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 of Prevailing Strange where we talk
about some of the things that were checked out
in the past month. Because it's been a while.
If you like what we're doing here, guys, please
like, comment, subscribe, share us around. We
like telling jokes and making people laugh, but
we also like talking shit to each other. So share
that around too. What have you checked out this
week, buddy? So I've been digging deep into the
stuff that has popped up. I've travelled back
all the way to 68 when Stanley Kubrick directed
his... I don't know whether you're trying to
rage bait me on this shit or whether you actually
believe that we haven't been to the moon. We
haven't been to the moon. We haven't been to
the moon. You and I especially, but the human
race, no, stop. We didn't go to the moon in 1968.
You reckon we've been since though? I think so,
yeah. But they didn't tell us? No. No. I don't
understand. Why? Because I've watched the Marvel
Infinity Saga. Rewatching that. I watched King
Arthur again. You're just going to fucking breeze
over this shit? Breeze over what? Why? Why wouldn't
they tell us? Because why would they tell us?
Do you believe that we've had contact with alien
life forms? I don't know. Do you think that there
is other life out there apart from ours? Yes.
Okay. Do you think that alien life would come
from out there or here? Don't know. I don't know.
I genuinely think there's stuff out there in
the stars living out there. Definitely. But I
don't know if there's a lot of kind of evidence
or there's a lot of stuff that. Kind of makes
me think, oh, something is visiting us. 0 .01
% of that has to be. This is week in review,
motherfucker. But we fucking got, we started
here. No, I started talking about a great visionary
director who directed one of the greatest films
of all time. And then you cut me off. The moon
landing, by the way. Stanley Kubrick, 1968. I've
watched King Arthur again, which is always a
great film. If you'd like us to talk about more
conspiracy stuff and stuff that actually didn't
happen, like the moon landing and stuff that
actually did happen, like the Americans flying
planes into their own buildings, let us know.
Actually, sound off and let us know whether you
think we've been in the moon or not. No, about
what we want to talk about because otherwise
we could delve deep and we could make each other
look really stupid. I watched Welcome to Derry.
Can we talk? About Welcome to Derry. We can.
Okay. It was so good, dude. It was. I thoroughly
enjoyed the It movies, part one and part two.
Yep. I liked the tone of it. It wasn't necessarily
a dark, gritty kind of scary movie. It was a
lot of light, a lot of kids being kids, joking,
telling fart jokes and carrying on. And then
there was these moments that were kind of. but
like unsettling and creepy for certain things.
And, yeah, I don't know. It just was really well
done, this being somebody who never watched the
original miniseries with Tim Curry. Yeah, it
was only two movies. Again, it was split up into
two movies. Was it two movies? Yeah. So it was
the same sort of deal. You had the… Older ones
coming back for the sequel. But I never watched
it to know what its tone's like. I've only ever
seen shorts of like, you know, Tim Curry. It
was more lighthearted. Pennywise, in his torment,
was a lot more hilarious. Where this one, it's
like, it's a nice moment. Like, it's creepy as
fuck. Like, even when he's trying to be not creepy,
he's creepy. Whereas. Tim Curry's Pennywise.
The first time you see Pennywise, he makes kids
laugh. There's a clothesline spinning around
and there's a little girl that rocks up just
as there's a storm rolling in. Her mother's like,
come inside, we've got to have a dinner. And
then she's got off her bike and then she's turning
around and looking and she sees through the clothes
as the clothesline's spinning. There's a clown
and he's like, hi! And he's like waving like
that and it looks cute. It looks... innocent
and it looks like he's just a clown and she's
having a great time. And then as the clothesline
spins around one more time, there's a gap and
it's like, and he's like getting ready to eat
her and unsettling as fuck. He does that so much
through the whole movie. Like he'll make you
laugh, lull you into this false sense of safety.
Oh, it's a clown. He's a happy, good looking
guy. And then all of a sudden he'll rip the kid
to pieces. Yeah. You never see any real blood.
and guts in the first movie. Right, okay. So,
yeah, like I said, I like the movies, the latest
movies that came out, the tone and everything.
This show is basically a carbon copy in all that
kind of feel. They didn't change it up in big
ways that kind of would make you distance it
from the movies. Yeah, and there's going to be
some spoilers here, guys. It's been out for a
while, so we're going to talk about it. But even...
Even the first group of kids, you're like, oh,
these are the core kids. These are the kids that
are going to solve the issues. No. No. Spoiler
alert. They die in the first episode. Yeah. In
weird and wonderful and graphic grotesque ways.
Yeah. They, yeah. You think they kind of, they
seem like carbon copies of the kids from the
movie. And you think, okay, this is our new kind
of troop. And then they get slaughtered. Slaughtered.
Yeah. The first couple of scenes, I'm going to
talk about that, the birth scene. What the fuck?
And as soon as I see them like this, you know,
this happy family, they're talking, they're singing,
and then she goes, that's our little harlot.
That kid's 12. And you're calling her a slut.
Yeah. That's the sort of. But it's funny because
you missed the fact that the daughter was eating
liver. Yeah. Raw liver as a snack. You missed
that part. I missed that completely. I'm like,
oh, here we go. And then, yeah, you're a slut.
Oh, that's our little harlot. Close your legs.
Fuck. But it was, dude, start to finish, fantastic
storytelling. Visuals were so good, dude. They
were. And I think. Oh, yeah, a person with a
shine. What's his name? Dick Halloran. Dick Halloran.
Goddamn, man. Yeah, I enjoyed his character.
It was good to see. Little Dickie getting out
there, as Pennywise calls him. It was great that
they got Skarsgård back. Yeah. If it was a different
person playing Pennywise, they couldn't have
done it, I don't think. Yeah. And there could
have been a way that they could have done it.
But the fact that it was called It, Welcome to
Derry, it was good to see the other side of the
military actually knowing about this entity and
figuring out a way of fucking classic America
trying to weaponise it. Yeah, classic. Backfiring,
of course. Oh, yeah. I like the callback to kind
of before he became this clown persona, the entity.
Yeah. Yeah. Did you notice in every episode there
was a turtle? No. No. I still haven't seen it.
Oh, man. I still haven't seen the turtle. So
for people who don't know much about Stephen
King, there is a turtle. Well, you read the book.
He's a coked up pedophile, I'm pretty sure, and
he's quite racist. He's not a pedophile. Told
some weird shit in the book. How many stories
involving five 12 -year -olds have you ever written
as an adult? Yeah, that's probably the worst
part about his whole entire career. I love that
they keep ignoring it. They never put it in a
movie. Thank fuck. Yeah. Because Hollywood's
like, we don't want to doubt what we do on the
weekend. Oh, fuck. Sorry. Sorry. We're never
going to get someone on here anyway. Yeah, so
Pennywise is his entity from another world. You
explained it before, like a wagon world, didn't
you? Yeah, so the Elseworlds, I think it's called,
or the Outer Worlds or whatever, they're interconnected.
kind of universe, kind of like Marvel's multiverse.
And each kind of arm, branch, spoke of this wheel
is a world and we're on one of them. And each
one has a protector. And ours is a turtle, a
giant mystic turtle. You never see his influence
in, like, it's all indirect, but there's always
Easter eggs. So in the last episode. Oh, that'll
help. In the last episode. There's one kid dressed
up as a turtle. There's like turtles at the fair
in the very first episode. There's the turtle
in every episode. All right. I'm going to say
something. It's just like Jesus. Basically. There's
pictures of him everywhere. He's never going
to fucking show up and help. But it's always
kind of around when Pennywise is around or when
something good happens. But see, this is the
thing. So Pennywise is one of these guardians.
He's one that eats the world, right? The antithesis
is the opposite, yeah. So if he's there and the
kids can see him and he's interacting with the
children and the children and everybody else
is dying at his behest, why can't the turtle
show up and just go? Well, the turtle looks after
the whole branch, not just Derek. So it's a cuck.
He just watches. He doesn't do nothing but watch.
You can't have fucking just a giant clown and
a giant turtle fighting. It would be a completely
different story. Have you not seen Kong versus
Godzilla? It would be a completely different
movie, man. Just fucking I'm trying to share
some information with you. Someone's got to be
talking about this, Jeremy. We can't have all
these bloody Masonic and huge people that are
spirits and guardians and gods and shit and then
have them do nothing except for the bad guy can
do stuff. Why not? It's a classic trope. Exactly,
Christianity. It's a trope. Yeah. But can you
not see - Christianity is mythology. Yeah, great
storytelling, but it's so bullshit. Olmey did
mushrooms and seen a bush on fire and he goes,
holy fuck, that's schmick, and then wrote a story
about it. And then Stephen King did a whole lot
of coke and alcohol and wrote some stories. At
one of them pizza parties that he went to in
Hollywood, he goes, well, I've seen some shit.
But, yeah, I don't like that idea. I don't like
that, okay, Penny was the eater of worlds and
he fucking freely goes and eats worlds. Well,
he's eating parents' worlds all the time. He's
not saying that he eats worlds. He's the eater
of worlds. And what do you say about your kids?
They're my fucking world. They're my life. So
not only is he destroying children, he's destroying
the parents of these children. And the turtle
does fuck all. You're allowed to be metaphysical
about that, but metaphorical about that, but
like a metaphorical turtle that is. So you're
saying the kids are turtles? No, but I'm saying
whenever something kind of good happens, a turtle
totem is seen and it might be his influence over
the thing. It's just fucking, mate. This cunt
believes we went to the moon. We're going to
fucking fight in a minute. Jesus. Okay. So, yeah,
Welcome to Derry. And I thought as a first series
this wrapped up so good. Yeah. Fantastic. You
can't believe in the turtle, but you can believe
in a ghost coming back and helping them put the
dagger back in the ground, which I thought. I
thought that was fucking sick, dude. Yeah, man.
I cried. I didn't see that coming. Nope. And
the fuck you to Pennywise on the way past. And
I'm like, yes! Brilliant. Yeah. Legit, dude,
when he was laid on top of that fridge in the
black spot, I fucking bawled and I'm like, if
this little cunt dies, I'm going to riot. But
yeah, that fucking finger at the end, I thought
that was just a kick -ass touch. 100%. And that
he was with the totem warrior, whatever. Yeah,
dude. That was fucking very cool. Yeah, great
touch. And to bring that not just spirituality
of it all and not just the belief structure that
they're trying to fucking do with the turtle
and the gods and the protectors and the bad guys
and shit, but to bring it back to native civilizations
where, yeah, we knew this shit back then and
we put this fence up and you fuckwits are toying
with it. Yeah. 100%. White people just need to
back off. Fucking seriously. I am interested
to potentially get some more kind of clarification
to the fact that he knows about his death and
that whole circle of everything. Who knows about
whose death? Pennywise. Yeah. He explains it
too. He's like, I experience time different than
everybody else. I experience it all at once.
Yeah. Now, yeah, for him to have that picture
and go, oh, this is your husband and he kills
me, or your kid or something and he kills me,
blah, blah, blah. Yeah. It's kind of interesting
that he knows he dies. He gets confused with
everything. I kind of get that. Then why does
he try to escape if he knows he's not going to
escape? Like a kind of that thing. Why would
you try to kill that girl? Unless, you know,
him being caught causes something else, another
ripple. Right. But like, yeah, I'd like to see
where that goes. The scene of her cutting her
fucking eye off. Yeah. Who the fuck thinks of
this shit? Yeah, I don't know. Did she cut it
off or she only heard it? Because I don't remember
his mum having one eye. No, no, no, you don't
meet his mum. You don't meet his mum. That's
not the sycophant's mum. True. Okay, yeah, I
got confused for a second there. When she cuts
off her eye, yes, we're saying off because it
actually comes out of her head. I'm like, just
do this. Push it back in? Just push it back in.
Don't put it on a bandsaw and cut it off. But
she thought it was a parasite. Just push it in.
I don't care what your thought thought. Just
push it in. If you're out and you're prairie
dogging it, you're not going to just cut it off,
are you? Because then you've still got that bit
that's just past the butthole. Okay. So you'd
just push it back in, wouldn't you? We're going
that way. If you had a tapeworm hanging out your
ass, would you push it back in or pull it out?
Depends where I am. If I'm at the school, pick
it up, Logan. I'm just going to leave it. If
I'm at work, I'm going to go do a poop and pull
it out. If I'm here with you, I'm just going
to push it back in. If I'm walking in the foreshore,
right, I'm just going to clench tightly and do
a sharp inward breath. And hopefully it goes,
sucks back in. Okay. But, yeah, I rate this show
very highly, man. And I've been recommending
people to watch it, not with your kids, because
it's fucked up. Like, graphic. So graphic. The
bed scene was fucking weird. Which bed scene?
The reverse birth. Yeah. Okay, moving on. Yeah,
Wakanda Dairy. Watch it, guys. I watched seasons
one through three of Jack Ryan on Amazon. Bro.
It was a great show. That first season, I bawled
my fucking eyes out, and it really just. Now,
we started watching it just after the Bondi shooting.
Yep. I watched that season of Television Man
and I was so moved. I had so many different fucking
emotional reactions to that show and it suckered
me in for the second season. Now, all I can see
when I watch this show is I think Donald Trump's
watching it and taking notes. Season two was
invading Venezuela. Yeah, there's a lot of theories.
Well, a lot of these people that write these
stories are kind of… Fingers on the pulse type.
Yeah, fingers on the pulse, aware of the socioeconomic
landscape of the world. No, social, whatever.
Sociopolitical. Sociopolitical landscape of the
world and probably can… There's people out there
that can predict this type of shit, where it's
going to go to an extent. I watched an episode
of TV called Nathan Fillion Show Castle, and
there was a group of people who were like a think
tank, and it was red team versus blue team, and
it was two sides of a paramilitary type team,
and they had to figure out a way to bring down
America the easiest way possible. I went in and
done some like another research and shit. If
you wipe out one person, the right person, you
can collapse America as just finding that one
person. They call it the linchpin theory. And
to see Jack Ryan do this shit and to know that
there's probably people out there that are like
this dude, these high -profile analyst type people
who dead set just read. and do math all their
fucking life, just reading dossiers and dossiers
on people, their backgrounds, their family history
and shit, and you don't even know who the fuck
they are. They could have saved the world four
times in the last six years and you don't know
who the fuck they are. 100%. See, a lot of these
authors that are writing like Tom Clancy and
all that have either been in military or closely
related or have like people that. Yeah. Telling
them things. Yeah, there probably is. Well, that
brings back to that Ministry of Ungentlemanly
Warfare. There's a bloke in that who's reporting
to the Prime Minister of England and his name's
Ian Fleming. That's the dude who wrote all the
James Bond novels. Yeah. And he apparently created
the character of James Bond around March Phillips,
who's actually in that movie. Yeah. Played by
Henry Cavill. God damn. But dude, that is such
a good movie. Have you seen it? It is a good
movie, yeah. Oh, so you've watched that? Yeah.
Cool. But yeah, so Jack Ryman, I'm up to the
last season now. So me and Rachel have just been
fucking jamming that in while we've got no tell.
Because we're not going to see any more Pennywise
for two years. You should watch The Wire because
he's Offsider, the black fella. What's his name?
Whoa! James Greer, bro. Yeah. God, he's racist.
He's not racist. He's a black man. Yeah, James
Greer. Sorry. So he's in The Wire. He's one of
the characters in The Wire. I don't know why
I want to watch The Wire. People keep telling
me to watch it. It's great. Why? I sold you on
it last time. You did. I keep forgetting about
it. It tells the perspective of New York from
the base of the drug dealers. The Outlaws and
The Police. Yep. There you go. See, I remember
shit. Worth watching. It's a really good TV.
Fuck yeah. I watched Tokyo Drift. Fuck, that's
still one of the... That and number one are the
best Fast and Furious movies. Steph hates it.
And she's a Fast and Furious fan. Except if she's
going through a McDonald's drive -thru. Jesus.
She don't watch this shit. She don't know. You
better hope she doesn't watch this. You better
not fuck it. You're going to put that as the
real, aren't you? You son of a bitch. You don't
need to strap me. One of the things I did watch
was on the break, within the very little time
that I had left to myself, was the Chainsaw Man,
Reza Ayyar movie. I haven't seen it. You watch
so much gay shit. And I watched a movie called
The Green Book. Have you seen that? No, I haven't.
I haven't either. I really want to see it. Yeah,
cool. Tell me your list, mate. What have you
watched? I want to hear all about it. Well, Chainsaw
Man, Rosé Art, Welcome to Derry, and Stranger
Things. I was going to let you start on that
one. See how I left it out. Yes, I didn't. Man,
trying to think from the start, not start with
the end because, man. Mate, the little fucker
without collarbones. You think he's a cunt in
this whole series. Not the whole series. This
season he's a bit of a dick. In the beginning,
yeah. In that last episode, oh, my God, dude.
And you're like, I understand. He's dealing with
trauma. He's dealing with some shit. This show
was so good. One thing I saw about that was from
his perspective, He was closest to Eddie. He
lost Will, got Will back. Yeah, dude. There was
like three or four big ones. Hopper, they lost
Hopper. Hopper came back. They thought he was
dead. You know, lost a few people and they come
back and Eddie, he was closest to, they lost
him. He never came back. So a lot of people had
resolved those losses. Yeah. Except he hasn't
got the chance to resolve that lot. Yeah. And
fucking devastating we didn't see Eddie in it
the whole show. No, I'm glad. Like as much as
I liked Eddie, it would have cheapened his death
if they brought him back. But what if it was
a moment? There was no paranormal stuff like
ghosts and stuff. No, you're right. So to kind
of bring that element in. And, yeah, that's the
thing too. He died in the Upside Down. He wasn't
in the void. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Yeah, so
we get the reveal that the Upside Down isn't
another dimension. It's a reflection of ours
within the Eisenbridge. What's it called? Einstein
-Rosenbridge. Einstein -Rosenbridge to another
world, which they dubbed the Abyss. which is
another D &D reference. Yes. And this is the
world where Vecna has been recruiting the Demodogs
and the Demogorgons. Which I thought that was
a bit of a missed opportunity in the last episodes.
Like they spend a lot of time in the void and
you don't see Demodogs and Demogorgons and stuff
like that. So they did address that. Oh, did
they? Yeah, and they said that they feel there
would have been some kind of Demo -related. Fatigue.
Fatigue, yes. Because it did rely on demogorgons
a lot in that last stance we got on Christmas,
New Year's Eve, sorry. I would have liked to
have seen them skulking about more as a scavenger
-type creature on the world. Right. And having
them only be vicious. When Vecna is controlling
them. Yeah, that would have been cool. So he's
just picking off scavengers and sending them
rabid off after. And they're just normal sort
of animals in that sort of arena. Normal for
that world, yeah. Yeah, they could have made
a lot of sense. Something in the background,
but like being barren. It was just like this.
There was nothing there. It was kind of weird
that there was just this trek across nothingness
to. And they interacted with nothing the whole
time they were there. And that's the home of
the demos. Yeah. Just say that. Yeah. Visually,
I think it held up the whole way through. I think
if I was to watch, if I was to binge seasons
one, two, three, four, and five in an allotment,
I'd come up against the age issue a bit. But
the fact that it's been seven years since this
thing started. Well, that's one thing that I
find interesting about the whole thing. about
the whole TV show and the themes is parallels,
parallel worlds, parallel world to watching it.
And there's kind of ties. I don't know. I'm probably
talking out my ass, but I find that kind of interesting
that, you know, time does move differently in
between. I do get that, like binging it, especially
when in the end. You saw the young versions of
them in the credits and shit. Yeah, dude. They're
fucking babies, man. Steph was a mess fucking
seeing them as kids. Oh, no. Yeah. The thing
that kind of, the only thing that irked me about
the entire thing was we went from like an almost
grounded, so it had the supernatural effect.
I haven't seen that, so you're going to have
to elaborate. So dark, gritty, grounded with
a little bit of supernatural theme. Right. Everyone's
wearing plain clothes for the time. It was time,
period, accurate and that. It was like low -level
fantasy. Yeah. Urban fantasy. Yeah, yeah. We
get to the end. We've got, what's Mike's sister's
name? Curly hair. Yep. Fucking Rambo. Everyone
was wearing costumes at the end. You get what
I mean? I get you. Yeah. Like Holly has the whole
get up, like she's in a fantasy world, whatever,
in the mind anyway, but she's got like the cleric
red riding hood kind of -esque theme going on.
Mike looks like a ghostbuster. Mike's sister,
yeah, she's got very similar Rambo hair. She's
toting guns. She's killed demos and stuff. They
get into the military complex and she's just
blasting humans away with no abandon. Yeah. For
a teenage girl. Yeah. Oh, no, she's not teenage.
She's 20s. Come on, mate. She's a kid. She's
basically a kid. 20s. Early 20s. 21, you're an
adult in America. And that's when they lose all
compulsion about shooting people. Motherfucker,
they do it when they're 14. Yeah, I know. Walk
through a school just shooting kids with reckless
abandon. For the time. But then for her to not
be changed by it in the end. The fact that they
all got their jobs back, dude. How many cops
did Hopper kill? He just gets his badge at the
end? Yeah. Yeah, it's... That's what made me
lean into that conformatist theory. Yeah. They're
like, ooh, yeah, this could be their thing. They
definitely breezed over some stuff in the end.
Yeah. I do like that, you know, there was reportedly
to begin with, it was always going to end with
it being just a campaign of the kids playing
D &D. That would have been shit. In the beginning,
it might have been all right after a season or
two. Yeah. But for them to keep going, they're
obviously done. The whole lost thing and they've.
Trying to scramble to get it. Scramble working
on their, you know. And luckily they stuck the
landing. I think they did, yeah. They could have
fucked it up. But the fact that it still ended
with a D &D game and then like I still liked
that. I liked that it was the handing of the
guard like all the younger kids started their
own D &D game. That too. But as people who play
their own D &D campaigns, you know for a fact.
that if someone's waiting upstairs and they're
going, oh, it's our turn next, there's no next.
We're doing this until the sun goes down. If
we could do it over a full weekend, we probably
would. The hanging up of the cloaks, the putting
the binders away, they had to be genuine reactions.
Yeah, apparently, and the little rooftop scene
where it's the older characters, apparently that
was all just ad -libbed as well and they had
a basic sort of outline of what they wanted them
to do. The emotion and all that sort of stuff
was apparently a bit real. Oh, man, you could
tell. You could tell. I'm getting a bit misty
-eyed thinking about it right now. Well, the
character that played Dustin and Mike, Finn Wolfhard
and Gia Marzano, I don't know what his name is,
they actually were roommates for this season.
Yeah, right. And so they lived together. And
they said, yeah, it was fucking hard. Like, I
don't get that. thrust into this thing as kids,
man, like six and seven years old, and he's killed
it. They did a great job. No one had heard of
these fuckers before then. Yeah, no. And, yeah,
lucky they didn't all grow up to run off the
rails before the end of it, like kept it together
for the whole thing. And Millie Bobby Brown's
a bit off the rails in a different type of way.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, she's weird. Pretty insufferable.
I don't know why. She annoys me. I think she.
I don't like that she was paid more than everybody
else either. I think she thinks very highly of
herself. I do, right. And, you know, that's just
a product of the fucking, the whole situation
she was in. Yeah. You know. I do rate this show.
And it might be a while before I give it a rewatch.
But I will give it a rewatch because it was a
good show. I think you'd run into that problem
and find it hard to rewatch it. Because of the
age. Less the age. Like I said, less the age
for me. It would be the fact that it kind of
changes quite a lot. That third season where
she runs away, I fucking hated that season. They
just had to bring one character back in who I
don't know whether, and let's face it, she was
a fucking lacklustre character when she was back,
and I don't know whether she was only brought
back to put that idea into Elle's head that you
have to die at the end of this thing. Spoilers.
I absolutely loved how they're like, oh, this
is how it ended. And then at the D &D campaign,
they're like, what does the storyteller have
to say? Storyteller gives his, the DM gives his
thoughts on what he thinks happened. And everyone's
like, I believe that. I like that. I'm like,
that would have been cool. And I loved how they
brought the waterfalls into it at the end. But
the thing that I love the most is that I was
able to pick the ending for myself. She died.
No, she lived. Depending how you feel in the
day, you could change it. But I like that they've
done that. And I've seen a lot of people whinge
and go, oh, this is the worst episode of TV I've
ever seen. Motherfucker, can you not remember
the finale of Game of Thrones? The finale of
Lost. I can keep going. The finale of Firefly,
one of the greatest TV shows that were ever to
be produced, the final episode of them all were
terrible. Mm -hmm. Does anybody remember the
fade to black from Sopranos? I've never watched
it. I've never watched Sopranos. I'm sorry that
I missed. Another show that you watched. You
have not watched a lot of the shit that I've
watched. Because you watch shit. Name one good
show that you've watched. Objectively. The Wire.
I won't get around to it. I'll probably get around
to watching The Sopranos. I've got to download
it at home. Shh. I stream it at home. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. Surely it's available on some streaming
services. I'm pretty sure. Have you got it? I'll
give you me a Counties after this. I do have
it. Oh, sweet. I don't know why. Loved it. I
thought it was Stranger Things, tick the boxes.
I think it's some holes. Oh, most definitely.
Most definitely. And a lot of them came about
from this theory that all the fans were having.
Yeah, okay, I agree. Like in some of the images
you see, Mike's mother doesn't have the scars.
I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about
the theory on whether she lives or dies and stuff.
Do you want to elaborate and help me out and
tell me? So, Callie, you know, you don't know
whether she's dead or not. You assume she's dead
and then all of a sudden she's fucking back alive.
She looks like she's in the same room. But then
it's him telling the story. You don't know. Who's
Callie? The Indian girl who can project a mind.
Oh, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Callie, whatever
her name is. Yeah, like can she do that across
the rift? Yeah, she explains that she can. So
she's able to do that. And then when Elle does
it later on. It says earlier on in the episodes
that Elle was learning how to do that. Do what?
Well, you know how she projected? She brought
Mike into her little underworld without the bathtub.
Yep. So Carly was teaching her how to do shit
without the tub. Because I found that was one
of the biggest potholes ever. There's no fucking
water in there. And all of a sudden they're able
to find a fucking big pool. Come on. In what
episode? In the last one. Where she's in the
bloody container. She's in that massive pot thing.
Yeah. There's no water in that world. So why
the fuck is there that? Why is there no water
in that world? I don't know. They talk about
it earlier on. She's like, oh, I can't get anything
under there because there's no water, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah. And they go, oh, it's okay.
We've got a bathtub here, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And they fill that up. And that's not in. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, fuck, I forgot about that.
So there are holes. There are holes and there
are issues with it. To be brutally honest, I
really wish there was one more episode that they
were alluding to and that fixed all this up.
You don't need a happy ending. I could have just.
been as happy with seeing everybody die and him
just sitting on a throne at the end going, Like,
I wasn't disappointed with it. Yeah, me neither.
This is, like, I think she's dead. I think she's
dead. I don't think she survived. I think that's
all in Will's head. It's him kind of, him moving
on. Yeah. Kind of accepting her kind of situation.
But when you want her to be dead. You'd want
her to be dead. No, you'd want her to be happy
somewhere. Oh, God, no. Because then you could
run into her accidentally one day. Like, nah,
if she's gone, I'll never see her again. And
my nose will never bleed. My head won't explode
when I meet the love of my life and move on.
And she comes back and goes, hey, I've missed
you. And then she explodes the head of your wife
and your kids. Your fucking rabbit that you bought
for your six -year -old kid is just exploding
in a cage. Kills all your grass. Yeah, fair.
Yeah, see? No, it's still. Dead. I can imagine
in his situation he'd want her to be alive and
happy somewhere. No. Because now he can't masturbate
over her as well. If she's dead, he can't masturbate
over her anymore. If he thinks she's alive, he
can still masturbate over her. But it's weird
to masturbate over your dead ex -girlfriend.
Okay. Apparently. I'll take your word for it.
I've seen some movies. I've heard some things.
Yeah, fair enough. And that's kind of all I watched,
but I've been playing some video games. Wow.
Okay. Hit me with it. By the way, guys, we will
be going and seeing Avatar 3. We haven't had
a chance to see it together yet. And there's
another movie I want to see at the cinema as
well that we haven't had a chance to see yet
either, and I've forgotten the name of it. But
I want to see Avatar in 3D. What other video
games should we be playing? Well, only one video
game, sorry. So we bought Landon and Switch for
Christmas, or Switch 2. It was a game that I've
always wanted to play that I have not played
it for a long time. Fuck me. You got zoldered,
didn't you? I did. Breath of the Wild. It is
sensational. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I only
get to play like maybe an hour, hour and a half
every other night, but it's my return to gaming
for... For a long time. Have you wrapped it up?
It's kind of hard to wrap it up when you're being
a fucking inconsiderate jerk. I've never played
it. Hey? I've never played it. It's a good little
game. I mean, it's fucking, I think it's massive.
It's not a little game, but like it's. You've
never played Ark, have you? No. Yeah, but like
for a fan of D &D and Lord of the Rings and fantasy
in general, it's just fucking right up my alley.
Why don't you have Baldur's Gate? Because I've
got nothing to play on. What the fuck's over
there recording our shit? It's full of our shit.
Two terabytes of it. I'll buy you another SSD.
I am buying a PC very shortly. It'll do it. I'm
buying a PC very shortly. And then we buy Baldur's
Gate 3. Because Baldur's Gate 3 is D &D. I am
100 % aware. And then we have a new D &D game
coming out. Oh, dude. How good does it look?
Did I send it to you the other day? Yeah, I'd
seen it before, but yeah. Did you see the virtual
reality game coming out as well? I thought I
sent it to you. That burp is going to fucking
stink too. I'm sorry. Just tell me about the
game. Like, what is it? Instead of looking to
see if you sent it to me. No, I did send it to
you. It's just that you don't care. Maybe I didn't
send it to you. I'm sorry. Yeah, I didn't think
so. What virtual reality game are you talking
about? So that's the D &D game I sent you. What?
There was this one. Oh, yeah, yeah, the VR. Yeah,
you did send that to me. I don't know how else
to say that I sent you the VR one and you go,
oh, yeah, the VR one, you sent it to me. I was
thinking about a video game, not a VR board game.
Okay, I stand corrected. We're talking about
a video game, like a AAA video game, straight
into a virtual reality tabletop. I didn't realise
that's what you're talking about. Sorry. Are
you going to continue? About Breath of the Wild?
Breath of the Wild? Breath of the Wild? No. You
can never talk about that ever again. Why? Because
it's like six years old. Oh, man. It holds up.
Guess what game I bought. Landon's fucking loving
it. Guess what game me and Logan bought? He's
obsessed. We bought Avatar. Fucking gorgeous.
Sensational. So beautiful. I thoroughly recommend.
Yeah, right. I have seen so many things in the
Breath of the Wild. I've seen a lot of people
when you make your little hoverboard thingies,
they make dicks. That's not Breath of the Wild.
That's the next one. Cheers of time. Oh, there
you go. Yeah. And there's another one out now.
There's three of them for the Switch console.
Why? Just make a fucking expansion pack. It's
28 games total. And he still can't get it right.
This is a soft reboot. What is he trying to get
to? He's trying to get to the... So you wake
up in a chamber that you've been rejuvenating
in. Because something had gone down, you wake
up with no memories. Classic. So lazy. Kind of.
And basically you start gaining your memories
back when you talk to people and stuff like that.
There is this entity called Climity Ganon who
is like this big fucking smoke beast. Ganon's
a bad guy in like a lot of Zelda games. And for
the past century... Zelda, the princess who has
powers, has been holding him off, waiting for
her knight to return to help her out. And I gather
that Link is this knight? Yep. So 21 games, you
say? Mm -hmm. How the fuck has he never got back
to her? Well, no, so that's this game. That's
this game. So a lot of them are kind of based
around that. So this is a sequel to Ocarina of
Time, which came out in... 98 on the 64. There's
direct parts from that game. So there's a whole
lot of games in between that are kind of based
on that IP that aren't directly related. This
is a soft reboot for the past eight games. Eight
games, yeah, I think so. On console and handheld.
I don't know why they need 21 games to tell a
story. One character. Different stories. One
character. Two characters, Link and Zelda. Basically,
yeah. Basically, Link wakes up. He's got to get
back to Zelda. Something's happened. Sorry, Mario.
You're in a different castle. Nintendo, get a
different story. Like James Bond. Fucking Goldeneye.
Goldeneye was a great game. Dude, Logan loves
it. We play split screen on his Switch all the
time. Fucking golden -eyed dude. What does it
look like, though? Is it great? Do they reskin
it? No, it still looks shit. When are they talking
about doing a reskin? Oh, it's updated for the
newer consoles and that, but it still looks that
shit. But it's not flat square faces? Yeah. No,
I'm pretty sure they were talking about. No,
no, no. No, no, that was the remaster they did.
No, no, no, you get the. So I'll show you. It's
easier to explain by showing you. See it. It's
still fucking trashy. Yeah. It's still so good.
Like everything is basically the same. Played
so much of those. So good. And the controls are
even worse now. Because you know how you had
your trigger and the aiming stick? Well, now
your trigger's on the left and the aiming stick
is also on the left. So ADS, which is aim down
sight, is your right trigger. It's stupid. And
you can't map the buttons out, which is annoying.
Are you inverted? God, no. Can you remember inverted
for games? I'm inverted. I fucking invert. I
don't like default. I invert. I don't know. It
just makes sense. If I'm flying a plane, it's
inverted. Yeah, for everything. Stick up to look
down. No wonder you're fucking backwards, dude.
But, sir, that, I could literally fill your ear
with shit that I've been, I've watched. But I
really wanted to go and see Avatar 3D, but Rach
hates 3D movies. She can't watch 3D. So I got
me mate to, I'm not going to tell you his name
because it could go to jail, downloaded me the
3D version of Avatar. Must be good, mate. Fucking
legendary, mate. And he didn't even download
the small one. Downloaded the fucking 32 gig
one. Fucking legend. Anyway. 36, I heard. 36,
was it? Yeah, it could have been 36. And fucking
brilliant. It looks so good on the MetaQuest,
man. Nice. So much so that I ordered my MetaGlasses
today. Because I need new Oculus. I need new.
Like the Ray -Ban ones? Yeah. Yeah, right. But
I've got me prescription lenses to go in them.
Nice. Best part about them, though, they're electro
-darkening glasses. So they're prescription,
but when I go out in the sun, they darken. Ooh,
very nice. So it just looks like I'm wearing
multiple pairs of glasses, but it's just one
because they're super special. And when we're
at the beach and Dave Burks and his bungee smugglers
and his tits are hanging out, I just have to
go double tap and fucking record that. Save that
for later. Yeah, straight to the bank. But, yeah,
that's all I've watched there. Yeah, that's all
I've got. I promise I'll do better this week,
guys. You might watch some stuff of quality.
Or not. Anyway, so you won't see this version
of us on Friday for Rent and Sundry. We did record
some stuff with our friends Lingyi and Tan. We
did. You may have seen the Christmas special.
There was also what was meant to be an end -of
-year special, but I ran out of time. So now
we're just going to replace. Start of year special.
Start of year special. We're going to replace
our rant and sundry with probably three weeks
of past ranting. That's all right. Because fuck,
we ranted. Oh, yes. Not so much rant. I think
it was an hour and 50 minutes of content. Holy
shit. I'll have to add it down. Just put it all
up. Just cut it in threes. Straight down the
middle. Don't even edit it. Just give them all
the noise. Blank screen to be continued. Yeah.
Tune in next Friday. I'm so glad to be back,
dude. And I can't wait to come back and do this
again next week. Hell yeah. We'll see you then.
Life, peace, chicken grease.
