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

content that's come across our feeds this week,
and we also get to check out some of the latest
trailers. If you like what we're doing here guys,

watching, what you're playing, all that fun stuff.
Gives us stuff to talk about next week. What
news have you got for me, buddy? I'm a bit light
on the news this week. It's all right. I've got
some. Chadwick Boseman will be honoured with
a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I did hear
this. Yeah. Yeah, cool. I like that. Yeah, deserves
it. I did. It was incredible. I remember there
was a movie he was filming, one of his last movies.
Mm -hmm. And he was filming with an older actor
who'd been around the world. He'd been around
for a while. And during cuts and stuff, like
they'd usher Chadwick off and he'd sit down and
they'd massage his feet and he was getting the
special treatment and hydration and all that
sort of stuff. And he's like, I don't know if
it was like fucking prima donnas these days,
you know what I mean? And then like two and a
half, three weeks later, he passed. and an old
mate come out and he's like, he never let anyone
know. No one knew. He still worked. He still
showed up and done his scenes and you couldn't
tell him the scenes. Yep. But for me to come
out and say that, I'm incredibly sorry. I had
no idea he was going through that, but still
kept working, man. Crazy. So The Odyssey, which
is Nolan's new film coming out, apparently will
be the first film ever. Shot entirely in IMAX.
Dude. So I didn't realise that the cameras are
that big and bulky and noisy that a lot of the
time they won't shoot the dialogue scenes with
it. So Nolan has been working with IMAX to make
a smaller, quieter camera. New technology to
use. Dude. Well, that's where all the innovation's
coming from, isn't it? You've got James Cameron
on the Avatar and you've got this with the new
IMAX. I was like. I remember when he destroyed
one, one of 10 on the set of The Dark Knight,
and apparently it was like $250 ,000 for one
camera. Yeah, crazy. They ran into it at the
Batmobile or something, didn't they? Yeah, with
a tumbler. Yeah. I don't know, expensive mistake.
Yeah, even I think Kubrick did some stuff too
back in the day with low light. Yeah, right.
Using lenses that they use in space or some shit
to film, like he had a film that they did all
by candlelight and normally that wasn't done
because they needed a decent amount of light
for the cameras. Yeah, I forget what film that
was, but yeah. It's funny how art kind of pushes
technology forward. Kubrick. Using lenses from
space. Fuck. I wonder where he got that idea.
My next one is... We'll have to let yous all
in on our little text chain that me and Stretch
have been having the last couple of days. Or
not. We might touch it later. I'll touch you.
I'll go two. You go one if you're light on. No,
you go. You go. Rumour has it that Dave Bautista
is looking at playing Brainiac in Man of Tomorrow.
Come on, dude. Come on. He's got the frame for
it now. Dude, come on. But, yeah, I think he
could pull Brainiac off. Man, give him something
big to do. He deserves something big, bro. Yeah.
Just the little bit parts that he's done, and
I know he was one of the leads in Knock at the
Cabin. And he nailed that, dude. Have you seen
that? No. Oh, my God. I didn't like the book,
so. Dude, the movie shines. It's good. He blew
me away in the 12 minutes he was in Blade Runner
2049. Oh, yeah, great role. And I continually
watch that and just beautiful, dude. The way
he delivers his lines, like, you know, you've
never witnessed a miracle and shit. It's just
fuck off. Just incredible. Yeah. I'll swoon over
that, man. Speaking of swooning over a great
man, Tommy Wiseau has directed another film called
The Big Shark. Oh, God. Yeah. Oh, hi, shark.
Hi, shark. I like that. That's good. I haven't
seen. Any of his shit. No. No. I will never watch
any of his shit. For good reason. But you've
already touched on the Brainiac will be the villain
in The Man of Tomorrow. Speaking about Man of
Tomorrow, apparently Pierce Brosnan has said
that he will appear as Dr. Fate. I didn't hear
that he was appearing as Dr. Fate. I heard that
Dr. Fate will be in it. Pierce Brosnan has said
it. If he comes back as Dr. Fate. S tier, dude.
He was the best part of Black Adam. Yeah. I haven't
even seen Black Adam, but he was the part that
I was looking forward to seeing. Bro. Yeah, no.
God damn. Fucking rock, dude. I don't know. There's
something about that fucking whole thing. Yeah.
Look, I think if you're not going to put the
pointed ears on him, what's the fucking point?
Why cast The Rock because he looks like Adam?
But you're not going to put his fucking point
into his own. Go away. There were so many other
people who could have done that role justice
better then, but his ego just got in the way,
bro. Definitely. And I love that Ryan Reynolds
took a shot at him as Deadpool. Marvel has confirmed
that the Punisher will not appear in season two
of Daredevil Born Again. And he filmed scenes
with him already, though? He's been filming.
Doesn't, I don't know whether it was concurrently
doing his special. Oh, I forgot about that. Okay.
All right. There is enough characters in that
season two now anyway. Yeah. I think I've seen
enough of Daredevil and Punisher butt heads anyway.
Yeah. Same thing. Same thing all the time. Avengers
Secret Wars will begin filming summer 26. James
Cameron and Robert Rodriguez have sworn a blood
oath to make a leader too. That's in mine. That
was the best news I heard, dude. Come on. I enjoyed
that first one. Oh, same. Absolutely. That was
my second one. Okay. Ryan Coogler has confirmed
that Black Panther 3 will be his next film. Right,
okay. But did not give a time as to when he might
be on a bit of a holiday or not. Right. But yeah,
it'll be his next film. Okay. Black Panther news,
there is rumours that a second Black Panther
will appear in Doomsday. Nice. Nice. So that
will... kind of tie in how we get an alternate
version. Great. I think this is going to be a
good thing, being able to switch and swipe our
characters and introduce the next main line of
characters and also test the water with how they're
going to be received. And, like, not do it in
a way that's going to spit on Chadwick Boseman.
Like, they're not replacing him. He's just an
alternate version of the same person. And I did
like... At the end of Black Panther 2, you know,
introducing young T 'Challa, because at this
point in the storyline now, he'd be 19. Would
he? Well, he was 10 then. Hasn't been nine years
since then, has it? Yeah, but it could be. I
suppose it could be. It's not going to be too
much of a stretch. True. And, you know, that
could be cool as well. That way he's still getting
T 'Challa. It's just a different version of T
'Challa and it's still tied into the AG. Chadwick
Boseman sort of thing. Yeah, true, true. Oscar
Isaac will reportedly be appearing in The Batman
2. I am not mad at that. No, I don't know what
role. There's been a lot of memes about him going,
oh, he might be a little old for Robin, but we
can see it. Oh, who could he be? No idea. Maybe
Dr. Crane. Yeah. I think it'd be a Doctor Crane.
Time will tell. Doctor Strange 3 is reportedly
in early production. In the works, beginning,
not production. They're writing scripts and shit.
Okay. I like the Doctor Strange series. Yeah.
Second one got a bit skittish. Yeah. I think
Sam Raimi tried to lean on the horror. I did
like that aspect of it, though. Yeah? Oh, yeah.
Yeah, the zombie strange. It was fucking cool,
man. Yeah, I did like the dead walker. It was
pretty good. Yeah. Yeah, all right. And, like,
the alternate reality where everything is fucking
broken. And upside down and floating away and
shit. Yeah, up the stairs into nothing. Yeah,
it was fucking. Cool imagery. Yeah, the imagery
and the visuals were cool. Even like when they're
travelling through dimensions, like through the
multiverse and becoming paint at one point. Fucking
okay, so I'm going to re -watch that. Yeah, when
I re -watched it, when Landon watched it, it
was sick. Landon was like, zombie strange. All
right, I'm going to give it a re -watch. I've
come across this list of... Stuff that Warner
Brothers has passed on it. Justice League, Mortals,
Guillermo del Toro's Justice League Dark, Wonder
Woman 3, Ben Affleck's Batman, Batgirl, The New
Gods, James Wan's The Trench, Joker and Harley.
Bet they're going to do a Jimmy Olsen TV show.
I mean, it's a TV show. All those other properties
were movies. They all would have worked as a
TV show, though. I'm glad that they didn't do
the trench. I didn't care for that at all. You
didn't even give Aquaman a change, you motherfucker.
I did. I meant I wanted to like Aquaman, and
I didn't. Yeah, sure. Speaking about shelving
things. Eckies are back. Apparently, Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles' plan for The Last Ronin
has been shelved. That's fucking devastating
news, dude. In favour for a live -action movie
that will aim to emulate Sonic the Hedgehog's
success. Couldn't they give us both? The Last
Ronin for the adults? Give it, like, limited
release? Just fucking please the fans? I'll never
fucking understand that. No, I knew you wouldn't
like that. I'll never understand that. Apparently
Paramount Studios has met with Zack Snyder to
discuss a proposed Snyderverse films before acquiring
Warner Brothers. Interesting. To run concurrently
with the new DCU. I wouldn't hate it. I wouldn't.
No. The Snyderverse had some flaws, but I'd still
like to see more of it. Yeah. Absolutely. I want
to see that serious, dark fucking the world could
end and Superman could rip out Batman's heart.
Yeah, fuck yeah. I want a Batman where he's going
to fucking kill the Joker. Did you see the stuff
about what they'd planned for the whole kind
of Darkseid 1 and the whole kind of Mad Max version?
Yeah. So apparently Snyder had a lot of it sorted
out, written down for Justice League. I don't
know what he was going to do, when he was going
to insert this whole thing, but that whole kind
of dream sequence with the Joker who's working
with Batman and all that kind of stuff in the
future, they were going to do like a whole movie
on that. Fuck yeah. Yeah. It was going to be
Batman, like Mad Max Batman. And I know Ben Affleck
might not come back for it. You know, Momoa's
moved on. Ezra Miller can fuck off. I don't want
Gal Gadot anywhere near it. So, yeah, recast,
same vision. Except Joe Manganiello. Come on,
man. Come on, come on, come on. Deathstroke,
please. Deathstroke all over my fucking face,
neck and chest. Jesus. House of Dragon has been
renewed for Season 4. And Knight of the Seven
Kingdoms has been... Greenlit for a season two
prior to its season one premiere. You haven't
even given it a chance. No. And Task, which is
on HBO with Mark Ruffalo. Yes. I think it's only
just finished up. It's been greenlit for season
two. Nice. I've been hearing great things. I'm
being mean to start checking it out. Yeah, I
heard great things about that show. Some new
images of Bullseye and Mr. Daredevil were released
the other day, and they look fucking sensational.
Mm -hmm. They do. Look at that. Mm -hmm. Fuck
yeah. That's the best version of Bullseye's costume
that I've seen, dude. I don't know how I feel
about just the all -black Daredevil, but. I did.
Oh, man, I kind of wish there was some weight
to it. He was going to wear an old Daredevil
suit with the horns broken off it and a bullseye
scratched into the forehead. That would have
been cool too. Oh, yeah. Just using one of his
old suits because they're potentially a team
up with him in season two. I did see. And it's
fucked. The Zombieland director gives hope to
bringing the crew back for a third movie in 2029.
Yeah. I mean, I like the chemistry of Woody Harrelson
and Jesse Eisenberg have. Have you seen the press
tours for The Horseman? What's it called? Now
You See Me, Now You Don't. Fuck, Eisen has been
given at Woody Harrelson. He's just so smart,
dude, that kid. It's just these backhanded compliments
that just rip shreds off him. Talking about the
one commercial he did and how his entire career
has added up to this moment where he's able to
give so much to a five -minute spot on TV. Oh,
a 30 -second spot on television. Two strips off
him. Jacob Elody and Lily Rose Depp will star
in the movie adaption of Out of Dark by Cormac
McCarthy. Never heard of it. I've only heard
good things about it. It's meant to be pretty
dark, pretty messed up, and, I mean, that's coming
from the guy that did The Road and No Country
for Old Men. Oh, right. So he wrote those books.
Yeah, yeah. Out of Dark. Out of Dark, yes. Have
you read the synopsis? Out of the Dark is the
second novel by American writer Cormac McCarthy.
The time and setting are nebulous, but likely
take place sometime around the turn of the 20th
century somewhere in the Appalachia. Oh, it's
going to be creepy. Yeah, the novel tells of
a woman named Rynthi who bears her brother's
baby. Oh. Oh, God. The brother, Kala, leaves
the nameless infant in the woods to die. Patelzi's
sister, the newborn, died of natural causes and
had to be buried. Rinthi discovers the lie and
sets out to find the baby for herself. Surely
this wasn't a Stephen King novel. No, it was
definitely a Call Me McCarthy. Fucking Jesus.
Yeah, okay. On to the next. Yeah, moving right
along. Sadie Sink, who will make her MCU debut
in Brand New Day. is reportedly going to reprise
her role in Secret Wars. I did see that. And
the last two bits I have are Star Citizen nears
$900 million in funding and still has not got
a release date. This is the longest beta testing
in the history of mankind. Crazy, man. It's got
to be a rort, hey? Like, it's just been going
on for that long. The worst part of it is, right,
So every time they release an update, it wipes
your progress. Yeah, yeah. So it's fucking raw.
Yeah. It's a raw. People spend real world money
for in -game items and like the money that has
been spent is nuts. Dude. All the money that
has been spent, 900 million, that's how they
got all their funding is from crowdfunding. Dude,
that's fucking nuts. Yeah. My last piece of news
is kind of like, oh, that's shit. There is a
Moana live adaption coming out. The teaser trailer
has dropped this week. I'm like. You didn't know
about this? No, I didn't know they were doing
it. Oh. Dude, this is old news. Is it? Yeah.
I only saw the teaser for it the other day. I'm
like, I'm not even going to watch it on here.
They announced the animated Moana 2 and this
at the same time. So you can't tell me it's not
a cash grab. Right, okay. But Moana 1 isn't that
old in their release. It wouldn't even be 10
years old. No. Yeah. Like, nuts. Dude, it's just
the rock's fucking ego, dude. It has to be. Surely
he has something to do with it. Has to be. Well,
he's the producer on all these things now. Yeah.
Yeah, right. Well, that's the end of the news
that I've got. We've got a few trailers to check
out. Did you already queue them up? I've already
queued them up. Oh, fuck you. Everybody, this
bloke just does not get enough credit. The first
one is Night Patrol, a movie with Justin Long.
I was a kid. All I wanted to do was be a cop.
I just thought it was the coolest thing. We're
portrayed differently now. We're seen in a very
negative light. Most of us are good. But there
are a few bad apples out there. Turn around and
face the other way. What is this? They shot your
sister. I think it was night patrol. You guys
are special. I want to be a part of that. When
are you going to let me in on the big secret
around here? You want in night patrol. This is
it. What did you do to me? The vampires. Tonight,
let's go. We show him our night patrol hunt.
We believe colonial courts try. I heard what
they were. I still didn't believe. Y 'all feel
that? Coming for us next. This is night patrol.
We need to be ready. This is a sacred night.
This is good versus evil. We ain't going nowhere
until we get some payback on that demon. Is it
demons? It could be lizard, man. What? Yo, Tripp,
you brought them silver bullets? All that blood.
That's werewolves, man. You trippin'. I ain't
trippin' no more. I ain't trippin' no more. I
ain't trippin' no more. I ain't trippin' no more.
Dude. There's that much content out there, dude.
You're missing half of everything. Yeah. Turn
it up a little bit. Turn it up a little bit.
Oh, shit, son. Rocky! Is that me? I need you
to come with us. The sun is dying. We have a
doctorate in molecular biology. And I ride a
bike to work. And it's not for exercise. If we
do nothing, everything on this planet will go
extinct. Including us. She's hands exactly how
I thought she'd stand. My ship. I'm Grace. I'm
gonna call you Rocky. So, I met an alien. He's
a genius engineer. And if I can't understand
what he's saying, he puts on a little puppet
show for me and my tiny brain. And you know what?
I don't mind it. His planet's dying too. We're
here for the same reason. Grace Rocky save stars.
Am I expendable? It's almost like you don't care
if I die. Hold on, you have to talk about it?
The consensus here is that it would be preferable
if you did not die. Thanks, guys. You're a great
scientist, Dr. Grace. And a great human being.
The world is counting on you. It's now or never.
Call it fist bump, by the way. Fist my bum. No,
it's fist bump. It's not the same. Nice. Is there
in for a treat when that movie comes out? Holy
shit. Come on, man, really? It's only a teaser.
We don't have to watch it. We can go straight
on to the next one. They made a fifth one for
a reason. Honestly, they get better as they go
on, in my opinion. Not many movies do that. You
were there. You were there. You were there. It's
going to be good. Yeah. I mean, I'm a sucker
for those movies. I think they're fucking great.
Oh, new Hunger Games, too. Holy shit. Wow. That's
tight. Welcome to them, to the glorious reaping
of District 12. God. Twice the number of tributes.
Twice the glory. It's time. For the second. Is
it really? She's in everything at the moment.
Grace McKenna? She's in a bunch of stuff. She's
been in, like, she plays all the young blonde
haired girls in all the flashbacks of every movie
for the past ten years. I think these games are
going to be different. You turn your systems
volume up so the rest of the movie... You turn
your systems volume up. I would. You're going
to make me pay for it, aren't you? No. So it's
a new film that premiered last year sometime
at one of the film festivals in Australia, I
think. Or it's an Australian film festival. Let's
see how the scratch works. Han Zim has got a
paycheck ahead of his. It looks good, but it
could quite easily be the use of the good bits
of the trailer. Tell me everything and nothing.
Yeah. Interesting. I don't know. I don't pre
-watch these. That's the problem. You don't vet
them? James, so much time has passed. But I'm
asking to please come back to our special place.
Something's happened. Love, Mary. Hello? Can
anyone hear me? Everyone got sick in Silent Hill.
Something's happened here. Something really,
really bad. enough to save her. You did it, didn't
you, Jimmy? You woke him up. No one said it would
be easy. Thank you for joining us again for Pop
Culture News. Please, guys, like, comment, subscribe,
