From the dungeons of Morningstar, my name is
Clinton. It's fucking hot in here. And I'm Stretch,
and this is Prevailing Strange. Welcome back,
guys, to our week in review, a segment of Prevailing
Strange where Clint and I get to share some of
the content that we've checked out this week.
If you like what we're doing here, guys, please
follow along, like, comment, subscribe. Tell
us all the stuff you're listening to, watching,
and maybe we can chat about it. What have you
checked out this week? Okay. I watched a show
that I didn't really want to watch. As a dad,
it was a fucking hard watch, dude. It was called
Adolescence on Netflix. I've heard. It was a
hard watch, man. Four episodes long. Each episode
goes for about an hour. It's a single take, the
whole episode. That's wild, isn't it? They say
a single take. There are cuts, but they're imperceivable.
You can't find. This was a writing and a directorial
debut. See, this is why I'm so fucking shit.
I shouldn't have done this while I was at work.
It was the actor. Yeah. And he'd been in plenty
of stuff. He has been. So Stephen Graham, the
bloke who plays the father in the show, wrote
with a friend of his and the whole thing was
his baby. He plays the dad in it. And he does
an absolutely incredible job. Just incredible,
dude. You really do feel so hard for him and
his wife. And it's just, it's a thing that not
every family is ever going to experience or ever
think about or ever contemplate. But the bloke
who plays the young kid, his name's Owen Cooper,
and this was his first role, dude. Yep. 13 years
old, and he's done a great job. In the third
episode, it's just him interacting with his therapist.
It's a therapist that's there that's got to,
you know, check out whether he's… Sane or not.
Yeah. Basically, whether he understands what
he did was wrong. This little fucker, dude, just…
Tees off. Just screams at this chick, dude. And
you fucking dead set believe that this kid's
a little psychopath. Yeah. Does a great job.
And he even fucks up his lines. But because it's
one take and he's in the heat of the moment and
he starts again, it doesn't matter. It's so visceral
and real that it doesn't take you out of it.
It's just him screaming. And when you're emotional
or you're angry, not every word that comes out
is going to be sensical. It's not going to make
any sense. Yeah. And it just added to that whole
heavy vibe of this show, dude. Will I ever watch
it again? Absolutely fucking not. Would I recommend
other people to watch it? No. No. But if you
do, well done. It is a good show, but I will
not watch it again. It's on my list to watch.
It's just. I know what it's about, so I've got
to be in the right mind. I'll tell you what.
There's a bloke who plays the detective, D .I.
Luke, I think his name is. There we go. There
it is there. D .I. Luke Baskin, played by Ashley
Walters. Dude, he was sensational in it. He's
only in two episodes of it. And it doesn't explain
where he went, what he's doing. It's like he
does his job and then he leaves. And you don't,
it's not like any other TV show where it's like,
oh, what happens after that? You see him at the
end where it wraps up or anything like that.
Nope. It just, it follows a linear story and
it follows the whole, like he does the arrest
of it and he does the investigation of it and
then he's gone. He doesn't have anything to do
with it after that. And it works with the realism.
Yeah, I won't watch it again. No fucking way.
So the first things I watched this week was episode
three and four of It and Welcome to Derry. Dude.
We see Pennywise for the first time. Yes, at
the end of it. And it is great. Yeah, I'm enjoying
this a lot. Yeah, if you hadn't seen the spoilers,
skip ahead. When the kid comes back. And then
I was like, oh, this is kind of weird. And then
that was it. I forgot about it. And then when
he starts fucking reciting shit, I'm like, oh,
it's fucking Pennywise. But then you just like
that little tickle behind his head and then it
just starts opening up. Yeah. It's like fucking
creepy. And then when the dad says, you know,
fucking anything is not meant to be down here,
shoot it. Yeah, I thought he was going to shoot
his son. Yeah. It was the outsider that got it.
Oh, man, that would have fucking been brutal.
Okay, just quietly, right? This is a problem
I have with that part of the movie. He runs forward
and goes like that with the rifles there and
he goes and puts his hand out. Somehow he gets
shot in the chest. Somehow he gets shot in the
chest. Yeah, I get that. Why did you push it
away and then jump in the middle of it once you've
pushed the rifle away? Yeah, it bothered me.
Yeah, that takes you out a little bit. Like you
would have fucking hit the rifle up or something
like that. Absolutely. You wouldn't have been
able to move in front of the bullet before it
happened. Dude, he's a fucking military man.
He should have known this. Yeah. But no, little
things like that you can forget about. Yeah.
Still enjoying it. 100 % agree. Yeah. The little
girl's friend with the glasses who was part of
the patty cakes. The fucking slug scene. Motherfucker.
And she fucking starts cutting off the eye stalk
and shit. Oh, fuck. That's pretty wild. Yeah.
That was good. There's so many other ways you
can do it. You don't need to use a bandsaw. It's
fine. Leave it alone. Up there with her fucking
legs dangling. And she's fucking going for it.
Do this. Poke them back in. Yeah, she was determined
to get rid of them. Fucking hell. But yeah, no.
Jesus Christ. It was hectic. And I think it's
when we see, what's his name, the bloke with
the shine? Dick Halloran. When we see Dick Halloran
come out of that tunnel and he's just a shadow
of himself, dude. I'm like, holy shit, I want
to know what was in that chest. Yeah, what's
in that chest? What's opened up? He's had the
shine, so what has changed about him now? Do
you think he put a section of the shine that
was for dead people? He put that away? Yeah.
I don't know. Because there is chests in Doctor
Sleep. The kids put shit in a chest in their
mind, and they're thinking, so, yeah, I'm thinking,
what the fuck has been let go of? Yeah. Because,
like, that was pretty traumatic. His grandmother
and his grandfather, to begin with, like, fucking
what's in there? Has he been to war? Yeah. Like,
has he managed to put all that? Yeah. The thing,
too, like, it was very, it was a great choice
to put him on the floor. Mm -hmm. and still be
in that space of him being a kid, being shorter
than his pop coming in and his pop fucking just
looming over the top of him. I thought that was
a good image, man. Like really put him back in
that time where he was getting tormented by his
pop. I thought it was great. I watched The Gorge.
Right. With Enya Taylor -Joy and Miles Teller.
Miles Teller. Dude, I really enjoyed that movie.
Yeah, like I was saying before, I've heard conflicting
reports. Some people say it's crap. Other people
are like, it's better than you think it will
be. I'm going to sell it to you right now. Right.
Sigourney Weaver's in it. Did I know that? I
don't think I knew that. If you didn't, now you
do. And does that change it for you? I mean.
It's the Sigourney, bro. Dude, I don't know how
old she is, but I still look at her and I'm going,
wow, you are fucking beautiful. Hot damn. It's
something that's, you know, on the watch list.
It's just not a very high priority. I'll get
there. It's good, man. I liked it. Yeah, I liked
it. I will give it my time at some point. I began
watching The Mighty Nein. Have you watched it
yet? No. I want to know. Yeah. It's not ASA,
by the way. Ninety -nine. Nine. So you're familiar
with the run -through that they did. Yeah. So
the first two, three episodes, I believe, is
the backstory before they meet up. This is the
critical role thing too. You didn't specify.
Come on, mate. Sorry, mate. Yeah, so in the live
action play that we listened, watched, they were
already kind of known to each other. This is.
This has given us kind of background and their
background story and shit. And in the third episode,
they kind of meet up for the first time. Nice.
Yeah, so it's like it's not just a replay of
what we've seen. They've changed it up a bit,
which is fantastic. I like that. Because, yeah,
the YouTube series, it is so good, man. That
first campaign they played that went for, what,
three years? Something like that, yeah. It was
like 250 episodes or something. It was good.
It was such a good listen, man. And if you just
put it on in the TV at the tattoo shop like I
did, fucking joyful. Yeah. So if you like an
interstate truck driver or you have a job where
you like. Yes, dude. You listen to this, it's
great. Yeah. Yeah. Such a good idea. I watched
Love and Monsters. You hadn't seen that before?
No. So when we talked about it the other week,
you didn't know what it was about? No, I didn't
know what it was about, but I hadn't watched
all of it. Such a charming movie. It's a great
little movie. Such a great movie. Came out of
nowhere. Came out of nowhere. Yeah. Great cast.
Great story. I believe it's based on a book.
Dude. But yeah, good. I want to see more of Michael
Rooker's character in that little girl fucking
traversing through the world. I thought that
was spectacular. I wanted to see more. I really
wanted to. Am I playing footsies with you? No,
I don't believe so. That's the table. That's
the table. I just felt a big ball and I'm like,
hang on a minute. Never mind. Dude, I loved it.
I thought it was fantastic. I thought the idea
that insects and everything had been mutated
and it was now vicious, like the arthropod and
shit, like a 12 -foot tall arthropod just coming
out and biting people. I thought it was sick.
Great. Great movie. Show me more. He's got a
dog now. Show me more. The last thing before
the movie, I've continued watching the last season
of My Hero Academia. Enjoying it. Never watched
it. Never seen it. It's fun. It's good. It's
kind of like, um, think X -Men. So everybody
has kind of abilities. Um, but put that Japanese
twist on it. Some of those abilities are just
fucking dumb and like, like obviously meant to
be dumb, but yeah, like a dude that can shoot
elastic tape, like sticky tape out of his fucking
elbows and a chick who's, um, Why? I don't know.
What's that tape going to do coming over your
elbows? I think you can kind of control it a
little bit and wrap things up and stuff. So you'd
be handy at a big W Christmas store, wouldn't
you? Probably. There's a girl who had her earlobes,
earphone jacks, and she can create music and
listen to things. It's fucking weird. I thought
you said it was hero academia. It is. They're
heroes. They're heroes in training, but they're
not like. Can I ask what somebody with. Headphone
jacks for earlobes would bring to a party. Well,
she's like a recon type person. She can fucking
tap into things and hear long distances and stuff.
Nothing has headphones anymore. Nothing has headphone
jacks. She doesn't have to connect it. She can
plug it into the ground and she can hear vibrations
and shit. Yeah. Yeah. It's dumb. I watched all
the Godzilla and Kong movies this week. Oh, yeah.
The new age ones. Yeah. It is so good. And I
watch Pacific Rim. All right. It's been. It's
cloud you week? No, monster week. Oh. So we've
got two A4 sheets of paper at the shop. Mm -hmm.
One page has themes. Mm -hmm. The other page
has movies in those themes. So you come in on
Monday and we vote what theme we're going to
have for the week. Mm -hmm. And then once that
theme is organized on Monday, then you get to
pick movies in that category and then you watch
them through. Dude, monster week's been so fucking
cool. Nobody picked the, what was it called?
The dreaded claw. And then I watched. That's
worth fucking skimming over. Is it really? Oh,
man. What is it? I'm pretty sure. Is it the claw
or is it the dreaded claw? The dreaded claw.
I'll look it up right here. Not like the dreaded
pirate Roberts. No, not the dreaded claw. Is
it just the claw? So it's just the claw. Might
be. I'm trying to fucking find it. Does it have
little green aliens in it and is it animated?
No. Because that's Toy Story. No, it's black
and white. It's an old movie. Why the fuck do
I want to watch that? In case you didn't notice,
I didn't even watch one scene of Justice League
Grey. You never watched any of the old fucking
King Kong or fucking Godzilla movies? I'm not
90, regardless of how I fucking look to you,
Jeremy. I'm 43. Man, I've watched them as a kid.
That's fucking one of the things that kind of
got me into cinema was the old boy fucking and
me watching fucking old kaiju movies. The only
black and grey film I've ever watched is Werewolf
by Night. Anyway, The Claw. And, oh. Sin City?
Sin City's not black and white, but. You should
watch The Lighthouse. It's black and white and
it's fucking sensational. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck,
fuck, fuck Schindler's List is the only black
and white film I've watched. Never watched it.
The giant claw. That's the monster bite. I've
seen the fucking shorts of that. I am not watching
that. That's on the same level as the Asylum
movies and you refuse to watch those? The giant
claw was an American make when Japan was producing.
Fucking Godzilla and shit. I don't want to hear
it. And for the most part of the time you see
this fucking, just a giant claw coming from the
top of the fucking frame and like picking planes
out of the sky and shit. It's fucking bad. Anyway.
And you haven't seen Schindler's List. No. Dude,
every person in the world should watch Schindler's
List. I don't want to cry. You will fucking fall.
The fact that every year. these people still
make a pilgrimage to Oskar Schindler's grave.
It's fucking heartbreaking. They go there and
they put a rock on his grave every fucking year.
Heartbreaking. Heart -wrenching. And the fact
that right at the end he's bankrupted himself
and he's handing himself over to the Soviets
because he's a war criminal. Regardless of how
many people he saved, he's still getting arrested.
And at the end, he's... Wearing his clothes,
he's about to get into a car and he's still crying
with all these Jews around him and the ones that
he set free. He's sitting there crying. He goes,
I could have saved more. He saved thousands,
dude. And he's like, this watch could have bought
two of you. The car I'm about to get in could
have bought three. The fact that a car could
buy three people, dude. And the car back in the
day was only worth five grand. And it was a Mercedes.
Of course they were. Mercedes loved the Nazis.
That whole thing that he's marching, he's going
to his death, he knows he's going to die, and
the last thing he's thinking of is what he's
wearing and the fact that it could have saved
more people. Heartbreaking. Heartbreaking and
incredible story, dude. You need to watch it.
Give it your time. Monster movie. There you go.
Oh, did you hear that Adolf Hitler's just won
the, you didn't know this, did you? The fellow
over in South Africa. Yeah. His name's Adolf
Hitler. And he's now a leader. Not a leader battle
angel, like a leader. Yeah, I did hear something
about this. Jesus. Dude, come on, guys. Don't
name your kids Adolf Hitler. The funny thing
is a lot of people, you'll write stories or come
up with ideas and people go, that's stupid, that'll
never happen. And this is the world we live in.
Yeah. Fuck off. Oh, shit. Well, let's watch the,
oh, no, we'll save that for Renton Sundry. I'm
not watching that. I'm not watching The Claw,
Jeremy. No, fair enough. At all. Yeah, no, that's
fair. I probably wish I didn't see it as well.
Thank the Lord. Who? Exactly. Now, are we up
to the movie that we checked out this week? Yeah.
Okay. Let's give it a go. So we didn't mention
it last week, but I did put it in the thing.
What thing? I put it down here. When? I asked
you. Yeah, you did. Yeah, and then I edited it
in later. Yes, we watched The Woman in the Yard.
This had some hectic jump scares in it. A rather
incredible story that I liked. I didn't mind
it. It was a very short film. It was short. It's
a new film. It's only just come out this year.
Was it this year? I thought it was last year.
Okay. Yeah, I think it even had recently added
on Netflix. Yeah, right. A Blumhouse production.
They're always a good time. They really are,
dude. Is it A24 and Blumhouse are leading the
way, man. Neon. Neon does good too. Oh, hang
on. You have seen some stuff from Neon? I did
see one the other day. Anyway, they do good stuff.
Did they do that other movie we watched the other
week? They did. Which movie? The Marabone. Did
they? No, that was an A24. It was an A24. Fuck.
Okay. Trust me, Neon's done some good stuff.
I can't think of anything off the top of my head
at the moment. But, yeah, it came out this year.
No name cast. Yeah. All set in one location.
It just set in a house, man. Oh, there's a couple
of shots where they're in a restaurant. A couple
of flashbacks, yeah. Yeah, it's all set in a
house. Yeah. I was surprised that you wanted
to choose this movie. You're not a big horror
fan. Because it's scary? Mm -hmm. I like horror.
I just get scared. Fair. I'm a pussy. And this
fuckwit wants to make me do streaming with horror
games. He thinks it's good content. It would
be great content. It would be. You think the
joke's off? Wait until we get you shitting your
pants. Imagine that. And then there's just a
set of jeans hanging up on the back of the wall.
But, yeah, so twisty kind of movie. Not very.
Still not sure. Still not sure about it. Like
the ending was different. Different, yeah. So
if you haven't watched it, check it out. Come
back later because I don't want to spoil the
shit out of this. Oh, we're spoiling the fuck
out of this. I don't think you can really talk
about this movie without talking about the ending.
There's set up, but the premise isn't kind of
massive. Yeah. The cast isn't massive. But they
don't really explain much to it either. Yeah,
the acting isn't great. Yeah. But it suffices.
So it starts with this lady in a black garb.
She's just sitting in a chair in the front of
this yard. It's across the road and it's just
she's looking at the house. Lady walks out. Oh,
is there any way we can help you? And she says
a couple of weird things like, your daughter
looks tasty. Yeah. And she says some things like,
I'm drowning. How did I get here? And it's a
very distorted voice in that. But then slowly
as the day goes on, the chair moves closer and
closer to the house. We get some things happening.
We get some looks into the back story. The husband
wanted this place. She didn't want to be there.
We find that out. Well, she did, but now she's
been there. He's like, we can't keep moving every
couple of weeks, babe. We have to make this work
because this is what you wanted. You hated the
city. We moved to the country. He's no longer
in the picture. She's obviously still grieving.
she's still injured from what has happened to
take him away from his family. And everyone's
kind of dealing with it in their own way. The
kids obviously will always bounce back. Yeah.
For the most part, quicker than an adult. She's
obviously wallowing and neglecting everything.
Pellets off, fucking bills are piling up. The
kids, there's no milk in the fridge or something
like that, yeah. But this is what. See, this
is where the confusion comes, right? Because
at the end of this film, when they walk back
into the house, the power comes on. I want to
get to that in a minute. I think I'll save my
thoughts for the end. We will get to that. So,
you know, all that kind of shit's going on. She's
getting short with the kids, snapping, the kids
are getting frustrated with her and each, you
know. There's a lot of shit going on. And then
this fucking figure rocks up in the yard. And
that's weird. And the kids are seeing it as well,
which we'll touch on later. But, yeah. Yeah,
it's not like she's having a mental break. This
is like it's an actual person or entity that's
there. Yeah. And then it's just throughout the
day they're kind of waiting it out, it seems
to be. And it pretty much comes to the fruition
where this. Lady reveals her face. And she's
beautiful. God, she's stunning, dude. That chick
is strikingly beautiful. She reminds me of Ghostbusters.
Grace Jones was her name, Grace Jones. Are you
talking about the, are you the key maker? You're
the key holder or? Hang on. No, it's key something.
Key maker. It's a key maker, yeah. No, it's.
Do you have the key or key holder or key bearer?
Are you the key master? No, stop. That's it.
Fuck, I was wrong. I'm like, no, that doesn't
sound right. Yeah, so she reveals something to
the son and then the son confronts the mum about
the night that the father died. Yeah. And then
the story starts coming out because a lot of
that first kind of part is setting up. It's like
she's. She's hiding something. Absolutely. Like,
what's she not telling? Yeah. And then, like,
you think about the past, what's she not telling?
But then she's blatantly doing things and then
coming back into the house and lying to the kids.
Yeah, I don't. It's kind of a weird setup. I
think the whole movie was kind of based on this,
the third act, everything that kind of goes down
and shit starts going supernatural. And you see,
I think it's as the sun goes down, she gets closer
to the house. Because this woman in black in
the yard ends up playing with the shadows and
moving shit around. Like when a young bloke goes
out the front and you see the hand sort of come
up on the side of the house and hit the wind
chimes. Yeah. I did think that was cool. Yes,
dude. The shadow play and the way that her powers
kind of worked. I think it was really exceptional
when they went into the attic and there was a
lot of dark, but just when the light spinning
around. That spun for a long time. Yes, sir.
You know. You get that. Yeah, and then you get
that kind of scene that happens and shit goes
down and then this is where it all kind of gets
fucking weird because they get up to the attic,
the woman kind of confronts, takes the daughter,
then the mother goes down into the safe. No,
no, no, that's not the bit that weirded me out.
The fact that... The mother just disappears and
then you can see her hitting the wall as a shadow
in the background. It's like, has she absorbed
her into a shadow realm? What the fuck's going
on here? So to kind of further explain this whole
thing, she's suicidal in her grief. Yeah. I think
it's death. that is haunting her, how she goes,
you know, you've prayed for the strength. You're
not praying for the strength to overcome. You're
not praying for the strength of your children
or to be a good parent. You've got this gun in
your possession and you've thrown away every
bullet except for one. I know what you're praying
for. See, I don't think it was death. I think
it was a dark part of her because she's the one
that I think may have potentially caused the
accident because she was in the back seat. Yep.
And then. On the road behind, yeah. Yeah, on
the road behind. I think I agree with you there
because when she's in the attic and she's like,
old love is on her knees and she's crying and
she's walking over to her, half of her face is
missing. So I think, I think that. I'll tell
you my thoughts at the end because I'll keep
jumping towards the end and I can't do that.
That's not the way you review a movie. No, but
the end is kind of the important part. The last
act is where it all come in, isn't it? Yeah.
So then it has this whole kind of sequence in
the attic where the kid, the eldest son, just
watches this fucking figure that he's been fighting
in the past take the daughter and then he snaps
out of it and then we get a replay of it later
on. And it's the mother in place takes the daughter,
but does she take the daughter? And that whole
kind of sequence of going down the stairs into
the gun safe is where she kind of ventured into
to come back to that, man, very ambiguous movie.
And this is another thing where I was a bit bothered
too. Like you can see where she's holding a daughter,
but then, no, she's holding a pillow. And then
she stabs the pillow and looks in the mirror
and she's holding her daughter and she's just
stabbed her daughter. And then the lady at the
front's got blood all over her hands and she's
holding her past child in the attic. And I'm
like, it was still confusing me at that point.
I'm like, what the fuck is happening here? Yeah,
I think it's kind of weird. It's up until the
point where she tells the kids to go to the neighbours.
Yeah. So I think the daughter and the son survive
whatever this is and that's when things start
going down. So she obviously confronts this darker
side of herself, gets the gun out and, like,
tells the kids to piss off basically and is heading
to do the deed. Okay. So that's your thoughts?
To this point. Give me your thoughts on the wrap.
You finish off. You wrap up and then I'll come
back. Okay. So she goes into the... The shed,
she's got the gun, she's, you know, fighting
with this dark part of herself. You never hear
a shot. Nope. So has she done it? Has she not
done it? Whatever. The fact that she comes out
of the shed, miraculously the kids are coming
back. They're kind of happy, not where'd she
go, whatever. There is a, well, we'll deal with
that another day. And we'll be ready. Up the
stairs, the dog comes back and then the lights
miraculously come on. Then we get the zoom into
her studio and the name's written backwards,
which she's fucking berated her daughter about,
writing the R backwards. So it's like, is this
some kind of mirror dimension? Is she dead? Is
that your? We will hash over other things, but
now you. Okay. I think she's killed her kids.
Right. So I believe that she's killed her kids
and then she's committed suicide. She's now in
purgatory because when she's having that dream
or she meets her husband and he's like, I just
had the most miraculous dream. We love this place.
We've finished all the work to it. The house
looks amazing. And we've got the sign at the
front of the name. She goes, naming a place is
stupid. We're not naming this place. We're not
going to be here forever. It's a stupid idea.
And he's like, no. Every farm, every ranch has
a name. We need to name it. After everything
we've been through here. Yeah, we need to name
it. So we see her daughter die. We see her with
bloody hands. The kids disappear and come back
happy. All of a sudden the power's on. The dog
that died earlier on is back. The house looks
fantastic. Everything is finished. She has a
studio. She's got all the shit that she's ever
wanted to do and there's a finished painting.
The finished painting has Ramona backwards. I
think she's dead. And she's killed her kids.
She killed the dog. And now she's stuck in that
house forever. The whole thing with her going,
like, putting the gun in her mouth and going,
come on, we haven't got all day. We haven't got
all day. And then in the attic, when the kid's
gone, she's got half a face missing. Potential
controlling. The death character. Potential.
Gunshot wound. It's a double barrel shotgun.
She'd done the Kurt Cobain. Well, Kurt Cobain
didn't do it, but that's another story. We'll
get to that when we talk about Jeremy's moon
landing. So I think she's killed her kids. That
thing at the front was her because we see her
sitting in that chair, talking to herself that's
come out from earlier on in the film. And she's
talking and saying the same thing. I don't know.
When she says, I think I'm drowning, I'm drowning,
I think that's her drowning in the emotions of
what's going on, the fact that she was the cause
of her husband dying, the fact that she keeps
the car. The car is at the house. Why would you
do that? And then there's the she's injured,
but he's been dead for a long time. No, no, no.
No, no, no, no. This is weeks after. Like she's
still recovering from the injury. I thought it
was months after. You can be in a cast for fucking
six months. Six weeks. I think it's a recent
thing. Yeah. But, yeah, that's what I think.
I think so when they're going back in and they're
all happy, everybody's happy, and they're like,
what happens when she comes back? Don't worry,
we'll be ready. Let's go in and let's all play
video games. We'll eat all this food that they
haven't had. They didn't even have fucking milk.
And all of a sudden we're going to, you know,
have a movie night. We're going to play video
games. Everything's going to be great. The lights
come on. The name's there. The dog comes back.
No one questions how the dog come back. No one
questions how the house was automatically rejuvenated
and now looks beautiful. And the fact that Ramona
is written in reverse, I think she did. I think
she killed her family. I don't think the kids
died. Only because you don't see anything kind
of happen to the son like you do the daughter.
But the whole thing is the other house was 10
kilometres away. And she still sent her kids
away. So that just might be her. I don't want
you to see what happens here. It could be her
approximation of a child's soul or something,
like her kids are there forever now and they're
always going to stay that age. And now that they've
gone, I still believe that she killed her daughter
because she literally had blood on her hands
when she's sitting out the front. She's like,
what is this? What is this? I think it was more
she was worried about. She might have had thoughts
about hurting the kids. Now, I'm going to do
something different this week, right? So we're
going to do our little idea and our spit forward
of like an approximate sort of synopsis and then
we're going to go through and we're going to
see what the Google says. Right. Yeah, I think
she died at the end. I don't think the kids died.
You think that's just her, that's her keeping
that? that her husband apparently had alive.
Yeah. Well, see, that's the thing. If she went
into the house and they go, Dad, that would have
fixed everything and I would have gone, hang
on a minute, now I know what the problem is.
But they don't. So I don't know whether the husband
is still in that house as a dream spirit ghosty
thing. But, yeah, I think I didn't mind it. I
didn't hate this movie. I thought it was. I thought
it was the antithesis of Cargo that we watched
last week. The complete opposite. I agree. Mother,
father. Would do anything. Would do anything.
Doesn't want to do fuck all. Drowning and doesn't
want to do fuck all. Literally day and night.
Yeah. I think so too. Yeah. Yeah. Or at least
watching them back to back, it kind of felt that
way. Yeah. I thought the imagery of it was great,
dude. Like just having this house in the middle
of fucking nowhere and just having. that you
can see where nothing is within eye shot. And
then this lady just in complete black. Yeah.
Just sitting there. Yeah. Some of the camera
angles were, like, pretty cool. Yes, yes. The
phone didn't work. The car didn't work. Mm -hmm.
Nothing worked until the end. Yeah. She dead.
Oh, yeah. I think she's dead. I definitely think
she's dead. Yeah. I don't think the kids are.
It might be. Okay. What would you give it? I'd
give Cargo three and a half, and I really like
that. I'm going to give this a 3 .2. Mate, we
should have had it out of 100 because then it
would have been better. Consider all the movies
we're about to watch in our next 50 years of
doing this show. Yeah, 50. Yeah. I think we need
to do it more than five. Two and a half for me.
That's solid. Yeah. I agree. Right down the middle.
Very fast. Not mind -blowing. No. It was like,
here's some stuff. That's as much as we're going
to explain it better. Here's some stuff. That's
all we're going to talk about. It was, yeah.
It had, there was so much room to improve in
that. I thought, yeah. Three point. No, three.
Let's go three. We got three. Boom. There we
go. Cool. Now we're going to do the Googles.
You do the Google. Let's go Woman in the Yard
Explained. See what pops up. So this is AI's
answer. The Woman in the Yard is a 2025 horror
film. It is a personification of the protagonist
Ramona's grief, guilt, and suicidal thoughts
following her husband's death. She's a dark passenger
or shadow self that represents Ramona's inner
turmoil. appearing during her darkest moments
and urging her to end her life. The film explores
the effects of grief and trauma and the woman
in the yard acts as a guide into a symbolic or
a literal mirror realm, leading to an ambiguous
ending that questions whether Ramona overcomes
her depression or succumbs to it. The video explains
the symbolism of the woman in the yard and the
film's ambiguous ending. Let's go down to the
ambiguous ending. The film ends ambiguously with
conflicting interpretations of what the final
scenes mean. Some viewers believe Ramona overcomes
a demon while others see it as coming to the
woman and being trapped in a cycle of despair.
We're both fucking right. I just don't understand
why they saw this kind of entity in the yard,
the kids. Yep. If the mum had kind of kept them
away from the windows. Right. The entire movie.
Don't look outside. So they were like. So she
only saw the dark side of herself. They didn't.
I think it could have been done better, but I
didn't hate it. Just, yeah, it isn't really that
clear. The fact that everything fixes at the
end, it says this view argues that Ramona succumbs
to her grief and takes her own life with the
final bullet and the subsequent happy scene is
either the hallucination or her view of an afterlife.
Yeah. Yeah, I agree with that. All right. You
haven't seen the movie Midnight Special? Never
even fucking heard of it. It stars Joel Edgerton,
Michael Shannon, Kirsten Dunst, Adam Driver.
Oh, shit. Roy Tomlin makes desperate efforts
to protect his eight -year -old son, Alton, who
possesses special powers from the religious sect
and officials of the FBI who are on a quest to
capture him. Came out in 2016. Yeah, that sounds
not bad. Yeah, for sure. Midnight Special. Let's
go. That's one. Watch it this week, guys, and
watch along on Wednesday next week and see if
you agree with our thoughts on the movie. Not
Wednesday next week at all. We don't film until
Friday. Yeah. It'll be the Wednesday after next.
Or the Wednesday after you see this episode.
Next week. Next week. There you go. Next week.
That's so hard for me to get my fucking head
around. We'll see you then. Thanks for joining
us, guys. Please like, comment, subscribe, follow
along. Like we said, join us on Wednesday for
this episode because otherwise we're just talking
to ourselves, which isn't a bad thing. We'll
do it anyway. Yeah. I'm sitting here in underwear.
We've got a fan. Everything's sweet. Love, peace,
chicken grease. Bye.
