WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.000 From the Dungeons of Morningstar, I'm Clint. 00:00:02.140 --> 00:00:05.379 I'm Tom. I'm Ling. And I'm Stretch. And this 00:00:05.379 --> 00:00:08.080 is Prevailing Strange. Not the Christmas edition! 00:00:16.379 --> 00:00:22.519 Alright guys, so we've got a bit of a special, 00:00:22.820 --> 00:00:27.460 probably to wrap up the year. The idea is to 00:00:27.460 --> 00:00:30.039 kind of go over... Maybe what's coming out this 00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:31.620 year and just having a little talk with some 00:00:31.620 --> 00:00:34.159 friends. Fuck yeah, dude. The amount of content 00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.020 that we've got to cover this, just this last 00:00:36.020 --> 00:00:38.799 six months of the year is insane. I don't know 00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:40.159 where this is going to go. It's going to go off 00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:42.380 the rails quick, I think. We're going to need 00:00:42.380 --> 00:00:44.840 more memory cards, my friend. Before we get into 00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.179 things, we will introduce our guests. Oh, we 00:00:47.179 --> 00:00:49.719 better. Yeah. So who have you brought in today, 00:00:49.780 --> 00:00:51.560 Craig? Well, this is my friend Tarn. I've known 00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:53.920 Tarn since I was about eight years old. I think 00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.740 it was, what, year two you came to? Year four 00:00:56.740 --> 00:00:59.299 I came to. Year four? Cessnaught. Just as long 00:00:59.299 --> 00:01:01.020 as you have an own town. I've known Lingy for, 00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:03.280 I've known Lingy since kindergarten. Kindergarten? 00:01:03.500 --> 00:01:05.719 Yeah, but we're born and bred Cessnaught. We 00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:09.019 didn't move here. Oh, so sort of grew here, flew 00:01:09.019 --> 00:01:10.420 here sort of thing. Were you going to stash out 00:01:10.420 --> 00:01:13.219 in the car park? You're not from Currie, so it 00:01:13.219 --> 00:01:16.079 doesn't matter. I did. Actually, I played for 00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:18.319 the Currie Currie Bulldogs in my juniors. All 00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:19.939 right, you didn't need a car park. Yes, I did. 00:01:20.780 --> 00:01:23.719 But, yeah, so Lingi always had, like, the older 00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:25.500 siblings where I was the older sibling in my 00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:28.319 family. So there was that kind of trickle feed 00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:32.400 down of culture and stuff. Yeah. So I learnt 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:36.079 a lot of shit from Lingi back in the day. I know 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.540 this guy. It wouldn't have been good. It would 00:01:39.540 --> 00:01:42.359 have been shifty as shit. Passed down a lot of 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:43.640 good knowledge from my brothers. You remember 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:48.900 going through Jono's love letters? The jeans. 00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:52.719 I do remember that. What was her name? Vicky? 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.140 Was it Vicky? It was. I couldn't tell you who 00:01:56.140 --> 00:01:59.700 the author of that particular note was. She liked 00:01:59.700 --> 00:02:02.579 the way Dick looked in his jeans. Did you say 00:02:02.579 --> 00:02:08.919 Vicky? Yeah. She was with... That's Slingy. That's 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.560 Slingy's brother. No way. That's Jono Link's 00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:15.340 brother, yeah. No way. Because I used to live 00:02:15.340 --> 00:02:20.620 next door. To your grandmother. Used to teach 00:02:20.620 --> 00:02:24.060 piano. Yeah, Nan Jones. Yeah. Holy crap. What 00:02:24.060 --> 00:02:26.139 a small world. She's still living there. It is 00:02:26.139 --> 00:02:31.280 Cessnock. Yeah. No, I remember I used to go walk 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:33.939 my daughter to do me piano lessons. There you 00:02:33.939 --> 00:02:38.259 go. Oh, wow. Boy, it is great to be actually 00:02:38.259 --> 00:02:41.500 known for something other than incest now. Well, 00:02:41.500 --> 00:02:44.419 I mean, I did move to Cessnock, but I'd move 00:02:44.419 --> 00:02:47.900 to Cessnock as like a... A tyke. Yeah. So I've 00:02:47.900 --> 00:02:53.039 got no family relations here. I think I do. My 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:56.400 granddad had like eight brothers. Chances are 00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:00.479 high. I was at work up near Musselbrook and I 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.939 was chatting to a dude and he had the same name 00:03:02.939 --> 00:03:07.020 as me. Yeah, Matt Lean. And I was just chatting 00:03:07.020 --> 00:03:09.319 to him and he's like, oh, yeah, we're probably 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:11.159 related. I'm like, well, my granddad had eight 00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.199 brothers. I told him where I'm from and he's 00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:16.460 like, yeah, we're related. Except he owned a 00:03:16.460 --> 00:03:18.900 local Chinese shop instead. Oh, yeah, because 00:03:18.900 --> 00:03:22.060 of my last name. It's Ling. It sounds kind of 00:03:22.060 --> 00:03:24.520 Asian. And at one point, like, half the dudes 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.620 in my old workshop thought that my mum ran the 00:03:26.620 --> 00:03:30.419 local takeaway. That is what we were telling 00:03:30.419 --> 00:03:33.159 them. Well, fair enough. Run with the joke. I 00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:35.099 have the opposite problem. I've never met another 00:03:35.099 --> 00:03:38.560 Tarn, so my name is. I've met heaps of Tarnays. 00:03:38.659 --> 00:03:43.080 Yeah, I've heard Tian, Tarnay. Yeah, but not 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.180 a. Yeah, we went to school with the Tian, didn't 00:03:45.180 --> 00:03:48.120 we? Yeah, we did, yeah. And then there was, yeah, 00:03:48.259 --> 00:03:51.960 and Tani. Was there a Tani? Yeah. I don't remember 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:55.639 a Tani. Yeah. Yeah, so movies are coming out 00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.300 this year. I kind of agree, like there was some 00:03:58.300 --> 00:04:00.460 good stuff, but I think the best stuff I've seen 00:04:00.460 --> 00:04:02.979 this year has been older stuff. Agreed. Yeah, 00:04:02.979 --> 00:04:06.319 exactly, yeah. Like just the release date, 2025, 00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:10.599 all the movies. Yeah, there has been the couple 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:12.639 that have been great, but nothing stood out for 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.780 me as an absolute hit. Like it's going to be 00:04:15.780 --> 00:04:19.660 something I'll remember and watch again. Yeah, 00:04:19.660 --> 00:04:22.779 there wasn't like an anthem. No. Yeah, I was 00:04:22.779 --> 00:04:26.420 even thinking about like the best movies, like 00:04:26.420 --> 00:04:29.100 probably the most recent one, Frankenstein. I 00:04:29.100 --> 00:04:31.319 haven't watched that yet. Haven't? I haven't 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:34.240 watched that yet. I'm keen. Apparently it's beautiful. 00:04:34.459 --> 00:04:39.339 It's beautiful. It's the prettiest movie. Not 00:04:39.339 --> 00:04:42.220 as good as some of his other stuff, but he's 00:04:42.220 --> 00:04:46.680 restricted with what he's doing because it seems 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.660 like he's followed the book a fair bit. What 00:04:50.660 --> 00:04:53.839 a kick -ass director. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Him and 00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:59.620 Nolan, for a director's pick, they're my go -to 00:04:59.620 --> 00:05:02.579 men. I'd have to agree with that. Oh, man. Robert 00:05:02.579 --> 00:05:05.230 Edgar. Or Eggers. Yeah. How the fuck you say 00:05:05.230 --> 00:05:07.569 his name? Yeah. Eggers. Have you watched any 00:05:07.569 --> 00:05:09.329 of that yet? You like his stuff, don't you? Oh, 00:05:09.350 --> 00:05:11.829 man. I watched all four of his movies back to 00:05:11.829 --> 00:05:14.009 back. That was sick. But again, a very, very 00:05:14.009 --> 00:05:16.769 Tim Burton where you can, it seems you can pick 00:05:16.769 --> 00:05:20.769 him as the director just by like a screen cap 00:05:20.769 --> 00:05:24.230 of the movie more or less. No, they've all got 00:05:24.230 --> 00:05:26.569 different tones, man. You reckon? Is that his 00:05:26.569 --> 00:05:31.649 gorilla? Del Toro dude. Yeah. The dude Frankenstein, 00:05:31.649 --> 00:05:33.990 right? Yeah, Gwenamon. Yeah, so have you guys 00:05:33.990 --> 00:05:36.930 watched Trollhunters? Yes. I watched that ages 00:05:36.930 --> 00:05:38.889 ago before I even had kids and I loved it. Yeah. 00:05:39.089 --> 00:05:41.370 I think I watched a few episodes after you said 00:05:41.370 --> 00:05:43.269 it was good. It wasn't bad. Hang on, are you 00:05:43.269 --> 00:05:46.310 talking about the movie or the animated? Animated. 00:05:46.509 --> 00:05:50.430 Television series. No, that was Troll. Trollhunter. 00:05:51.170 --> 00:05:53.610 Trollhunter. Was there a Trollhunter movie? Yeah. 00:05:54.329 --> 00:05:58.040 Yeah, it was like a found footage. Isn't it called 00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.439 Troll? No, that's just Troll. Yeah, there's a 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:01.920 second Troll. No, no, you're getting confused. 00:06:02.339 --> 00:06:05.819 Troll Hunters is a kid's show. I'm getting confused, 00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:07.899 aren't I? There's a few seasons of Troll Hunters, 00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:09.680 but they did actually do a movie of Troll Hunters 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:11.420 as well. So that's where I got confused. Yeah, 00:06:11.500 --> 00:06:13.079 and then there was other spin -offs from that 00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.639 Troll Hunters. Yeah, one about wizards, one about 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:21.660 sorcerers, maybe? No, aliens. I loved it because 00:06:21.660 --> 00:06:24.480 my kids started watching it. And, you know, when 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:29.060 your kids are picking up shows. Some you just, 00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:33.819 like, you cannot stand to watch. But this one 00:06:33.819 --> 00:06:37.339 was one I was like, oh, I'll sit here, I'll watch 00:06:37.339 --> 00:06:40.259 this one. And I got right into it and it was 00:06:40.259 --> 00:06:42.860 really good. I'd already seen it, but I'd only 00:06:42.860 --> 00:06:46.779 watched the couple of Troll Hunter seasons. And 00:06:46.779 --> 00:06:48.279 then when Harriet got a bit older, I'm like, 00:06:48.339 --> 00:06:49.879 let's watch this. And she got in and I'm like, 00:06:49.899 --> 00:06:51.540 yes. And then we watched all the spin -offs and 00:06:51.540 --> 00:06:52.860 everything and watched the movie. It was great. 00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:55.519 You didn't want to get her involved in your stuff, 00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:59.240 like? Game of Thrones. Well, yeah, she's watching 00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:01.920 them all. No, I'm kidding. She probably agrees 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:04.420 with everybody, mate. That was shit. She kept 00:07:04.420 --> 00:07:05.959 saying she wanted to watch Wednesday, and I'm 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:07.660 like, no, there's like monsters and dead people 00:07:07.660 --> 00:07:10.800 in it. How old is she? Six. Wednesday's pretty 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.420 good. Well, anyhow, the missus is like. The first 00:07:14.420 --> 00:07:16.399 one. The second one wasn't that great. I haven't 00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:18.680 watched the second one. The first one's okay. 00:07:18.860 --> 00:07:20.660 It's like a soft introduction to monsters and 00:07:20.660 --> 00:07:22.939 stuff. Anyway, the missus is like, no, she can 00:07:22.939 --> 00:07:26.220 watch it. And I'm like, all right, fine. Nah, 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.240 she was right. She loved it. I thought that was 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.519 a very pretty TV show, man. Yeah. I thought that 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.339 looked good. It's different, though, these days, 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.240 I think, with kids and movies. Like, I know what 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:40.279 I grew up on, and there's no way, no way I would 00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:44.480 let my kids watch that stuff. I would, but my 00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.800 missus won't, so that's... But, like, my kids 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:50.240 have been... Yeah, exactly. That's what I think. 00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.040 I've been watching It and fucking... Oh, I watched 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.279 some fucking horrible shit back in the day. But, 00:07:55.339 --> 00:07:57.480 like... My missus let the kids watch Jurassic 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:01.379 Park from day dot. That's horrific. People die 00:08:01.379 --> 00:08:03.459 and, like, it's pretty fucking gory. In the hundreds. 00:08:03.540 --> 00:08:07.800 No, that's nothing. But then she wouldn't let 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:10.180 me kids watch, like, the Marvel movies because 00:08:10.180 --> 00:08:13.100 there are people fighting. That doesn't make 00:08:13.100 --> 00:08:17.040 sense. Oi, hang on, hang on. There is logic to 00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:18.139 it. This is the thing. There is logic to it. 00:08:19.339 --> 00:08:22.120 You're able to, you know, disband your belief 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.899 because there's dinosaurs. We know there's not 00:08:24.899 --> 00:08:26.860 dinosaurs in the world. But if it's a person 00:08:26.860 --> 00:08:29.180 punching a person, that exists in the real world, 00:08:29.220 --> 00:08:31.899 so it's a bit different. I do understand that. 00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.980 In saying that, the Predator Badlands movie, 00:08:35.139 --> 00:08:38.639 it's got a lower rating because they're not killing 00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:41.240 people. We actually spoke about this. And when 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.139 we spoke about it being PG. You blew up. I blew 00:08:45.139 --> 00:08:48.259 up. What the fuck? It's not actually PG. What 00:08:48.259 --> 00:08:51.470 is it? It's M. It's PG in the States. Oh, right, 00:08:51.549 --> 00:08:53.629 okay. They've got a, what is it, PG -13 rating. 00:08:53.629 --> 00:08:55.450 Yeah, they all sell their shootings in school, 00:08:55.509 --> 00:08:59.129 so it doesn't really matter. Their ratings, we 00:08:59.129 --> 00:09:04.450 don't abide by those. But, like, another way 00:09:04.450 --> 00:09:06.470 of looking at it too, right, you watch Jurassic 00:09:06.470 --> 00:09:09.269 Park, it's a dinosaur eating a person. Technically 00:09:09.269 --> 00:09:10.649 that's their food source. What's the difference 00:09:10.649 --> 00:09:12.090 between that and watching a documentary where 00:09:12.090 --> 00:09:15.049 a lion's chasing a gazelle? It's not. But would 00:09:15.049 --> 00:09:20.929 you let your kids watch Cujo? Probably. No. What's 00:09:20.929 --> 00:09:24.830 going to go? Whoa. Stephen King, man. The feral 00:09:24.830 --> 00:09:27.450 fucking St. Bernard that gets rabies and kills 00:09:27.450 --> 00:09:29.129 everybody in the car. It's pretty old, though. 00:09:29.129 --> 00:09:31.289 And it's got Stephen King. It's like 83 or something. 00:09:31.450 --> 00:09:34.070 Is it anything like Man's Best Friend? No, but 00:09:34.070 --> 00:09:36.450 it's like it's Stephen King, so there's a whole 00:09:36.450 --> 00:09:41.789 heap of weird tones. I think the difference would 00:09:41.789 --> 00:09:43.830 be the fact that dogs are real and you could 00:09:43.830 --> 00:09:47.120 have, like. That fucking poor girl in Singleton. 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:49.500 You're going to be attacked by dogs anyway. And 00:09:49.500 --> 00:09:52.460 the fact that dinosaurs were real but aren't 00:09:52.460 --> 00:09:54.480 real anymore is probably the kind of, like you 00:09:54.480 --> 00:10:00.059 said, you can suspend your belief because, yeah. 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:02.919 But for me, though, with Jurassic Park, there's 00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:06.720 no blood. This is true. The only time that when 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.519 the dinosaur did attack a human, it was like, 00:10:09.539 --> 00:10:14.549 come down, grab him. That was probably the most 00:10:14.549 --> 00:10:16.809 involved part. I'm going to say something, though, 00:10:16.850 --> 00:10:18.450 and yous are all going to know what I'm saying. 00:10:19.009 --> 00:10:24.330 A, B, A, C, A, B, B. We had that code when we 00:10:24.330 --> 00:10:26.350 were fucking seven. Mortal Kombat? Yeah. I was 00:10:26.350 --> 00:10:29.169 about to say the gore. The gore code. Put it 00:10:29.169 --> 00:10:31.950 into the menu. A, B, A, C, A, B, B. Every one 00:10:31.950 --> 00:10:33.789 of us had that code when we were fucking seven 00:10:33.789 --> 00:10:36.750 years old. But that's the thing. We had shows 00:10:36.750 --> 00:10:38.970 like Jurassic Park back in the day, and we all 00:10:38.970 --> 00:10:41.289 used to watch like Aliens and shit. But then. 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:45.220 I've never seen aliens. You fucking what? Whoa. 00:10:46.059 --> 00:10:48.919 I forgot about that. Anyway. No, no, we're not 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:51.700 fucking skipping over that. No, no, no, no, no. 00:10:51.940 --> 00:10:54.159 We're not fucking skipping over what you just 00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.440 said. I was about to give him the benefit of 00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.659 a doubt and think he hasn't actually seen a real 00:10:58.659 --> 00:11:03.700 alien, but... No. I'm thinking it's more the 00:11:03.700 --> 00:11:06.980 movies than TV shows. Please elaborate on what 00:11:06.980 --> 00:11:10.860 you just said. I think Jeremy was talking. Yeah, 00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:13.139 we'll get back to that in a second. We won't 00:11:13.139 --> 00:11:20.460 let that fucking fly. So you fucking cunts. Anyway, 00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:26.759 what the fuck? No, I knew that. Just aliens or 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:30.220 alien aliens, Alien 3, Alien Resurrection? I 00:11:30.220 --> 00:11:32.340 think I've seen bits and pieces. Like I understand 00:11:32.340 --> 00:11:35.240 they're aliens and they're like blood's acid 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:41.370 and stuff. Oh, my friends once took me to the 00:11:41.370 --> 00:11:44.389 movies to see Prometheus. That would have made 00:11:44.389 --> 00:11:47.710 no sense if you had no idea what you were going 00:11:47.710 --> 00:11:51.029 into. You needed the other movies to understand. 00:11:51.429 --> 00:11:54.330 Yeah. I like Prometheus. I liked it too. Yeah. 00:11:54.389 --> 00:11:57.269 But, again, I probably wouldn't, in your case, 00:11:57.450 --> 00:12:00.490 I would not have liked it if I never saw Alien 00:12:00.490 --> 00:12:05.029 1, 2, 3. Yeah. Speak on it, Clint. Speak on it. 00:12:05.070 --> 00:12:08.950 Don't just sit there like a stunned mullet. That's 00:12:08.950 --> 00:12:17.129 not fucking possible. Apparently it is. He needs 00:12:17.129 --> 00:12:20.769 an education. You're a fucking geek. How can 00:12:20.769 --> 00:12:28.149 you not have watched Alien? Well, I didn't. It's 00:12:28.149 --> 00:12:30.889 that easy, Clint. We're going to need a fucking 00:12:30.889 --> 00:12:36.129 break. I've seen Predator versus Alien. No, that 00:12:36.129 --> 00:12:39.340 doesn't count. What was I going to say before 00:12:39.340 --> 00:12:42.159 that whole fucking thing blew up? It was good 00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:44.860 too. Fuck me. What I was going to say, though, 00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:47.379 getting back to, like I was saying, with kids 00:12:47.379 --> 00:12:51.700 and what we watched when they were younger, kids' 00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:55.500 movies back for me and around my age included 00:12:55.500 --> 00:12:58.100 such things as Never Ending Story. Oh, yeah. 00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.080 We've talked about this before. Have you seen 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.580 that? Yeah, but I don't remember it. You don't 00:13:05.580 --> 00:13:07.799 remember the racing snail, the rock eaters, or 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:10.220 the fucking falcor? I remember the rock eaters 00:13:10.220 --> 00:13:13.000 and falcor. And Freyu, motherfucker. Freyu and 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:16.580 the fucking horse. Oh, my God. Artax, motherfucker. 00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:20.539 Pull one out for our homies. My daughter, like, 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:23.559 cries in every movie. I will not show her that 00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:28.519 because I know how devastating. That scene is 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:31.980 for me, and that was when I was younger. That 00:13:31.980 --> 00:13:36.320 was the first movie I cried in. That sort of 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:39.879 tone of what was a kid's movie back then is not 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:44.080 it. Dark Crystal. Yes. Fucking, yeah. Fuck, dude. 00:13:44.100 --> 00:13:48.419 They were demonic. Yeah. Yeah. I remember thinking. 00:13:48.860 --> 00:13:54.159 The Gmork, for fuck's sake. Yeah. I thought my 00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:56.960 son, when he was younger, was. mature enough 00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:59.919 and, you know, he'd watched fucking Jurassic 00:13:59.919 --> 00:14:01.659 Park for fucking Christ's sake since he was a 00:14:01.659 --> 00:14:04.960 kid. Okay, it's a bunch of puppets. This will 00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:09.679 be sweet. I put on Dark Crystal. Yeah, no. Not 00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.320 good. Not sweet. No. Not sweet. Jim Henson done 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:16.460 a great job. And the first Ninja Turtles movie, 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:18.519 he couldn't stand that either. The puppets were 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.059 too much for him. I haven't shown him for a long 00:14:22.059 --> 00:14:23.980 time. That was when he was about four, but yeah. 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:27.259 Yeah, right. That's too much. Man, I love that 00:14:27.259 --> 00:14:29.620 movie and I reckon it still holds up today. Holds 00:14:29.620 --> 00:14:35.299 up, dude. 100%. They nailed that design. Every 00:14:35.299 --> 00:14:37.620 character. Every single character. The story 00:14:37.620 --> 00:14:41.100 was done well, everything. When they brought 00:14:41.100 --> 00:14:43.429 up the reboot. And they started doing these massive 00:14:43.429 --> 00:14:46.049 fucking 10 -foot tall, 11 -foot tall, 12 -foot 00:14:46.049 --> 00:14:48.870 tall CGI fucking things. Monstrosities, yeah. 00:14:49.090 --> 00:14:50.529 They're supposed to be ninjas and they've got 00:14:50.529 --> 00:14:52.629 all this fucking clattery, knackery shit hanging 00:14:52.629 --> 00:14:55.750 off their belts and all this shit. Yeah. Fuck 00:14:55.750 --> 00:14:57.809 you, Michael Bay. Yeah, no, Michael Bay destroyed 00:14:57.809 --> 00:14:59.750 everything. You destroyed fucking my childhood. 00:14:59.950 --> 00:15:02.929 At least he didn't make them aliens. Yeah. That 00:15:02.929 --> 00:15:05.450 is a fucking good thing. But the funny thing 00:15:05.450 --> 00:15:07.850 is, like, you see that meme of Teenage Mutant 00:15:07.850 --> 00:15:09.490 Ninja Turtles, you know, ninjas are supposed 00:15:09.490 --> 00:15:12.070 to be quiet and stealthy, but fucking here's 00:15:12.070 --> 00:15:16.950 the turtle blimp. It's the toys. It's like, yeah, 00:15:17.049 --> 00:15:20.509 okay, that's a bit of a contradiction. Turtle 00:15:20.509 --> 00:15:22.649 garbage truck. Yeah. Speaking of turtles, did 00:15:22.649 --> 00:15:26.269 you hear that they've actually canned? Yeah. 00:15:26.409 --> 00:15:30.570 Oh, fuck off. Yeah, dude. The one thing I was 00:15:30.570 --> 00:15:33.129 so excited about, they were going to do so well. 00:15:33.169 --> 00:15:37.929 And they're going to do like a live action, but 00:15:37.929 --> 00:15:40.250 they want it to be like Sonic the Hedgehog. Yeah, 00:15:40.250 --> 00:15:43.710 they want to emulate that success. Yeah. I did 00:15:43.710 --> 00:15:46.889 hear that they are still going to do The Last 00:15:46.889 --> 00:15:50.159 Ronin. I heard it's been shelved. I don't know 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:51.720 whether we'll ever see it. I just heard that 00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:54.299 you're going to change it up. They're going to 00:15:54.299 --> 00:15:56.139 go back to the drawing board. And I'm like, no. 00:15:56.299 --> 00:15:57.980 Just leave it. Because the way they had it, it 00:15:57.980 --> 00:16:00.299 was going to be an adult. You could have ran 00:16:00.299 --> 00:16:01.679 that concurrently. You could have done it side 00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:05.519 by side. You could have doubled your fucking 00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:07.559 double dipped. You could have had the adult. 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:09.860 You could have had the kids. And you would have 00:16:09.860 --> 00:16:12.200 had the kids with the adults anyway. Adults are 00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:13.860 going to take their kids. There's so many cool 00:16:13.860 --> 00:16:16.080 ideas we watched as cartoons as young that would. 00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:19.700 Mate, such good gritty. Like a mice from Mars. 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:22.779 That's exactly what I was fucking thinking. Gargoyles. 00:16:23.019 --> 00:16:28.000 Fucking gargoyles. Let's go. Come on. Yeah. So 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:30.220 many great properties. Fucking street sharks. 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:32.679 But do you know what I think holds all of that 00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:37.419 back is the fact that most of them were brought 00:16:37.419 --> 00:16:39.679 in as properties to sell toys. Oh, yeah. The 00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:41.919 fact that the toys aren't around anymore. And 00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:44.360 I don't know whether. Could see a resurgence 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:46.620 in the toys. Hasbro or whoever owns the rights 00:16:46.620 --> 00:16:50.799 to them these days, what they're going to, whether 00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:53.000 they'll ever fucking want to go down that path 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:54.960 because action figures aren't a big thing anymore. 00:16:55.179 --> 00:16:59.019 No, not really. But I think I mentioned this 00:16:59.019 --> 00:17:01.440 a while ago. I would love to see like a shared 00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:04.779 universe, like a Hasbro, like all the toys. Get 00:17:04.779 --> 00:17:07.480 them all and do like a Marvel Cinematic Universe 00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:10.609 type thing. G .I. Joe fucking Transformers. Well, 00:17:10.609 --> 00:17:12.650 they did do that in one of the Transformers. 00:17:12.650 --> 00:17:15.609 They did bring in some of the G .I. Joe as a 00:17:15.609 --> 00:17:18.990 hint. Yeah. But, like, oh, man, it could be cool. 00:17:19.089 --> 00:17:21.569 Yeah, dude. Yeah, instead of having, like, the 00:17:21.569 --> 00:17:25.069 helpless fucking human that escorts him, could 00:17:25.069 --> 00:17:27.769 you imagine the Autobots beside fucking G .I. 00:17:27.769 --> 00:17:30.769 Joe going against Cobra and fucking and shit 00:17:30.769 --> 00:17:32.369 and stuff like that? It would be fucking cool. 00:17:32.410 --> 00:17:34.250 Oh, yeah. The only problem is you've got to get 00:17:34.250 --> 00:17:37.829 rid of Michael Bay. He's got to just leave shit 00:17:37.829 --> 00:17:42.150 alone. Yeah. I mean, he did some good stuff back 00:17:42.150 --> 00:17:45.230 in the day, but he fucking molested the Transformers. 00:17:45.230 --> 00:17:47.730 Yeah, but Michael Bay wasn't alone back in the 00:17:47.730 --> 00:17:51.130 day. Wasn't he? No, Michael Bay worked with Jerry 00:17:51.130 --> 00:17:54.670 Buckheimer with it. And Orky. No, it wasn't the 00:17:54.670 --> 00:17:56.750 two. There was two, Michael Bay and was it Jerry 00:17:56.750 --> 00:17:58.910 Brackheimer back in the day? They used to do 00:17:58.910 --> 00:18:01.150 movies together. I'm trying to think. Oh, yeah, 00:18:01.210 --> 00:18:03.670 I don't know. They were a duo, and most of the 00:18:03.670 --> 00:18:05.450 big movies, Days of Thunder and all that, there 00:18:05.450 --> 00:18:08.230 was a duo, Michael Bay and him. Oh, man, Days 00:18:08.230 --> 00:18:10.369 of Thunder. Yeah, so that was good. I haven't 00:18:10.369 --> 00:18:12.750 seen it. So you had Michael Bay doing all the 00:18:12.750 --> 00:18:14.329 action scene, and then you had the other guy. 00:18:14.329 --> 00:18:15.710 I'm surrounded by fucking children. With Jerry 00:18:15.710 --> 00:18:20.009 Brackheimer, who did a lot of the heart feel 00:18:20.009 --> 00:18:23.000 to it. So together they worked well. When they 00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:25.680 went their separate ways, it did not go well. 00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:29.980 Right, okay. Because, yeah, Michael Bay is just 00:18:29.980 --> 00:18:32.920 bang, bang, boom, boom. Yep. I think the best 00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:36.380 thing Michael Bay gave us was the song out of 00:18:36.380 --> 00:18:40.339 Team America. Was that from Michael Bay? No, 00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:42.779 but they wrote it about Pearl. Oh, about it, 00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:48.519 yeah. And that's why Pearl Harbor sucks. And 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:53.170 I miss you. Actually, I did, um, thinking about, 00:18:53.210 --> 00:18:56.930 I already read the other day, um, the whole Matt 00:18:56.930 --> 00:19:00.410 Damon. Yeah. There was an interview and they 00:19:00.410 --> 00:19:03.289 asked about that whole thing. And it's like, 00:19:03.390 --> 00:19:05.450 we just couldn't come up with a voice. And we 00:19:05.450 --> 00:19:08.950 just finally just said, oh, Matt Damon. It said, 00:19:08.990 --> 00:19:12.329 we have no ill will. We actually like Matt Damon. 00:19:13.170 --> 00:19:15.869 We just couldn't do his voice, and that's the 00:19:15.869 --> 00:19:17.730 only thing that came out, and we decided to go 00:19:17.730 --> 00:19:21.390 with that. Some of the watching behind the scenes 00:19:21.390 --> 00:19:23.309 for South Park and the writing rooms and stuff 00:19:23.309 --> 00:19:25.730 like that. So frantic. Did you ever see the video 00:19:25.730 --> 00:19:28.329 where they went to an awards ceremony on acid, 00:19:28.390 --> 00:19:31.029 dressed up? Dressed in dresses. And every time 00:19:31.029 --> 00:19:32.630 they mentioned something, you just go, it's just 00:19:32.630 --> 00:19:36.990 a beautiful night. It's magical. Every question 00:19:36.990 --> 00:19:38.890 was like, we're just so honored to be here. It's 00:19:38.890 --> 00:19:43.250 such a musical. Magical name, so magical. We 00:19:43.250 --> 00:19:46.269 got invited and we thought it would be a great 00:19:46.269 --> 00:19:50.210 idea for our first awards ceremony to drop acid. 00:19:52.190 --> 00:19:54.269 All right, we'll probably try and get on some 00:19:54.269 --> 00:19:57.910 topics. We won't stick to what came out this 00:19:57.910 --> 00:19:59.970 year because we've already kind of said that 00:19:59.970 --> 00:20:03.069 it wasn't the best year for movies. But I don't 00:20:03.069 --> 00:20:04.730 know, what have you checked out this year that 00:20:04.730 --> 00:20:07.769 has been your favourite thing? K -pop Demon Hunters. 00:20:10.129 --> 00:20:12.430 I would say that the first time I watched it, 00:20:12.450 --> 00:20:15.269 but after watching it 20, 30 times with my kids, 00:20:15.309 --> 00:20:19.390 I do not want. I find myself bopping along and 00:20:19.390 --> 00:20:22.329 I'm ashamed. I haven't watched it, so. I'm not 00:20:22.329 --> 00:20:24.009 going to lie. Harriet and I both watch it like 00:20:24.009 --> 00:20:26.170 20 times and I'll watch it 20 times happily. 00:20:26.450 --> 00:20:29.490 It is good. We ride around in the car and we 00:20:29.490 --> 00:20:32.849 blare it loud as hell. I have to admit there's 00:20:32.849 --> 00:20:36.430 many times on my Spotify feed it will come in. 00:20:37.069 --> 00:20:39.950 To my music. And it'll be halfway through it. 00:20:40.029 --> 00:20:42.230 I'm like, I'm singing Longway. I'm like, wait 00:20:42.230 --> 00:20:47.309 a minute. What am I doing? All my kids' playlists 00:20:47.309 --> 00:20:50.329 are on the do not influence anything else on 00:20:50.329 --> 00:20:52.789 my fucking shit. How do you do that? You just 00:20:52.789 --> 00:20:54.569 go into the fucking. Because my YouTube has been 00:20:54.569 --> 00:20:57.589 fucking molested. Yeah, I don't know about YouTube. 00:20:58.089 --> 00:20:59.930 Spotify, you can do it. I'm actually thinking 00:20:59.930 --> 00:21:01.869 of changing over to Spotify just to start fresh 00:21:01.869 --> 00:21:04.910 again. Because I'm sick of it. Yeah. Yeah, I 00:21:04.910 --> 00:21:07.480 think. Probably the best movie I've seen this 00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:10.539 year has been Marrowbone. Fucking same. Hands 00:21:10.539 --> 00:21:11.859 down. Hands down. It's a fucking great movie. 00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:14.099 Oh, so we're not talking just movies coming out 00:21:14.099 --> 00:21:15.380 this year. No, no, that's what I'm saying. The 00:21:15.380 --> 00:21:17.160 things that came out, not just what came out 00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:19.240 this year, this year, what have you seen? Yeah. 00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:22.880 Okay. Honestly, I second that. Marrowbone was 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:26.700 such a strong, strong, strong film, man. And 00:21:26.700 --> 00:21:29.059 it come out of nowhere. If I seen that in my 00:21:29.059 --> 00:21:31.119 feed and it's like stuff you might like, and 00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:32.740 I'd just seen the title of it and looked at that 00:21:32.740 --> 00:21:35.880 opening photo. I wouldn't have clicked on it. 00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:38.259 I would have just breezed past it like every 00:21:38.259 --> 00:21:40.779 other drama that I've seen. And, mate, it blew 00:21:40.779 --> 00:21:44.519 me away. It was absolutely incredibly well done, 00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:47.380 well written, well acted, well performed, just 00:21:47.380 --> 00:21:50.380 perfect all around for me. It was good. I was 00:21:50.380 --> 00:21:52.359 very happy that you recommended that because 00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:54.779 that forced me to watch it. I have to agree. 00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:58.480 That was, yeah, such a good movie. It blew me 00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:02.799 away, man. Behind that would be Robert Edgar's. 00:22:03.690 --> 00:22:06.190 Back catalogue that I watched. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, 00:22:06.309 --> 00:22:10.769 definitely. But you still sticking with K -pop 00:22:10.769 --> 00:22:12.390 Demon Hunters or have you watched anything else 00:22:12.390 --> 00:22:14.849 this year? No, I watched a few movies on the 00:22:14.849 --> 00:22:19.470 plane over to China. Nothing that stands out 00:22:19.470 --> 00:22:21.450 though? You know the actor that played Short 00:22:21.450 --> 00:22:24.769 Round in Indiana Jones? Yeah, yeah. He's been 00:22:24.769 --> 00:22:27.230 doing some good stuff. Yeah. He was in a movie, 00:22:27.349 --> 00:22:29.230 I think it might have been called Love Hurts 00:22:29.230 --> 00:22:31.789 maybe. Yeah, he was in another one. Everything, 00:22:31.930 --> 00:22:36.650 everywhere. That was fucking ballistic. The best 00:22:36.650 --> 00:22:39.609 part about that, right, is at one point they're 00:22:39.609 --> 00:22:41.690 in a fight scene and this dude is going to jump 00:22:41.690 --> 00:22:45.309 on something so it goes up his bum. Right? Now, 00:22:45.369 --> 00:22:47.509 just saying that sentence, if you haven't seen 00:22:47.509 --> 00:22:49.529 that movie, you would have no idea. But the way 00:22:49.529 --> 00:22:51.769 they tell the story so well, you know exactly 00:22:51.769 --> 00:22:54.069 what's going to happen when that does. You know 00:22:54.069 --> 00:22:56.869 what I mean? Yeah. They did such a good job. 00:22:57.089 --> 00:22:58.450 It was a brilliant movie, dude. If you walked 00:22:58.450 --> 00:23:00.210 in halfway through that movie, it would just 00:23:00.210 --> 00:23:02.849 be like, what the fuck? You couldn't catch up. 00:23:02.950 --> 00:23:05.329 No, but it goes so weird, but they explain it 00:23:05.329 --> 00:23:08.549 so well. I love that movie. It was a great movie. 00:23:08.730 --> 00:23:11.470 It was phenomenal. Actually, funnily, I watched, 00:23:11.630 --> 00:23:13.630 because I haven't watched it yet, last night, 00:23:13.690 --> 00:23:16.930 Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. I won't 00:23:16.930 --> 00:23:20.309 bother. Why not? No, it's actually good. I actually 00:23:20.309 --> 00:23:24.430 enjoyed it. I felt it, compared to the last Indiana 00:23:24.430 --> 00:23:31.250 Jones, this was more closer to the older stuff. 00:23:31.829 --> 00:23:34.410 That's like saying having my arm chopped off 00:23:34.410 --> 00:23:37.630 was bad, but it wasn't as bad as losing everything 00:23:37.630 --> 00:23:42.150 below my waist. They both sucked. So you've watched 00:23:42.150 --> 00:23:45.630 Old Destiny? Yeah. I thought it was actually 00:23:45.630 --> 00:23:48.630 pretty good. I thought it had the old action. 00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:51.579 scenes that they usually have and the same story. 00:23:51.619 --> 00:23:54.000 The only thing is Harrison Ford is getting a 00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:58.279 bit older. But there was a rumour, actually, 00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:01.839 when you said short round, he, with his success, 00:24:01.900 --> 00:24:03.559 actually thought he was going to make an appearance 00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:05.579 because there was a lot of old characters that 00:24:05.579 --> 00:24:07.579 come back in it. And it was disappointing. I 00:24:07.579 --> 00:24:08.920 think that would have made it a bit better if 00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:10.700 he did. But, yeah, no, I didn't mind it, actually. 00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:13.220 I thought it was all right. That was the worst 00:24:13.220 --> 00:24:16.720 fucking analogy I've ever heard. Yeah, it was 00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:22.359 pretty fucking bad, I know. I sat here and I'm 00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:23.839 listening to this conversation and I'm like, 00:24:23.940 --> 00:24:29.759 what the fuck is that? And it just was a joke 00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:32.880 that I kept pulling myself in the head. I enjoy 00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:36.099 a lot of the pop culture references from Indiana 00:24:36.099 --> 00:24:39.119 Jones, but it's not my favorite IP back in the 00:24:39.119 --> 00:24:42.640 day. And the Crystal Skull sucked. Oh, that was 00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:45.599 bad. Yeah, that sucked. Yeah, that was bad. So, 00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:46.980 yeah, I'm not really interested in watching the 00:24:46.980 --> 00:24:51.089 new one. Okay. Well. I'm a massive fan of Last 00:24:51.089 --> 00:24:55.410 Crusade. Sean Connery was absolutely brilliant 00:24:55.410 --> 00:24:57.349 in it. Sean Connery. Yeah, and it's hilarious. 00:24:57.529 --> 00:24:59.930 I liked it, but yeah. Is that the one where Indy 00:24:59.930 --> 00:25:02.269 does nothing at all to influence the storyline? 00:25:02.470 --> 00:25:06.089 Yeah. That's pretty much most of them. The first 00:25:06.089 --> 00:25:08.670 one, definitely, because, yeah, they end up opening 00:25:08.670 --> 00:25:11.130 the box anyway. Sorry, yeah, it is the first 00:25:11.130 --> 00:25:13.730 one, yeah. That one I didn't like. I did like 00:25:13.730 --> 00:25:17.599 Temple of Doom. I think Temple of Doom is the 00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:19.180 one I watched most as a kid at my grandparents' 00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:22.920 place. And I love that scene. I even heard in 00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:25.880 an interview the scene where he's on that bridge 00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:29.559 and he's got his whip and they tried many times 00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:33.279 him doing this sequence where he uses the whip 00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:36.240 against him and I think it was on like the 20th, 00:25:36.380 --> 00:25:39.960 30th, whatever. Hey, he's just like, he was tired 00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:41.740 of it. He just pulled out his gun and shot him 00:25:41.740 --> 00:25:47.910 and they're like. That's it. That's it. I didn't 00:25:47.910 --> 00:25:49.430 mind it when I was a kid, but it's not something 00:25:49.430 --> 00:25:52.130 I'd return to. Not like things like Terminator 00:25:52.130 --> 00:25:54.910 and Alien. I gotcha. I gotcha. It's a big trilogy 00:25:54.910 --> 00:25:57.210 I watched as a kid, but I also watched the shit 00:25:57.210 --> 00:26:03.710 out of Karate Kid. Yes, and that was the one 00:26:03.710 --> 00:26:05.029 that came out this year. I actually didn't mind 00:26:05.029 --> 00:26:07.009 too. That was, well, I haven't even. I still 00:26:07.009 --> 00:26:08.829 haven't watched it yet. Yeah, me neither. Oh, 00:26:08.869 --> 00:26:10.650 yeah, no, I didn't mind it. It's not amazing. 00:26:10.910 --> 00:26:13.390 It's not as good as the original. It couldn't 00:26:13.390 --> 00:26:15.910 be. No, but it was probably better than the. 00:26:16.349 --> 00:26:18.710 Does he have a K -pop demon on his lunchbox? 00:26:19.769 --> 00:26:23.269 I've got Harriet's. Oh, it's a sniggle. We've 00:26:23.269 --> 00:26:28.650 got a fridge, bro. Fridge right over here. But, 00:26:28.710 --> 00:26:34.559 I mean, Jackie Chan and. What's his name? Ralph 00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:36.960 Macchio. And Ralph Macchio together. It was good. 00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:39.720 I had a good time. Oh, the new movie. Yeah, the 00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:42.079 new movie, yeah. Because I did actually think 00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:46.779 in the new Karate Kid, I thought Jackie Chan 00:26:46.779 --> 00:26:50.240 was amazing in it. They were very emotional. 00:26:50.839 --> 00:26:52.819 I don't know. Have you seen that one with? No. 00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:56.220 No. Not the new one, like the one before that 00:26:56.220 --> 00:26:59.200 with. Will Smith's Kid. Will Smith's Kid, yeah. 00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:04.609 There was a scene. Yeah. But Jackie Chan had 00:27:04.609 --> 00:27:08.289 a very emotional part with his son dying and 00:27:08.289 --> 00:27:13.109 his wife dying in a car crash. So he rebuilds 00:27:13.109 --> 00:27:17.950 the car every year and then destroys it. Because 00:27:17.950 --> 00:27:20.869 it's what took his family away was that car. 00:27:20.990 --> 00:27:22.569 And it was a very emotional scene. And I thought 00:27:22.569 --> 00:27:26.009 Jackie Chan showed some chops. He actually can 00:27:26.009 --> 00:27:28.569 act and he wants to. Oh, yeah. And that was very 00:27:28.569 --> 00:27:31.619 emotional. And I'm like, that was good. The rest 00:27:31.619 --> 00:27:35.700 of it, not so much. Trash. I think I'm going 00:27:35.700 --> 00:27:37.579 to go watch that. I would think you'd want to 00:27:37.579 --> 00:27:40.480 just do that. It seems fucking great. Oh, yeah. 00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:43.160 Oh, you haven't seen it? No. Oh, okay. That's 00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:44.680 really good. I think that sounds like a great 00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:46.619 story element, that. That sounds incredible. 00:27:46.900 --> 00:27:51.140 I'm so glad they brought Jackie Chan into, which, 00:27:51.299 --> 00:27:55.119 you know, because of the success of the TV show 00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:58.599 now with Karate Kid, bringing that all together, 00:27:58.700 --> 00:28:00.920 I thought that was really good. And it was a 00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:02.980 good watch. I wouldn't say it's amazing, but 00:28:02.980 --> 00:28:04.640 it was a good watch. I love Jackie Chan, man. 00:28:04.779 --> 00:28:07.559 Oh, yeah. I grew up watching Karate Kid, and 00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:10.960 then somebody told me about Cobra Kai, and I 00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:13.259 was watching it in bed on my laptop, and I was 00:28:13.259 --> 00:28:15.299 starting to contemplate whether to call in sick 00:28:15.299 --> 00:28:17.960 the next day. I was just fucking loving it. Dead 00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:19.779 set, dude. Oh, the first two or three seasons, 00:28:19.900 --> 00:28:22.119 absolutely phenomenal. And the way they actually 00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:25.200 go back to, like, the apartment building out 00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:27.359 of the movie. Yeah, right. And, like, they do 00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:29.980 such a good job of respecting the original material. 00:28:29.980 --> 00:28:31.700 You know how sometimes they're like, we're going 00:28:31.700 --> 00:28:34.200 to do a show about these movies from X amount 00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:36.079 of years ago, and it's just a cash -in. It's 00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:38.099 just shit. It's just gut. Do they have the real 00:28:38.099 --> 00:28:41.480 Karate Kid in it? Yes. He's, like, the main character 00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:45.759 in season one. Yes. No, it's fucking good. Yeah, 00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:47.160 it's really good. Fucking Billy Zabka, mate. 00:28:47.740 --> 00:28:51.380 Oh, man. Have you seen it? No. I'm just a great 00:28:51.380 --> 00:28:53.640 fan of his work, mate. William Zabka all the 00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:57.200 way. Seriously, man. Check it out. Start watching 00:28:57.200 --> 00:28:59.460 Karate Kid. I'm not going to say anything. I 00:28:59.460 --> 00:29:01.779 don't want to spoil it. I've seen Karate Kid 00:29:01.779 --> 00:29:04.279 and Karate Kid 2. Sorry, I didn't mean Karate 00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:06.599 Kid. I meant to say Cobra Kai. Sorry, I keep 00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:12.420 mixing them up. How I Met Your Mother. Who was 00:29:12.420 --> 00:29:15.460 the... Barney Stinson. Yes. He'd be very happy 00:29:15.460 --> 00:29:19.440 with it. That's all I'm going to say. Barney 00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:21.839 would be very, very happy with it. Billy Zabke 00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:26.630 gets these come -ups. Yeah. Okay, so maybe we'll 00:29:26.630 --> 00:29:31.069 talk some growing up as a kid in the 90s. Fucking 00:29:31.069 --> 00:29:35.970 best years ever. 90s, 80s. 80s, 90s, yeah. Like 00:29:35.970 --> 00:29:39.289 end of, beginning of, you know, the good times. 00:29:39.630 --> 00:29:42.029 90s and noughts, mate. Fucking Jesus. What a 00:29:42.029 --> 00:29:46.849 couple of decks. Man, 90s for movies, noughties 00:29:46.849 --> 00:29:51.829 for music. Yeah. But, yeah, what kind of. Got 00:29:51.829 --> 00:29:55.829 you guys into pop culture. You've obviously mentioned 00:29:55.829 --> 00:29:59.670 fucking Karate Kid and Indiana Jones. Well, I'd 00:29:59.670 --> 00:30:02.309 have to actually go further back to get back 00:30:02.309 --> 00:30:05.549 to what brought me into pop culture. I know as 00:30:05.549 --> 00:30:09.769 a kid I used to watch The A -Team, Knight Rider. 00:30:10.049 --> 00:30:13.930 Oh, fucking Knight Rider, yeah. And they did 00:30:13.930 --> 00:30:16.250 have an original Spider -Man cartoon back then. 00:30:16.390 --> 00:30:20.259 And Voltron. Voltron was a big one. I remember 00:30:20.259 --> 00:30:24.400 having an Ultron toy. Yeah, dude. Well, I didn't 00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:27.579 just have the normal Voltron. My parents bought 00:30:27.579 --> 00:30:31.380 me the metal one. Oh, fuck. Kill a kid with that 00:30:31.380 --> 00:30:34.339 shit. Yeah. Fucking wrecking. And it was great 00:30:34.339 --> 00:30:38.039 until my mum stepped on the head and snapped 00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:41.859 it off. And I'm like, nah. But that was, God, 00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:43.640 I wasn't even in Cessna then, so I would have 00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:46.200 been kindergarten back in that day for those 00:30:46.200 --> 00:30:48.519 sort of things. Yeah, and all the cats and fucking. 00:30:48.660 --> 00:30:52.049 Yeah. Voltron was the best. And do you remember 00:30:52.049 --> 00:30:55.109 the robot that had the cars and it had the arm? 00:30:55.549 --> 00:30:57.630 Yeah, and all the cars would come out of the 00:30:57.630 --> 00:31:00.750 hands and shit. Yeah. You ever see that? It's 00:31:00.750 --> 00:31:03.309 like a matchbox. Hang on. Yeah, you look it up. 00:31:03.470 --> 00:31:05.990 Nah, I never watched Voltron. What about you, 00:31:06.009 --> 00:31:08.569 Ling? What was the kind of stuff that you realised 00:31:08.569 --> 00:31:10.750 that that shit scratched your brain instead of 00:31:10.750 --> 00:31:15.190 watching football or something like that? He 00:31:15.190 --> 00:31:18.990 could define pop culture. Man, anything that 00:31:18.990 --> 00:31:22.029 you reference back, it's popular with most people, 00:31:22.069 --> 00:31:26.089 like it can be cartoons, it can be TV shows, 00:31:26.150 --> 00:31:31.809 movies. Yeah, no, mostly it was Wilming Brothers 00:31:31.809 --> 00:31:33.529 and that I'd watch. Yeah. Because, you know, 00:31:33.589 --> 00:31:35.369 I was the youngest, so what was on TV is what 00:31:35.369 --> 00:31:39.220 I watched. Yeah, fair. I mean, like of a morning 00:31:39.220 --> 00:31:41.460 or an afternoon. Fuck off. Like when you see 00:31:41.460 --> 00:31:43.799 morning cartoons or afternoon cartoons, what 00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:45.980 were you watching back then? Card games, you 00:31:45.980 --> 00:31:48.960 motherfucker. Yeah. Every afternoon I'd get home 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:52.140 and watch Beast Wars and Power Rangers. Ah, Beast 00:31:52.140 --> 00:31:54.640 Wars. That was good. I remember watching that. 00:31:54.680 --> 00:31:56.940 I never really watched the Transformer cartoons 00:31:56.940 --> 00:31:58.740 because I think they were mostly on mornings 00:31:58.740 --> 00:32:00.140 maybe and I didn't watch cartoons anymore. Story 00:32:00.140 --> 00:32:03.339 matchboxes and it's limbs and shit. Yeah. Badass. 00:32:04.019 --> 00:32:07.130 But yeah, I think. $100 at your local Salver 00:32:07.130 --> 00:32:10.549 store. Even Transformers was more 80s, I think, 00:32:10.589 --> 00:32:13.029 wasn't it? 80s and 90s. 80s and 90s, yeah. I 00:32:13.029 --> 00:32:16.829 had the movie on VHS, and I think I watched it 00:32:16.829 --> 00:32:19.210 more than the cartoons back in the day. Oh, I 00:32:19.210 --> 00:32:21.430 remember watching that at your house. Yeah. You 00:32:21.430 --> 00:32:27.470 got the touch! You got the power! Fucking 84, 00:32:27.910 --> 00:32:31.509 yo. You remember hanging out at your place and 00:32:31.509 --> 00:32:36.309 watching Evangelion? Oh, yeah. How old were you 00:32:36.309 --> 00:32:40.890 then watching Evangelion? Man, maybe seven or 00:32:40.890 --> 00:32:44.150 eight. Oh, wow. Definitely primary school. Yeah. 00:32:44.230 --> 00:32:46.029 Because that was more of a high school thing 00:32:46.029 --> 00:32:50.670 for me. Yeah. So my dad had always been a big 00:32:50.670 --> 00:32:53.089 fan of movies and stuff like that. So we'd watch 00:32:53.089 --> 00:32:56.769 like SBS would have a lot of cult classics and 00:32:56.769 --> 00:32:58.710 shit on back in the day on the Friday and Saturday 00:32:58.710 --> 00:33:01.470 nights. And they played it Friday and Saturday 00:33:01.470 --> 00:33:03.289 night. Yes. Some really good stuff. There's some 00:33:03.289 --> 00:33:05.009 really good content. Especially when you were 00:33:05.009 --> 00:33:09.130 13 and 14. Hell, yeah. I still remember erotic 00:33:09.130 --> 00:33:12.190 ghost stories. I was still waiting three days 00:33:12.190 --> 00:33:14.190 for a fucking hopeless picture of Jerry Howell. 00:33:16.289 --> 00:33:19.410 But, yeah, I think we were watching, like, we 00:33:19.410 --> 00:33:22.049 went through doing, like, Godzilla movies and 00:33:22.049 --> 00:33:24.809 shit for a few weeks and the old King Kong movies. 00:33:24.930 --> 00:33:28.700 And then they started putting on. Anime movies 00:33:28.700 --> 00:33:30.559 and I think the first one I watched was Akira. 00:33:30.740 --> 00:33:38.640 Yeah And then they started advertising this new 00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:41.140 show coming out called Neon Genesis Evangelion 00:33:41.140 --> 00:33:44.599 and I was like giant robots and that's what my 00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:47.579 fucking childhood was about giant robots transformers 00:33:47.579 --> 00:33:51.900 Robotech Technomania Robotech. Yeah. Yeah. Well 00:33:51.900 --> 00:33:55.819 matchbox to the old Robotech. Did you watch Robotech? 00:33:55.819 --> 00:33:59.410 Yeah Fucking loved it. It was on Agro's Cardoon 00:33:59.410 --> 00:34:01.369 Connection. Every morning, I would not go to 00:34:01.369 --> 00:34:03.490 school until I watched it after that. And the 00:34:03.490 --> 00:34:10.329 only reason was I had the video on VHS many years 00:34:10.329 --> 00:34:12.750 before they actually put it on TV. And I only 00:34:12.750 --> 00:34:15.130 had the first two videos showing the first three 00:34:15.130 --> 00:34:17.309 or four episodes. And I watched them over and 00:34:17.309 --> 00:34:19.949 over and over again, but never knew how it finished. 00:34:20.210 --> 00:34:22.610 So then when I saw it come on to Agro's Cardoon, 00:34:22.630 --> 00:34:25.389 I'm like, oh, my God. I had to watch everything. 00:34:27.059 --> 00:34:30.639 Blew me away that ending was so sad. I don't 00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:33.539 even think I've ever seen the ending. So it's 00:34:33.539 --> 00:34:35.179 pretty interesting. So it was back in the day 00:34:35.179 --> 00:34:39.119 when America would go over to Japan and buy the 00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:41.500 rights to anime and then bring it back and they'd 00:34:41.500 --> 00:34:44.579 dub it and they wouldn't really edit it but they'd 00:34:44.579 --> 00:34:47.159 have to change like dialogue to kind of fit and 00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:49.539 it fucking was pretty clunky back in the day. 00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:52.400 So they took three different properties and made 00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:56.409 one property out of it. Yeah, right. Robotech, 00:34:56.409 --> 00:34:59.170 their first season was based on Macross, I think 00:34:59.170 --> 00:35:01.110 it was the first one. Yep, the Macross bugger. 00:35:01.130 --> 00:35:04.250 Yeah, and then there was another Macross that 00:35:04.250 --> 00:35:08.610 they picked up for the second season. They just 00:35:08.610 --> 00:35:10.909 called it Robotech Season 2. And then the third 00:35:10.909 --> 00:35:12.969 one was a completely different property. Yeah. 00:35:13.050 --> 00:35:16.070 And it was based in a different time, like future, 00:35:16.329 --> 00:35:18.789 but they called it Robotech anyway. Yeah, right. 00:35:18.929 --> 00:35:22.829 And they changed character names and rewrote 00:35:22.829 --> 00:35:25.280 the story and stuff like that. So I remember 00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:28.900 watching it as a kid and then seeing it at Video 00:35:28.900 --> 00:35:33.960 Easy, this Macross movie. I'm like, that looks 00:35:33.960 --> 00:35:35.800 like Robotech. What the fuck's going on? And 00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:37.739 this is before internet, so I hide and watch. 00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:42.119 I'm like, I don't know what's going on. But, 00:35:42.179 --> 00:35:45.059 yeah. Which one was better, Macross or Robotech? 00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:48.820 I mean, I only watched the movie. I didn't watch 00:35:48.820 --> 00:35:51.460 the actual series. Yeah, yeah. So I can't speak 00:35:51.460 --> 00:35:54.039 on that. But Robotech was fucking all the way 00:35:54.039 --> 00:35:55.980 back in the day, yeah. Well, the first one anyway. 00:35:56.019 --> 00:35:58.920 I think I lost it after the second one because 00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:01.840 the second season didn't follow the main characters 00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:04.039 from the first season. That fell off for me. 00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:09.599 They did do the movie after that. Many, many, 00:36:09.639 --> 00:36:12.039 many years. And Mark Hamill was actually a voice 00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:14.119 on it too. Yeah, Mark Hamill, man, was a big 00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:17.900 guy for fucking anime back in the day. Yeah, 00:36:17.900 --> 00:36:21.579 right. So The Guyver was an anime manga and that. 00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:23.280 And then he made the live action. I remember 00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:26.500 watching that one. Yeah. Once again at your house. 00:36:26.619 --> 00:36:31.559 Yeah. When we were nine. Yeah. Shouldn't be watching 00:36:31.559 --> 00:36:34.760 that. We used to go to Jeremy's house, right? 00:36:35.179 --> 00:36:38.880 And then. Would we go to Allendale to visit your 00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:40.559 mum or something? Yeah, mum was working night 00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:42.280 shifts and shit. And we'd run up and down the 00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:45.400 hallways. It smelled like piss. Then we'd go 00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:48.260 to Video Easy. Yeah. Then we'd go to Video Easy. 00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:51.260 Fuck yes, dude. Grab a heap of horror movies 00:36:51.260 --> 00:36:52.920 and stuff that we probably shouldn't have been 00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:55.500 watching and then go watch them. It was great. 00:36:55.659 --> 00:36:58.440 Did you grow up to be a fuckwit? Not at all. 00:36:58.539 --> 00:37:00.360 I think I'm pretty good. I think you're pretty 00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:01.900 good. Yeah, no, no, no. I think you're pretty 00:37:01.900 --> 00:37:04.300 good. There he goes, right? I don't know if he 00:37:04.300 --> 00:37:08.099 does. Yeah, so fucking. We'd just run wild in 00:37:08.099 --> 00:37:10.420 Video Easy because, you know, mum started working 00:37:10.420 --> 00:37:12.820 again after we'd started school. So that's what 00:37:12.820 --> 00:37:15.320 happened. Mum and dad didn't work when I was, 00:37:15.340 --> 00:37:16.860 no, sorry, dad worked when I was little when 00:37:16.860 --> 00:37:18.900 we first moved to Cessna. Yeah. Hurt his back, 00:37:19.019 --> 00:37:21.300 didn't work. Mum didn't work. She was at home 00:37:21.300 --> 00:37:23.440 with both of us kids. Then we started school. 00:37:23.579 --> 00:37:25.539 Once we both were at school, mum went back to 00:37:25.539 --> 00:37:28.539 work. So my brother's in kindergarten. He's five 00:37:28.539 --> 00:37:31.280 -year -old. And we're fucking, mum's working 00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:33.739 fucking. And that's why Nick has the black ball. 00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:38.519 Yeah. And Dad's like, oh, we'll get some movies. 00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:40.320 And he just didn't give a fuck about what we 00:37:40.320 --> 00:37:43.320 watched. And we watched some pretty out there 00:37:43.320 --> 00:37:46.280 shit from a young age. Do you remember the cartoon 00:37:46.280 --> 00:37:51.159 Beastly Behaviour? Yeah. No. That was sexual 00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:54.579 education. No. Was that it? No. That was where 00:37:54.579 --> 00:37:57.139 I came from. Oh, watch Where I Come From. Oh, 00:37:57.159 --> 00:37:59.099 I knew that one. Watch that at school. It was 00:37:59.099 --> 00:38:00.960 about like a documentary about animals having 00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:03.179 sex, but it was done in a very crude way. And 00:38:03.179 --> 00:38:07.440 it was fucking hilarious. Yeah. Oh, that's a 00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:10.239 card. That'll be fine. What was one I picked 00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:17.460 up from Video Easy? It was a puppet. Puppet Master? 00:38:17.739 --> 00:38:21.619 No, no, it was like a... Muppet movie? It was 00:38:21.619 --> 00:38:26.420 a rip -off. Was it the Herbie's or something 00:38:26.420 --> 00:38:30.250 or the Ferrell's? No, no, no. What was it? Oh, 00:38:30.250 --> 00:38:32.329 no, it's going to kill me. Yeah, it's a parody 00:38:32.329 --> 00:38:33.969 of The Muppets or something, wasn't it? And it 00:38:33.969 --> 00:38:37.090 was dirty as all hell. Yeah. It was vomit and 00:38:37.090 --> 00:38:40.789 everything. Oh, it was so... And who was it? 00:38:40.829 --> 00:38:45.630 It was... Who was the director? Peter Jackson? 00:38:45.849 --> 00:38:48.329 Peter Jackson directed it too. Oh, that movie. 00:38:48.469 --> 00:38:51.389 Yeah, that was... What's it called? Yellow Cover, 00:38:51.570 --> 00:38:53.769 Alien on the front. They're eating vomit and 00:38:53.769 --> 00:38:55.309 shit. Yeah, what was that called? And it was 00:38:55.309 --> 00:38:57.400 all puppets. Oh, yeah, it was fucking messed 00:38:57.400 --> 00:38:59.619 up. It was the first ever movie. Yeah, yeah. 00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:02.039 It's a cult classic. Oh, yeah. Oh, sounds like 00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:05.099 it. I was way too young to be watching that. 00:39:06.300 --> 00:39:09.260 I mean, it had puppets on the cover. Like, what 00:39:09.260 --> 00:39:11.440 am I? It was like a puppet thing. No, it's not. 00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:13.639 You didn't pay attention to the little R in the 00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:19.500 corner? No. Or David did my parents. Dude, I 00:39:19.500 --> 00:39:22.239 reckon parody porn is still the best thing going. 00:39:22.420 --> 00:39:25.909 Bad taste. Bad taste. That's it. No, no, that's 00:39:25.909 --> 00:39:27.510 not the one. Maybe I'm thinking of something 00:39:27.510 --> 00:39:29.869 else. It must be. That was his first movie. No, 00:39:29.869 --> 00:39:32.829 it must be someone else's. And they're fucking 00:39:32.829 --> 00:39:35.570 going around, because it wasn't all puppets, 00:39:35.570 --> 00:39:37.429 and these fucking aliens were eating people's 00:39:37.429 --> 00:39:39.590 brains and shit, and it was like a send -up of 00:39:39.590 --> 00:39:42.269 a fucking zombie movie. Yeah, it's fucking pretty 00:39:42.269 --> 00:39:45.050 messed up. Maybe it wasn't Peter Jackson's first 00:39:45.050 --> 00:39:46.550 movie, and then he filmed Harry Potter. It was 00:39:46.550 --> 00:39:51.949 somewhat a fucking Hobbit. Yeah. One of the first 00:39:51.949 --> 00:39:54.130 parody movies that I've ever seen was one called 00:39:54.130 --> 00:39:58.889 Chicken Park. I've seen that. It wasn't an Australian 00:39:58.889 --> 00:40:01.570 movie. No, I think it was Brazilian and then 00:40:01.570 --> 00:40:04.429 it was dubbed. It was a Brazilian knockoff of 00:40:04.429 --> 00:40:06.789 Jurassic Park. It was so bad. Yeah, and then 00:40:06.789 --> 00:40:09.510 it was dubbed. There was tits in it and shit, 00:40:09.530 --> 00:40:11.630 but then there was some fucked up shit in it 00:40:11.630 --> 00:40:14.230 too. I'm like, what the hell is this? As a kid, 00:40:14.309 --> 00:40:16.650 I didn't understand what a parody was when I 00:40:16.650 --> 00:40:21.659 watched it. No, it was Peter Jackson. Yeah, okay. 00:40:21.820 --> 00:40:25.139 It's called Meet the Feebles. Meet the Feebles. 00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:28.340 That actually sounds familiar. There we are, 00:40:28.420 --> 00:40:30.900 Meet the Feebles by Peter Jackson. I remember 00:40:30.900 --> 00:40:36.099 that cover, yeah. And it was disturbing to say 00:40:36.099 --> 00:40:41.059 the least. That one was really bad, yeah. But 00:40:41.059 --> 00:40:43.219 I was probably in the same vein of bad taste, 00:40:43.300 --> 00:40:51.079 but yeah. Nice. Fuck me dead. Yeah. Good times. 00:40:51.820 --> 00:40:54.559 Wrap us up, sir. Right on. Okay. Thank you guys 00:40:54.559 --> 00:40:57.099 for joining us for this Prevailing Strange special. 00:40:57.800 --> 00:41:00.920 You'll see us. No, you would have already seen 00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:04.119 us for the holiday one. You'll see us in the 00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:05.900 new year.
