Cheers. What news have you got for me this week,
buddy? Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie coming together
again to make a sequel to Layer Cake. Really?
Did you ever watch Layer Cake? I did. I watched
it when it came out. I remember it being good.
Yeah. Jason Statham wasn't in it, was he? He
was in Snatch and Lock, Stock, Two Smoking Barrels.
Wasn't he in Low Cake? I don't think so. Yeah,
Daniel Craig, Sienna Miller. Yeah, that's her.
Tom Hardy was in it. Yes. Michael Gamdon, who
was in. Gambon. Gambon. Yep. He was in. Harry
Potter. Yep. Ben Wilshaw, Winshaw, Jamie Foreman,
Sally Hawkins. Oh, wow. Racist. They don't have
a black guy at the front. George Harris. He was
good. Yeah, he played a really good role. But,
dude, Layer Cake was great. Really, really good
movie, dude. Yeah. And I think it was one of
his first ones that he'd done. And it was so
good. I enjoyed it. So I'm glad there's a sequel.
Hell, yeah. Even though the spoiler, it's been
out for 12, 15 years. Shut up. Daniel Craig died
at the end anyway, so. Well, maybe that's why
he's not in the next one. He couldn't be in the
sequel, yeah. One of my first pieces of news
I remember was Begonia. Yeah, we watched a trailer
here. Yeah, with Jesse Pinkman. Pinkman? No,
what's his name? Kirsten Dunst's boyfriend. Yep.
Is that his name? Jesse Pinkman? No. Fuck. No,
no, no. Fuck, you're telling the story, bro.
This is your news, not mine. Anyway, so it opened
up to 4 .8 million worldwide, and it's currently
sitting at about 7 million worldwide in the box
office, even though it cost 4 .45 million to
produce. But it's getting raps, man, and it's
just. Not doing well. That's the thing with these
art style movies, you need to keep the budget
down. Yeah. Because you're not going to make
all, even, well, back in the day you would because
you had home theatre, you know, video hire and
VHS hire, DVD hire, all that sort of shit. Yeah.
You bargained bins at Big W and Woolworths, man.
Yeah. So they were always going to make money
even after their initial theatrical release.
Now, nope. So apparently the movie pretty much
takes place in a basement. The entire time. So
how did it cost so much to make? Probably the
people that are starring in it, most likely.
See, that's why you do the Saw routine. Saw had
one big -name actor in it. It had no big -name
actors in it. It did, man. It had Robin Hood,
Men in Tights, motherfucker, Cary Elwes. Jesus.
In Twister. It did, too, yeah. Come on, now.
But, yeah, like, in one room, low budget. All
that sort of stuff. I suppose the dinginess of
it made it. But I think, as far as I can remember,
the Saw movie was started by two mates that were
in university together, weren't they? I believe
so, yeah. Something like that. Anyway, great
movie, low budget. That's the way you've got
to keep it. What was Clerks? Like $57 ,000 or
something it cost you to make Clerks. Yeah, he
made it after his shift, not at nights. Yeah,
in the place he worked. Yeah. You've got to do
shit like that if you want to make it work. But.
Like you said, like he still talks about Clerks
now. Yeah. So he's still talking about it 30,
40 years later. Oh, well. I like other movies
better than Clerks. More Rats. Dogmas to Tits.
Dogmas is great. More Rats is my favourite. More
Rats was so good, yeah. Yeah, but. I've seen
Begonia getting their fucking – their raps on
social media and shit. Oh, yeah. Like it's a
lot of places. Contender, they reckon, for Emma
Stone performance and stuff. It's getting talked
about everywhere. You can't go past everybody.
Oh, Begonia being this. Begonia being amazing.
Begonia. So, yeah, I'll be watching it. It looked
great on the trailer. It looked really good on
the trailer. So, yeah. In the Star Wars universe.
Maul, Shadow Lord, is coming to the Star Wars
animated series universe. Very good. Hell yeah,
dude. So apparently he's coming to Disney Plus
with Sam Witwer returning as Darth Maul in a
dark new story about the rise to power and thirst
for revenge across the galaxy. This is the story
I've wanted. Did you ever read that? Yeah, it
was a great run. Oh, my God. Incredible. Yep.
Fantastic. A mate of mine told me about it and
I'm like. Instantly I had to read it. So I went
and, well, I didn't read it. I downloaded it
on my phone from Comixology maybe. Anyway. But,
yeah, pumped for that. Pumped for that. Brendan
Fraser and Rachel Weiss are returning for The
Mummy 4. I'll delete that. Yes. Hell yes. I love
those movies. They're great. I love their movies,
dude. And I'm just glad to see Brendan Fraser
working again. Yeah. Such a gentleman. We spoke
about The Chronicles of Narnia before. Go and
watch it on Netflix. Something you might be interested
in. Rumours are hinting at a $100 million third
-person action epic in the works funded by the
Abu Dhabi Investment Office and backed by Embracer.
Aiming at Hogwarts legacy level, this massive
adventure in Middle Earth. Could be what fans
have been dreaming of as they return back to
Mordor. Hell yeah. So it's going to be a massive
Lord of the Rings open world game, which I think
no one will buy. Fuck off. You won't buy it.
They won't legally download it. Well, they buy
it just to burn it. On more mummy news, not the
same mummy, the Universal and Blumhouse reboot
has finally got a new name. It's not going to
be called The Mummy. It'll be called The Resurrected.
I want more of them universal monsters, dude.
Just come on. Yeah. So apparently it's about,
and I've lost many fucking things, so I'm just
going off the top of my dome. His daughter returns
after eight years of being missing, and he discovers
that she's possessed by an ancient evil spirit,
and when it starts spreading to his other kids,
it looks like he will take on that burden. So
we might get. Somebody at the end that might
build into a universe. Seems like someone that
might have two personalities maybe. Might have
to hide from people. Anyway, RDJ will be playing
both Iron Man and Doctor Who. Bullshit. Iron
Man's dead. Yeah, I don't think they'll ever
resurrect that again. Yeah. On more Doomsday
stuff, apparently rumors take with a grain of
salt, people. That the X -Men arc in the Doomsday
movie will not be centric around Wolverine. Good.
It will be centric around the Summers family
and Cyclops as the main. As it should. So maybe
no. Hugh in this one. No Hugh in this one. Yeah,
maybe it's about time that Cyclops gets a better
kind of. He does, man. He really. And it doesn't
even need to be. Our Cyclops. Give it to a new
person. Recast. But Marsden done such a good
job with nothing. Like, he wasn't given anything.
I mean, he didn't have a big role. No, not at
all. He seemed a bit bitchy in it, though. Yeah,
catty. He's like, oh, gee, don't do this. But,
yeah. But, I mean, Cyclops has had some good
arcs in the comic. Oh, fuck yes, dude. Oh, yeah.
I think he's really been let down in the movies.
Yeah, give it to – you know who could be good
Cyclops? The guy who played – oh, shit. What
was his name? You're telling the story, buddy.
He played Colossus in X -Men 2. Little younger
fella. He wouldn't be young now, would he? No.
I keep thinking that that was like five years
ago, ten years ago. No, it was 20. Longer. Speaking
of which, Avengers Doomsday will probably be
Patrick Stewart's final acting role, which is
sad. But you can see why. He's been and done
the thing. Oh, yeah. Yeah. May as well, you know,
bow out now. Tone it high. Like, Channing Tatum's
been out saying this is going to be the movie
of the decade. Simu Lee has said some pretty
cool stuff about it too. I suppose they have
to. Yeah. You're not going to come out when it's
not even out and go, fuck, that looks shit from
where I was, guys. Save your money. Yeah, yeah.
So apparently more Doomsday stuff. They've got
multiple versions of the trailer. They're just
deciding which one to release, and it will reportedly
show before Avatar, Fire, and Ash. I was going
to say that, yeah. More Doomsday news. It will
reportedly have three Earths colliding together,
and that's how we will get our battle world.
Right. The remainder of the three realities.
Yeah, and then that's how they'll reboot and
have the one reality coming forward. GTA 6 has
been pushed back again until November of 2026.
Oh, Jesus. It just keeps happening. What are
they? Oh, God, I don't even want to know what
they're putting in this game. Yeah. Apparently
you can enter shopping centres, schools. America's
going to have a full day. While Fan Expo recently.
Horror legend John Carpenter confirmed that he
is currently working on a sequel for his classic
82 movie, The Thing. I love that movie. I think
it's about time I re -watched it because I haven't
watched it for a long time. Great movie. And
the recent remake. When I say recent, it was
about 10 years ago. The recent remake with that
Aussie fella in it. I didn't watch it. Dude,
good. So I heard it's less of a remake and more
of a sequel in that the way they... bookmark
each other. I don't know. I remember reading
about it when it first came out. Very, very,
yeah. But it could have been either, either either.
So apparently Predator Badlands has smashed the
franchise budget record for all the Predator
movies at $106 million to produce. That doesn't
seem like much for what it looks like. Guys,
come on. Smart. Dude, that's so smart. Absolutely
bullshit smart. So the predator was 88 million,
prey was 65, and killer of killers was 50, and
that was kind of - Holy shit. From what I've
been hearing about predators, the fact that it's
PG is if they replaced the yutja with humans
getting slaughtered, it would be an R rating.
So that's what it was because they're aliens.
They're just not humans dying, yeah. Okay. That
makes you laugh when you consider things like
South Park's are. Yeah. Shit. Set photos and
videos of Supergirl and Lobo look very good.
We're like seven months away from the release.
for videos of Supergirl fighting on top of a
ship, Lobo fighting in the street, and it looks
pretty damn funny. Yeah. I'm keen. So apparently
Marvel Comics is moving into its next era with
the introduction of a new weapon that will be
stronger than the Infinity Gauntlet, the Origin
Boxes. Powerful artifacts that will. How many
of these origin boxes are there? I don't know
whether there's three of them or not. Is there
maybe three boxes that were maybe where Earth
comes from, the world comes from, some one of
a mother? Yeah, who knows. Origin boxes, yes,
that will produce a new set or a new slew of
heroes in the 616 universe. Be able to open.
Portals to different realms, perhaps? We will
see. Just saying. It's a bit close, isn't it?
It's a bit close. Could have been origin orbs.
Could have been origin octagons. Could have had
origin pentagrams. Prisons. No. They were in
boxes. We're in boxes, guys. What do you mean?
I've never even watched a DC film or read a book.
Anyway, Gremlins 3, everybody. Let's go. Christopher
Columbus is set to direct the sequel and will
release November 19, 2027. There you go. Let's
go. Do not make it digital. Don't make them digital.
Make puppets. Give us puppets. But that's my
news, my good friend. And that is my news wrapped
as well. Fuck, that was really nice. I should
not take notes more often. No, not at all. You
did great, Muddy. You did really good. There
was more that I had forgotten and too bad. Sorry.
Okay, first trailer. First one is Arco. I thought
that was sweet. Didn't even check the sound,
by the way. You think that next time I can go
along? No flying before the age of 12. It's the
law. That must be warning that this was an anime.
It's not anime. It's animated. Would you not
class that as anime? Huh, okay. Anime is anything
that has arrived from manga. Why, thank you.
Have you seen anything strange in the woods?
I just saw a rainbow. What's it like? No one
should know the future. Ever. Ooh, that's a big
call. There was a diamond on my shoe. I can't
go home without it. You're gonna have to run
fast. If they catch you, they'll never let you
go home. Do you think we've just really come
true? Like in fairy tales? I don't know, Iris.
Argo! But what's to stop you from trying? Holy
shit! That was good. Dude! Did you watch Scavenger's
Reign? Never. It is sensational. Yeah, right.
That looked pretty good. Big call in the middle
there, like greatest, best animated show of the
year. Big call. Considering Chainsaw Man's going
nuts right now, dude. Yeah. Ridiculous. Hunting
season. The world is full of ugly people doing
ugly things, kid. It's just the nature of the
beast. I found something. we got you what happened
she got shot through the back you think you can
tell me what happened they took us my best friend
they shot her and i left it there i just started
running somebody shot her left her dead what
do you figure they'll do if they find out she's
alive the girl she got seen today take care of
it This brotherhood. Who are they? These people.
God dang animals. I'm looking for somebody. No!
Get back in the house. Tool up. Lock all the
doors. Yes, sir. You understand what kind of
mess this girl is in? You don't want to mess
with these people. Wasn't planning on it. Sometimes
we don't get to pick what we want to do. Classic
Mel Gibson. The only thing I care about in this
whole wide world is keeping you safe. Nothing's
going to stop me from doing that. Damn thing
won't start. Dude, that looks freaking good.
You said classic Mel Gibson. I was thinking classic
old man in Hollywood. Taking on an action role?
Hell yeah. Dude, that looks brilliant. I don't
mind that. I'm down for that. This is Resurrection
now. This is a Japanese movie. I have no idea
about it. Just saw some cool imagery. Oh, well.
I'll be Chinese. No more. The worst part about
subtitle films and having such beautiful imagery
and we don't know is that we're reading. We're
missing so much of what's on the screen. You're
right. That's some sick imagery. Dude, that looks
incredible. Dude, that shit. Wow. I'll be checking
that out. Yeah. I don't know. That done something
to my fucking brain, man. I feel that. We are
at a crossroads, Fiona. My pursuit of your land
is not great. Abaddon? It is survival. Abandon
us? Abandon us. Angel's Ridge is expanding more
rapidly than anyone could have imagined. Their
tyranny is getting worse. A big cast. You continue
to turn down my generous offers. My family. Five
abandoned souls now kin. God gave us this home.
Only God can take it away. I knew I was getting
a sermon I would award my Sunday finery. Cooperate
and guarantee your safety. You make extortion
sound like progress, Constance. Hell is coming.
Mrs. Van Ness has a godless soul. Find me something
that burns. You are putting us at risk. We don't
stand together, she'll take everything. This
flirtation, it ends badly for everyone. This
place was meant to be my peace. This is my home.
I almost feel like they're in the wrong roles.
You don't see many westerns these days, do you?
No, not period westerns, that's for sure. No.
What was that television show that was on Netflix?
I saw a bit. It made Jeremy tell me that, well,
not you. But another Jeremy. Sorry, I've got
two Jeremy's. Jeremy with an A. I've got two
Clint's, so. Wow. Piece of shit. How does he
spell his name? Same as you. Damn it. Well, my
Jeremy, the other Jeremy spells his name differently.
That's weird. It's a Jeremy, not Jeremy. Right,
okay. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So he told me about American
Primitive or Primitive. That sounds familiar.
He said it's really good. Yeah, okay. What are
you doing again? Looking for this. The name is
Western. Oh, yeah. TV show that came out in Western.
Would you class 1886 and 1923 as Westerns? Yeah.
It was mainly a female cast, and for whatever
reason, there wasn't many men around. Oh, yeah.
And the one man that was in town was being hunted
by somebody else, and it was a pretty good show.
Not Why the Last Man? No. No, no, it was a proper
Western. Pretty sure it was on Netflix. On Netflix
I might be able to find it. Was it a show or
a movie? It was a television show. Bad Girls?
No. Banditas? No. Godless? Godless, that's it.
Fucking nailed it. I looked at it right then.
You did not. I did. So fucking liar. I'm not
lying. Look, it was right there. Looked at it
right there. Godless. Oi. It was good. Basically
the exact same page. You know, it was good. Yeah?
I don't know. Oh, yeah, play. Last one. Huzzah.
So you want to tell me about your bad dreams?
First one was so good, man. You're dead. well
you should be watching the trailer if you haven't
seen the first one until you deal with the mess
you left in your head my father was a monster
you know that everyone called it an accident
but it wasn't until years later when those five
children went missing she was murdered by him
are you ever gonna go back To Freddy's I mean.
I think my sister is here. Where are you gonna
run to? What do they want with my sister? Half
of this town will be dead by morning. Was the
first one actually scary, or was it just more
of a comedic slasher? It's pretty scary. Yeah,
right? Yeah, it's pretty fucking scary. Yeah,
right? Thank you, Nicky. That will wrap us up.
For Pop Culture News. Yes, sir. Thank you for
joining us. Thank you. Love, peace, chicken grease.
See you Wednesday.
