies. It wasn't dumb. It was fucking,
it was very, very, very sci -fi. Special effects
were top notch. Costume design was questionable.
The car, any other car would have been better
than an F -250. That's what I mean. Like, it
was obviously the funny part that they've put
it into a fucking pickup truck. Yeah. And, like,
I get what they're doing. They even kept the
jewelies. It's just, no. It was good. Oh, I'm
sorry, dude. But it wasn't. Well, I'm disappointed,
everybody. I'm sorry, mate. I wanted to like
it. I just, it wasn't my fucking thing. That
was my childhood, man. You didn't even watch
it when you were a child. I know, but it was
my style of movie that I loved. Dude, did you
ever watch, oh, fuck, hang on. Did you ever watch
Kung Fury? Hang on, is it Kung Fury? Yeah, and
I didn't like it either. Yeah, Kung Fury. Didn't
like it either. I know what you're talking about.
They're making a sequel, dude. Kung Fury 2. I
love that shit, man. It's fucking so cool. Can
you rate this against other movies? No. No, because
it wasn't really a movie, was it? No. It was
just cheese. Wow. How dare he? Brought it back.
I don't know. It didn't bring you joy? No. Really?
Really. Oh, man. I'm sorry. You're like. It brought
me so much joy. I'm glad for you. Like I rented
it on Amazon and then I'm like, that's probably
one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. I'm
glad I didn't pay for it. And I bought it. I
bought it. $34. It's in the Amazon forever until
they take it away from me because hard copies
are where we should be supporting everybody.
I don't know if you could find a fucking hard
copy of that. Come on, say some nice things about
it. Get fucked. Fucking Jeff Goldblum in the
fucking Cowboys get up. Dude, fucking Red get
up and his chaps and shit. He just rocks up.
And then he kept it on. I love it. Everybody
else had like 11 costume changes. Jeff Goldblum,
Red and chaps. Buckaroo Bonsai. There we go.
Blu -ray. And cheaper than I bought the fucking
digital copy on Amazon. How the fuck you figure
that out? Same thing is, though, I don't have
a Blu -ray player. Don't have a PlayStation?
I've got a PlayStation, but it's a fucking digital
one. Oh. Shame. Shame. Regretting it now. What
would you give it out of five stars, buddy? Three.
Three. That's fucking high, man. That's really
fucking high. Can you give possum three? Possum?
Fucking, where's a can? Throw something at you.
You admitted possum looked good. It was just
the subject was fucked. Dude, it was interesting.
It was. Oh, dude, see, it's doing it now. It's
skinning in you. Oh, fuck. The way that movie
was able to make my skin crawl just by being
there, without words, with a little bit of sound
and with the colour fucking palette that they
chose, the way they framed that imagery made
your skin crawl just from that image. I've never
seen a movie do that to me ever. Just that image
was enough. I'd re -watch Possum before I re
-watched Buckaroo Banzai. That's 100 % serious,
man. I'd give it a one and a half. And I feel
bad for fucking throwing it under the bus, but
there's nothing about it that saved it for me.
I'm going to watch it again. I'll be interested
to see what Tarn says about this, whether he
liked it or not. He should like it because it's
stuff that we used to watch on Nickelodeon. Nickelodeon.
What are you scrolling there? I'm trying to figure
out what we're going to watch next. Oh, yeah,
it's your pick. It is my pick. Dream scenario.
Dream scenario. That's one where everyone starts
having dreams about him. There's actually a real
thing about that. Yeah, right. All right. All
right. That's all for Week in Review. Thank you
for joining us. Thanks for joining us, guys.
Please slap that like button like a screaming
toddler in coals. Love, peace, and chicken grease. See
you Friday.
