From the dungeons of Morningstar, my name is
Clint. And I'm Stretch, and this is Prevailing
Strange. Welcome back guys to our Week in Review,
a segment where we talk about some of the content
that Clint and I have checked out this week.
If you like what you're watching here guys, please
like, comment, subscribe, do the thing, share
us around, look at our face, laugh at us, tell
us we're dicks. What have you checked out this
week, buddy? Okay. So I'll watch some old ones
and I'll watch some new ones. Okay. You're going
to be mad at me, though. Okay. Because I didn't
watch the last episode of Welcome to Derry. I'm
sorry. However, episode three was not as scary
as you said it was. No, you said episode three
ramps up the horror. I said two. Was it? Well,
that wasn't scary either. And you didn't think
it was more kind of wild, the fucking horror
scenes? Not really. The fucking mum and the fucking
living snatch and... Bro, I seen a fucking devil
bat get born in the first ten minutes of that
show. Yeah, but the thing does look ridiculous.
Yeah, it did a little. Yeah. Yeah. But, yeah,
sorry. No episode four. Three? There's only three
episodes. Is there? Yeah. Well, I haven't watched
episode three. So you've only watched two episodes?
Yes. I apologise. I apologise. But I've watched
so much more stuff that we can talk about. Okay.
I'll start off with something. Yes, please. So
I've been on my anime kick this week. Of course,
yeah. Well, I actually subscribed to Crunchyroll
by accident the other day. Yes. May as well make
the most of it. I'm going to use it. I'll just
leave it there. So I finished season two of Kaiju
number eight. Very fun. Very exciting. That's
what I talked to you about last week. The Pacific
Rim knockoff. Not really, but kind of. I think
Pacific Rim is a knockoff of about 10 other anime
movies and TV shows. So all the kaiju, so they're
not all massive kaiju, like fucking Godzilla
and shit. So there's some like Bowser. Yeah,
small ones, like human -sized ones, or they come
in like hordes of giant ants and stuff like that.
There's all different types of monsters, but
they just call them kaiju. Right, okay. It's
pretty fun. You've got Crunchyroll. You may as
well watch it. I might give it a go, but I want
to watch Blue Eye Samurai first. That's on Netflix.
I want to watch that first. Okay. I watched Blade.
Right, the original? God damn, dude. Good movie.
Such a good movie. So good. I'm sitting there
listening to it, though, and I'm like, man, this
opened so many doors. Just swearing in violence
and blood and gore in a comic book movie. and
mainstream and made comic books serious again,
you know what I mean? It wasn't, you know, a
bloke with his underwear on the outside, you
know. It was dark and fucking evil. It was great.
And the soundtrack was kick -ass. Yeah, it was
killer. Let's go. Opening ten minutes, man, that
fucking bloodbath scene. Jesus. I remember waiting
like eight hours for that to download on Napster.
So good. On the school library. Because they
had the computer there. Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. Nice.
Nice. And I didn't know anyone else had a CD
burner except for the school library. And then
I bought one. And then we were pirating shit
and selling PlayStation 1 games at school and
all. Me and Azar O'Donnell, mate, we had a business.
Sick. So I've caught up on the final season of
My Hero Academia. Okay. Season eight, I believe.
Which one is it? I don't think there's many episodes
left. About eight episodes into season eight.
Yeah, right. So it's only a newer anime. I mean,
it's been out for the past few years, like ten
years. Eight years, something like that. Yeah,
right. Because then poor bosses don't rest, do
they? It was coming out seasonally, though, so
at least once a year. I think it had a little
hiatus there for a minute, so it might be closer
to ten years that it's been out for. Yeah, right.
Fair enough. Watched Inception. Oh, yes. Goddamn.
Why do you keep re -watching old shit? Dude,
that's because that soundtrack just scratches
my brain. I mean, I get that. Oh, my Lord, that
movie is just, it works on so many levels. Mm
-hmm. It's beautiful to look at. The story is
just mind -frying, mind -bendingly beautiful.
The themes in it are absolutely, you know, incredible.
It's just what would a man do to get back to
his kids? Yeah, man, it's a fucking great movie.
Fucking great movie. I'm not going to deny that
at all. Toast to tits, dude, just perfect. Like,
I loved it. And the ending, it doesn't get much
better. The fact that he doesn't care if it's
a reality anymore, that he walks away from it
just because he's there with his kids, dude.
Iconic. Fucking crushed it. Crushed it. You know,
dude, exactly. I reckon that spinning top was
now more iconic than the fucking hand raise over
the head in Breakfast Club. I mean, two different,
complete different movies, but yeah, sure. Well,
you name a more iconic ending than that. What's
an ending you think of? They go, oh, yeah, that's
good. Oh, man, you've put me on the spot. I don't
know. You're lame. I don't know. Don't have to
remind me. Hurry up. And the last anime I've
been watching this week is Dan to Dan, the second
season of Dan to Dan. Not Dan to Dan, Dan to
Dan. Dan to Dan. Such a fun, fun show. Is it
really? Oh, yeah. Why? I don't know. The music,
the themes are fucking ridiculous in it. Do you
watch these when you're at work? Sometimes. Yeah?
Yeah. It's about this nerdy kid. He's really
into like cryptids and fucking ghosts and shit
like that. No, sorry. There's a girl, cool girl
at school who's into aliens and shit. Oh, she's
so cool. No, sorry. He's into aliens. Jesus,
he's cool. He's into aliens and cryptids. She's
into ghosts and supernatural shit. Oh, they're
both cool. They're both cool. But like he's super
nerdy, doesn't have any friends. She's cool and
everyone kind of. They're still both cool. Anyway,
they end up becoming friends and whatnot because.
That would be such cool friends. Aliens kidnap
them and I think aliens kidnap her and a ghost
steals his balls. His testicles. Yeah, and then
he gets powers because of it. Oi, fucking O,
I'd make that trade. He's got one back and there
he's got powers. Where do you sign off for this?
It's on Crunchyroll. No, no, no, I want this
to happen. I'll hand in one of my nuts for superpowers.
Don't need it anymore. No, not at all. But, yeah,
so then there's fucking aliens trying to get
his junk and fucking, yeah, and they're fighting
ghosts and shit. It was pretty funny. So he wants
to get his other testicle back. Yeah, he wants
to get it back, yeah. Why? Well, he didn't get
the power because he lost it. He got the power
when he got his nut back. So he thinks he'll
be more powerful? No, I don't think so. I think
he just wants his nut back. Fuck no, man. Just
get an acorn and wedge it in there. It's fine.
Same thing. I watched The Witcher Season 4. Oh,
yeah. How'd it go? Look, I wanted to hate on
it. Yeah, okay. Wanted to hate it. Didn't want
to like it at all. It's good. All the reviews
are bad. I'm sorry, but it's good. I like it.
It's very, like in the second and third season,
you saw what, probably three or four or five
monsters at most. In the first three episodes
of this, you've gone more than that already.
There's at least two monsters nearly every episode.
Yeah, well, I mean, in the books, he didn't really
do that much monster hunting. Yeah, right. Like,
he's trying to get back to Sorella, so they're
on a trek across the continent. But, dude, I
don't mind it. Like, is it the greatest show
ever? Is it season one? Fuck no. But, dude, I
don't mind it. I don't mind it at all. That's
quite jarring to replace the main character.
Probably too jarring for me. Yeah, fair. I get
that. Yeah, I get that. You get a bit too much.
I watched The Great Wall. Yes, with Matt Damon.
Matt Damon. And Pedro Pascal. Is he in it? He's
off -sider. I've never watched it. Two main characters.
Yeah, right. Dude, beautiful man. Oh, my God.
All the way down to the character design for
the demons that are in it. The costumes, the
wall itself, the acrobatics that come off the
wall, it is just beautiful to watch. That Damon
kills it, man. It's a great movie. Anyone should
be given this a chance. I think it missed the
mark with a lot of people, but, dude, it's brilliant.
Absolutely brilliant. I loved watching it. It
always makes me happy. I watched Shang -Chi.
God, there's still lots of them. Such a good
film. Yeah, it was good on the rewatch when I
watched it with Landon. I watched Mortal Kombat
in 95. Dude, God, that's good. He's all in the
shop. Are you watching them? I'll watch that
in the shop, yeah. Mortal Kombat 15 and Playdate.
I watched that last night at home. Dude, it is
such a joy. It's so funny. Alan Richson is absolutely
adorable in it. Kevin James, oh, Jesus Christ.
He's just. You can't not like Kevin James. Yeah,
he's pretty funny. And, yeah, the whole premise
of it is fucking hilarious. Yeah, nice. But that's
all I've got for you, sir. That's all the stuff
you're watching except for our one movie, the
movie that you chose. Dude, this, I did not know
what to expect. All I did know what to expect
is Kevin. It's a Stephen King movie, so I knew
there'd be. Based on a novella. Yeah, I knew
there'd be some sort of themes. And I didn't
miss. Delivered. So, yeah, 1922 came out in 2017.
Yes. And it was directed by Zach Hilditch. He's
an Australian fellow. Is he? Yeah, he's an Australian
fellow. Okay. And his next film that he's directing
is We Don't Bury the Dead. You did see that with
Daisy Ridley. Yeah. We watched the trailer for
that a little while ago. It came out of nowhere,
but it was good. Really the only big name in
it was Thomas Jane. Oh, no, not at all. Mr. McDonagh?
Yeah, but like he's mainly TV and stuff. He's
not massive. Do you know that he turned down
a lot of acting roles because they tried to make
him kiss other women and shit? He's like, no,
I only kiss my wife. Yeah, that's right. Which
is sad. You can make special effects with a gunshot
on and make special effects where people are
just a bit closer. I don't know. I don't know.
Yeah, so a man, what was the fucking rundown
for it? A man plans to kill his wife for profit,
basically. So, yeah, we go through the whole
movie and he's just an old farmer. He's a bit
dumb and dense and he's just like, all I've got's
my farm, my family. And then one day she inherits
80 acres and combined with his, they've got 180
acres and she wants to take hers and sell it.
And move away. Move to the city. And he don't
like that. He would probably be okay with it
if she wasn't going to take his son. That's right,
yeah. I think one of the first things you hear
him say is a man only has two prides in this
life. Yeah. That's his land and his son. Yeah.
So the whole plan was, oh, shit, I'm not going
to have an amicable divorce, may as well kill
her. Yeah, pretty simple reasoning. Men, you
can do better. You can just leave. No. You should
do better. 100%. Opens up with a fair bit of
foreshadowing. I've got that written here, foreshadowing,
question mark, axe, the well, scenes around the
yard and shit like that. Yeah, when he's walking
around with the axe a lot, I thought, oh, well,
he's just going to swing this in anger. No. No,
it goes down. Probably would have been better.
Yeah. Fucking Jesus. Oh, man, I thought it was
brutal. He was talking his son into this. Man,
it was bleak. It was so bleak. And just to put
those sort of thoughts into not only another
human's head, but your son's, someone that you're
meant to love and adore and shit, and this is
what happens. But his voice, his voice got a
bit jarring for me. Towards the end also, like,
he needs the voice. Like, he wouldn't be that
bloke without it. He's got that drawl. Yeah.
Who's always chewing on tobacco. Yeah. But, yeah,
it's foreshadowing Thomas Jane Ken drawl is my
fucking note. Fucking bleak getting the sun in
on it. Yeah. And then what they do. Fuck, that
was brutal. Did so many better ways, bro. Yeah.
Why did he put the Hessian bag over her forehead
for one? And motherfucker, she's on her back
in bed. Why don't you just go, I've watched Dexter,
motherfucker. Yeah. We're not condoning such
things. Not at all. He fucked it up. He fucked
that royally. Now, dude, do you want to hear
my notes for the start? Thomas Jane's voice,
bold choice. What a cunty person. Far from too
common. Just leave for fuck's sake. Jesus Christ,
I wouldn't let him carve a ham. But the worst
part is too. All the way through the movie, he
uses guns. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Fucking
hell, Stephen. It's funny. I've got written here,
like, that it was for somebody who was able to
come up with, like, the ideas of when she ran
away and took this and only took that and whatnot,
he'd done some pretty dumb shit too. Fucking
dude. Oh, yeah. Bro. When he puts her in the
world. Yeah. She's just there. Yeah. It's like,
bro, the first place the cops are going to check.
Yeah. Smack. But then he had a pretty good idea
for it. That was pretty good. Yeah, dude, that's
a thing. He's a problem solver. Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.
Not a good one. And the next one was The Rat.
Dude. Even later on when it's eaten the udder
of the cow. Yeah. No. No, my dear. No. Fuck that.
He clearly has guns. Why not use them? It looked
fantastic, dude. It did. I thought it looked
wow. I do like cornfields. Yeah, man. They're
such a great character in the films, man. But
even. So the whole premise of this is 1922 for
him is just fucked and it starts with the curse
that he put on his land and his family. The withering
of the cornfields over time to show how cursed
this land now is that they couldn't even get
grass to grow on this thing. Everything was just
dying. I thought that was a fucking fantastic
addition. And even just all the fucking. His
livestock just falling over and killing themselves
and breaking limbs. Serve the cat right. Some
of the T models and the Cadillacs in this are
sick old cars. Dude, yeah. I think it was you
that was telling me that there's people that
have these flash cars with no engines, gearboxes.
They pull up, dump the cars down, take photos
and bail. Dude, imagine the... No doubt they'd
have like a Hollywood stockyard where they've
got all these old cars stored for people to use
uranium out and shit whatsoever from Hollywood,
right? No, no, no. All the vehicles that you
ever see in Hollywood movies are usually private
collections. Yeah, right. Or built specific for
the movie. Fuck yeah. You know what I get really
upset about? When I think about all the cars
that we've rallied through bushes and jumped
over shit. Yeah. What they'd be worth now. LJ
Taranas. Dude, we had a HQ Minara at one point.
We're worth 100K these days, dude. Holy shit.
Yeah. The sound, the sound engineering down to
the... Scratching in the rough. Fucking unsettling
as shit. Yeah. I thought the sound engineering
was fantastic. It looked great and it sounded
fantastic. Especially when he started to spiral.
Yes. Even the sound, because we got the surround
sound at home. Like the wandering of the sounds
through the speakers. Fucking fantastic. What
the fuck? How is it this easy to get away with
murder? Yeah. Mm -hmm. Oh, Jesus Christ. And
then, ah, yes, the karma train has arrived. Yes.
That were my notes. Fucking, when you got bit
by that rat and didn't go to fucking see a doctor,
like, what the fuck? Your hand's starting to
rot, fella. Yeah. And then they're just like,
so yeah. Yeah, I thought it was, I wasn't sure
if it was going to end on when his son and the
daughter and his girlfriend end up pretty much,
I was like, oh, supernatural Bonnie and Clyde.
Yeah. Yeah, that didn't end up too well for them.
Not at all. And that was the thing too, like,
she's been shot in the stomach, fella. Go to
a hospital. Go to a doctor. I'm going to get
you some water. Get some wood and make you warm.
Come back. She was cold. She was gone. Yeah.
No amount of heat is going to wake that up. Yeah.
But just, yeah, the fucking hell, man. I thought
when she's walking down the stairs into the basement
at the end. That was good. And then just her
whispering. Yeah. And, like, again. When she's
whispering and having the surround sound, it's
like. Fucking creepy. Yeah, it was good. I like
that line. Told me things that only the dead
would know. Yes, dude. Yeah, it's pretty cool.
And, yeah, when she would just be standing in
a doorway and stuff like that through the house,
that was pretty cool. Oh, yeah. Had some pretty
cool moments like that. I didn't know how I was
going to feel about this movie. Will I watch
it again? No. No. Did I like the film as a piece
of work? Fuck yeah, I did. I thought this was
not bad at all. Yeah, well, it had plenty of
like the markers, you know. It looked good. It
sounded good. I think Thomas Jane put in a great
performance, dude. Oh, yeah. Thomas Jane always
does. Yeah. Yeah, dude, I've liked him ever since
Buddy the Deep Blue Sea. Big. I thought, I even
thought like the. The young boy in it, like the
teenager, I thought he'd done well too. Not many
weak points about it except for the fact that,
mate, use any other weapon except for a knife
next time because you can't use one. Yeah, well,
I mean, it wouldn't be much of a story if he
did it the right way and everything ended up
well. Yeah, yeah, fair play. I've got to suspend
that belief. When I watch these types of movies,
I'm like, you wouldn't do it that way. Not that
I think about this stuff that much, but you're
like, that's obviously not going to work or you're
going to get fucked up on this later. You've
just got to not think about that. You're like,
okay, that's a plot point. You've got to think
too. Like a little hole at the front wouldn't
make it nearly as grotesque as her walking around
the house the way she did later. Yeah, 100%.
It's like that, oh, the Mischa Barton character
in. No, not Misha Barton character. It was the
little Indian boy character in The Sixth Sense.
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. He used the gun on himself.
He looked perfectly normal from the front and
then the camera went to the back and there was
no back. Mm -hmm. Jesus. That horrified me as
a kid, dude. Yeah. Holy shit, that. And when
the little girl's in the tent, she just goes,
Misha Barton vomits in the little tent. Fucking
horrifying. Yeah. What would you give it out
of five? I'd put this up there like probably
a four. I didn't mind it. I'm going to go three.
Yeah. I'm not going to re - I won't re -watch
it. Much like even if I ever get really bored
and I want to show somebody, you know, a weird
fucking movie, I'm never going to watch Possum
again. Yeah, I don't need to watch it again.
Never. I don't even think I would want to inflict
it on anybody else. No. Yeah, I reckon, dude,
I wish we could go 3 .75, but I can't. But it's
better than a movie that I gave a 2 .5, so I'll
give it a 3. Yeah, well. Oh, sorry. No. It was
better than a movie that I gave 3 .5, so I'll
give it a 4. Okay. I'll put it slightly above
Dream Scenario from last week. Yes. There we
go. Which I gave 2 .5 right down the middle.
Yeah, I think I gave that 3. Yeah, I'll put it
up there with that. Yeah. Let's go with that.
Cool. That's all I've got. Thanks for joining
us again, guys. Please, like, comment, subscribe,
give us some shit to talk about. Otherwise, you're
going to have to listen to us mumble on about
stuff that we're actually talking about. Love,
peace and chicken grease. See you Friday.
