WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.879 From the dungeons of Morningstar, my name is 00:00:01.879 --> 00:00:04.919 Clint. And I'm Stretch, and this is Prevailing 00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:19.160 Strange. Welcome back guys to our Week in Review, 00:00:19.379 --> 00:00:21.199 a segment of Prevailing Strange where we get 00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:22.679 to talk about some of the content that we've 00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:25.019 checked out this week. What have we checked out 00:00:25.019 --> 00:00:29.839 this weekend? Alright, so... This week, I chose 00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:32.219 Begonia, so we're going to talk about Begonia 00:00:32.219 --> 00:00:39.259 today. So, it's a new sci -fi flick from 2025, 00:00:39.939 --> 00:00:45.619 quite satirical, quite dark, directed by Yorgos 00:00:45.619 --> 00:00:49.119 Lanthimos, a man who usually directs uncomfortable, 00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:53.539 unsettling, hard tension, awkward dialogue and 00:00:53.539 --> 00:00:54.979 making you laugh at things you really shouldn't 00:00:54.979 --> 00:01:00.369 be laughing at. So, what is Begonia? It's basically 00:01:00.369 --> 00:01:03.090 weird for being weird's sake, if you want my 00:01:03.090 --> 00:01:06.890 two bobs on it. It was directed by, like I said, 00:01:06.969 --> 00:01:10.530 Yorgos Lanthimos, produced by a long -time collaborator, 00:01:10.590 --> 00:01:13.329 Ed Geeney, alongside Andrew Lowe. The film reportedly 00:01:13.329 --> 00:01:17.890 is an English -language remake of a South Korean 00:01:17.890 --> 00:01:20.730 cult sci -fi comedy called Save the Green Planet. 00:01:22.209 --> 00:01:25.590 That alone should tell you something. Yeah. Stars 00:01:25.590 --> 00:01:31.840 Jesse Plemons. Emma Stone, yeah, it's been nominated 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.980 for Best Picture this year at the Oscars. Shit, 00:01:35.019 --> 00:01:38.799 okay. It's also been nominated for Best Original 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.140 Score. Okay. Emma Stone was nominated for Best 00:01:42.140 --> 00:01:47.379 Actress, and it was also nominated for Best Screenplay 00:01:47.379 --> 00:01:50.579 Adaption. Fair enough. You obviously didn't like 00:01:50.579 --> 00:01:56.200 it. Well, the movie centers on two conspiracy 00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.170 -obsessed, Men who kidnapped a powerful corporate 00:01:59.170 --> 00:02:02.909 executive, Emma Stone, because they believe she's 00:02:02.909 --> 00:02:05.989 an alien planning on destroying the earth. Simple 00:02:05.989 --> 00:02:10.110 premise, completely unhinged execution. But, 00:02:10.129 --> 00:02:13.469 yeah, I thought Emma Stone done a sensational 00:02:13.469 --> 00:02:18.530 job. And Jesse Plemons, holy shit, that dude 00:02:18.530 --> 00:02:21.050 can act, man. Yeah, I think they've both done 00:02:21.050 --> 00:02:23.629 really fucking well. And I'm surprised that we 00:02:23.629 --> 00:02:27.199 haven't got a best actor. nomination for Plemons 00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.979 in this because he got some chops. I think he's 00:02:30.979 --> 00:02:33.539 proved himself in this one. What would you give 00:02:33.539 --> 00:02:37.860 it out of five stars? Three. Three. I was going 00:02:37.860 --> 00:02:40.500 straight down the middle for three as well. Three. 00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:45.659 I agree. Jesse Plemons does deserve more praise, 00:02:45.699 --> 00:02:49.120 man. You haven't watched Civil War yet? No. No. 00:02:49.379 --> 00:02:53.560 He's in that for all of ten minutes and you instantly 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:58.199 hate him. And the worst part is he's acting opposite 00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:02.879 his wife in real life. And he just steals it. 00:03:03.020 --> 00:03:05.960 And when I've seen the trailer of this, I'm like, 00:03:06.099 --> 00:03:11.340 it's not telling you anything. It doesn't sell 00:03:11.340 --> 00:03:14.280 you that this is what it's about. Quite incel 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:19.280 -y at times. Heavy opening, fucking 10 minutes. 00:03:20.620 --> 00:03:24.900 But, dude, yeah, three. It was a solid movie. 00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:28.259 Yeah. I do not think it's going to get Best Picture. 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:32.300 If it does, all right. I mean, original score, 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:37.780 maybe, from what I've seen so far. I had so many 00:03:37.780 --> 00:03:41.099 jump scares in this movie because it could be 00:03:41.099 --> 00:03:44.800 quite quiet at times and then massive crescendo 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.759 out of nowhere. Very orchestral. Very kind of 00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:52.800 like throwback style soundtrack to it. Very operatic. 00:03:53.289 --> 00:03:55.389 Yeah, it's very different. Like when he's riding 00:03:55.389 --> 00:03:57.889 his bike towards the end of it. It's like, wow, 00:03:58.090 --> 00:04:02.150 this is just grinding on you for a completely 00:04:02.150 --> 00:04:05.729 different reason. Yeah. I can't comment on Scream 00:04:05.729 --> 00:04:07.830 Adaption because I haven't really seen the original. 00:04:08.009 --> 00:04:12.270 Me neither. Emma Stone? I mean, update. Actually, 00:04:12.270 --> 00:04:17.069 are we going in now? We'll go in, yeah. Actually 00:04:17.069 --> 00:04:20.230 shaved her head for this role, dude. Yeah, 100%. 00:04:20.230 --> 00:04:25.670 It's an indie film. It's not a massive film that's 00:04:25.670 --> 00:04:28.689 going to, well, it's getting Oscar buzz. Well, 00:04:28.750 --> 00:04:31.629 so this was his largest budget movie he's done 00:04:31.629 --> 00:04:33.529 to date. What was it, $40 million or something? 00:04:33.610 --> 00:04:36.649 $45 million they budgeted. I think there's reports 00:04:36.649 --> 00:04:40.029 that it bumped up as much as $55 million. Now, 00:04:40.089 --> 00:04:44.870 very low budget. There's no special effect. There 00:04:44.870 --> 00:04:47.829 are special effects, but. A lot of practical 00:04:47.829 --> 00:04:51.439 effects. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of practical effects. 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:58.639 Special effects, not so much. A lot of that would 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:03.500 have been cast. I can't see where that 40 mil 00:05:03.500 --> 00:05:07.800 comes in when you've got Iron Lung, which came 00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:10.959 out last month, and it was $3 million. So this 00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:13.360 thing was shot all over the world. It was London, 00:05:13.420 --> 00:05:17.000 America. What? Yeah, heaps of places. So the 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.500 house was built from scratch in America. Why? 00:05:20.779 --> 00:05:23.420 Yeah, a lot of the outside scenes are done in 00:05:23.420 --> 00:05:28.199 England. Yeah, so it's all over the place. It 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:30.319 could have just been filmed. It doesn't look 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.379 otherworldly, this movie. It looks like a hick 00:05:33.379 --> 00:05:36.319 -ass town in America. Yeah. Her home is in a 00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:40.319 different country, picked specifically for the 00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:43.540 fact that, you know, apparently he's some CEO 00:05:43.540 --> 00:05:47.019 who has weird tastes that aligned with what they 00:05:47.019 --> 00:05:50.149 wanted her values to be. The factory is in a 00:05:50.149 --> 00:05:53.509 different country. Like, yeah. They didn't just 00:05:53.509 --> 00:05:56.550 stick to, well, I mean. Far out. He's not American, 00:05:56.689 --> 00:06:00.149 so, you know. Who isn't? The director. Oh, no, 00:06:00.230 --> 00:06:03.230 he's not. No, you're right. So I think this is 00:06:03.230 --> 00:06:05.790 the first movie of his I've seen. But I was looking 00:06:05.790 --> 00:06:10.129 at him and, like, I know about the movies. So 00:06:10.129 --> 00:06:12.870 he did that Kinds of Kindness that came out last 00:06:12.870 --> 00:06:17.259 year that had. Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons in 00:06:17.259 --> 00:06:19.120 it. That's another thing. He's collaborated with 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:22.180 Emma Stone a lot. She's been in like four or 00:06:22.180 --> 00:06:24.199 five of his films. Yep. She was in Poor Thing. 00:06:24.339 --> 00:06:27.379 That was with Mark Ruffalo as well. Right. That 00:06:27.379 --> 00:06:31.879 was kind of like a psychedelic looking type of 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.920 thing where she looked a bit crazy in it or whatever. 00:06:35.620 --> 00:06:37.480 There was The Killing of the Sacred Deer with 00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:40.720 Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman. I'd heard about 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:43.509 it at the time, never watched it. And The Lobster 00:06:43.509 --> 00:06:48.810 with Colin Farrell and Rachel Weiss, who's been 00:06:48.810 --> 00:06:51.110 in a lot of his movies as well. So he seems to 00:06:51.110 --> 00:06:54.610 collaborate with a lot of people. Aidan Deblis 00:06:54.610 --> 00:06:58.170 plays the cousin. His name's Donnie. I thought 00:06:58.170 --> 00:07:02.290 he was so charming, dude. And there's a scene 00:07:02.290 --> 00:07:04.050 of his in the movie where he just completely 00:07:04.050 --> 00:07:13.560 steals the show. And then, fuck. Yeah. The director 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:15.699 decided he wanted to hire a non -professional 00:07:15.699 --> 00:07:20.819 person with... Really? Yes, with neurodivergent... 00:07:20.819 --> 00:07:23.060 He killed it, dude. He done such a good job. 00:07:23.100 --> 00:07:24.920 So they picked up this guy, yeah, and this is 00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:27.959 his first ever gig. And apparently there was 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:30.680 a point where the director's the first time he's 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:34.279 ever cried on set was because of this kid's presence 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:39.100 on set. Yeah, I get it. Yeah. Like, he did a 00:07:39.100 --> 00:07:41.180 good job. He really did, man. He wanted to bring 00:07:41.180 --> 00:07:45.480 in somebody non -professional to change up the 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:49.259 presence between Emma Stone and Jesse and, yeah. 00:07:49.620 --> 00:07:51.519 I would not have thought he wasn't a trained 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:54.720 actor. He'd done such a good job, man. And he 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:58.240 really brought a lot of heart, I thought. I could 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:02.000 tell he wasn't pro. I could tell that, you know, 00:08:02.100 --> 00:08:06.250 he was what he was. He's true to himself. because 00:08:06.250 --> 00:08:08.209 you look down the camera a couple of times. Yeah. 00:08:08.310 --> 00:08:12.009 I caught it. I'm like, I can suspend disbelief 00:08:12.009 --> 00:08:17.490 for that because he's doing really well. I did 00:08:17.490 --> 00:08:20.389 notice that the camera does linger really long 00:08:20.389 --> 00:08:22.569 on certain things and characters say the wrong 00:08:22.569 --> 00:08:24.769 things at the wrong time all the time and you 00:08:24.769 --> 00:08:27.589 just feel like your skin's itchy and you want 00:08:27.589 --> 00:08:32.440 to move your shoulders and shit. It plays into 00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:34.679 the idea of the conspiracy culture that is everywhere 00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.080 these days, man, all the way down to fucking 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:42.279 Ivan Mactan and podcasters saying shit. Like 00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:48.759 it's, it just, it really does say, it shows how 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:51.440 easy it is to spiral when you're the only one 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:54.600 that knows the truth about something. Exactly. 00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:58.740 You're Jesse Plemons in this. No, I'm not. I 00:08:58.740 --> 00:09:01.620 don't have red hair. You've got red hair. Yeah, 00:09:01.620 --> 00:09:04.340 that's right. And I'm not seven feet tall like 00:09:04.340 --> 00:09:06.759 Jesse Plemons. I know somebody seven feet tall 00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:09.000 like Jesse Plemons with red hair. I didn't expect 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.159 to see Alicia Silverstone playing his mother. 00:09:11.980 --> 00:09:15.679 Me neither. The cunting mother. Yeah. She dropped 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.539 the C word, yo. She's only 12 years older than 00:09:18.539 --> 00:09:23.159 him. Fucking hell. That was some weird flashbacks, 00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.889 weren't they? The floating. Holding like she 00:09:25.889 --> 00:09:29.230 was a balloon. Full of needles. What the fuck? 00:09:29.549 --> 00:09:34.210 Yeah, that's obviously the way he views things. 00:09:34.649 --> 00:09:36.870 I don't even know what was wrong with her. Was 00:09:36.870 --> 00:09:40.269 she schizophrenic? Was she a fucking drug addict? 00:09:40.409 --> 00:09:42.730 I think she had cancer. You reckon she had cancer? 00:09:43.230 --> 00:09:45.250 I think she'd been treated for something, wasn't 00:09:45.250 --> 00:09:47.169 she? Yeah. And whatever she was being treated 00:09:47.169 --> 00:09:50.350 for made her sick or? Yeah, it made her worse. 00:09:50.529 --> 00:09:55.330 It did, yeah. Well, no. We know in the end. Yeah. 00:09:57.190 --> 00:09:59.750 So this was another one shot on that VistaVision, 00:09:59.809 --> 00:10:03.190 the 8 perforation, 35mm. It was the first one 00:10:03.190 --> 00:10:07.549 to do it almost entirely since, like, the 60s. 00:10:08.389 --> 00:10:12.049 And, yeah, I mean, some of the scenes were fucking, 00:10:12.149 --> 00:10:15.970 I think they were worth it. So this got 88 % 00:10:15.970 --> 00:10:19.750 from 327 critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Don't say 00:10:19.750 --> 00:10:25.440 anything. 7 .4 out of 10 on IMDb and 3 .9 out 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:28.740 of 5 stars on Letterboxd. So it's up there, but 00:10:28.740 --> 00:10:35.000 it's not as up there as Sinners or I think, what 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.759 did I say last week about Train Dreams? I think 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:42.559 it was 97 % on fucking Rotten Tomatoes. I was 00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:43.980 going to sit down and watch this with Rachel 00:10:43.980 --> 00:10:46.080 last night and then I watched the opening 10 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.340 minutes and I'm like, no, babe, I don't think 00:10:48.340 --> 00:10:53.259 this is a movie for you. Now we're going to get 00:10:53.259 --> 00:10:55.299 into the spoiler -driven part of the show because 00:10:55.299 --> 00:10:57.059 we're going to just spit shit. And if you want 00:10:57.059 --> 00:10:59.820 to go check out Begonia before we do that, pause 00:10:59.820 --> 00:11:03.120 us now and come back later. Chemical castration. 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.679 Straight up, Jeremy. Fuck me dead. What is going 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:10.039 on in the world today? Yeah. That gives you an 00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:13.700 idea of what these. Incel fuckwits. Yeah, what 00:11:13.700 --> 00:11:17.080 they're willing to do. I think that's a comment 00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:19.679 on all these people during the COVID times injecting 00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:22.779 themselves with fucking horse shit. Yeah, look, 00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:28.759 I honestly thought it opened well and I thought 00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.399 that Emma Stone coming in straight away with 00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:38.620 that. Can you remember, it wasn't Glenn Close, 00:11:38.740 --> 00:11:41.580 it was the other hot chick. Sharon Stone. No, 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:44.340 the other hot chick, Meryl Streep, the streeper. 00:11:44.970 --> 00:11:48.669 When she was in The Devil Wears Prada. I haven't 00:11:48.669 --> 00:11:52.070 watched it. Okay, I have. It's the executive 00:11:52.070 --> 00:11:54.370 chick who walks through the office and everyone's 00:11:54.370 --> 00:11:56.389 like, oh, shit, look busy, look busy. She's over 00:11:56.389 --> 00:11:59.230 there. Oh, shit, blah, blah, blah. She'd done 00:11:59.230 --> 00:12:00.750 it really well even to the point where she's 00:12:00.750 --> 00:12:02.169 like, from now on we're going to be leaving at 00:12:02.169 --> 00:12:06.750 five every day unless you've got work to do and 00:12:06.750 --> 00:12:09.009 you've got other stuff to do and there's deadlines. 00:12:09.210 --> 00:12:11.440 Then you will stay back. And you will do the 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:13.720 thing. So I was like, oh, hey, look at me. I'm 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.100 a good altruistic person, but you better fucking 00:12:16.100 --> 00:12:18.159 toe the bottom line and still be here after five 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:21.460 if it needs to be done. I love that it asks the 00:12:21.460 --> 00:12:25.460 question all the way through. Is this cunt a 00:12:25.460 --> 00:12:28.759 schizophrenic psychopath? Does he know something 00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:34.039 that nobody else does? Or is he just trying to 00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:37.799 punish the lady who has hurt his mum? Yeah. There 00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:40.519 is an underwriting tension throughout the entire 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:46.759 movie and it plays pretty well in it. Stavros 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:49.679 was in this. Have you seen him before? The cop? 00:12:50.980 --> 00:12:54.919 Yes. He's a comedian and he's pretty funny. That 00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:57.379 was another thing. He says all the way through 00:12:57.379 --> 00:12:58.759 the movie, I'm sorry about what I did to you. 00:12:58.899 --> 00:13:00.779 What the fuck did you do? Yeah, I don't know. 00:13:02.059 --> 00:13:04.389 Like he's not that much older than. God dang 00:13:04.389 --> 00:13:05.970 it. Jesse Plemons in real life, surely. Jesse 00:13:05.970 --> 00:13:07.610 Plemons looks older than him by about ten years 00:13:07.610 --> 00:13:09.450 in this movie. And, man, he's lost some weight 00:13:09.450 --> 00:13:12.129 for this movie. Really has, dude. Because he's 00:13:12.129 --> 00:13:15.990 a fair lump of a lad. Husky lad. Big -ass head. 00:13:16.330 --> 00:13:19.070 His head didn't look as big in this one. Looked 00:13:19.070 --> 00:13:21.389 homeless really well. Pulls off homeless really 00:13:21.389 --> 00:13:23.990 well. Yeah, disheveled. Fucking so disheveled. 00:13:24.429 --> 00:13:26.669 Yeah, the relationship between him and his cousin. 00:13:27.250 --> 00:13:31.669 It's beautiful sometimes. Mm -hmm. Tragic. Extremely 00:13:31.669 --> 00:13:36.259 tragic most times. when he says, you know, okay, 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:40.059 I'm ready to go now. Fucking what? It was like, 00:13:40.139 --> 00:13:42.259 oh, he's going to turn on his cousin and go and 00:13:42.259 --> 00:13:43.960 live a good life and blah, blah, blah, blah, 00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:52.159 blah. Yeah. Trigger warning, guys. Fucking trigger 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:55.259 warning. There is a trigger warning for that 00:13:55.259 --> 00:13:57.600 scene. Kurt Cobain warning. Kurt Cobain. Well. 00:13:58.899 --> 00:14:01.299 Yeah. Did you see the news? We'll talk about 00:14:01.299 --> 00:14:04.059 that later. Yeah, some of the notes I got about 00:14:04.059 --> 00:14:07.440 the actors, Emma Stone, sensational in this role, 00:14:07.620 --> 00:14:09.919 couldn't peg her down for the entire movie. Like, 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.340 yeah. Fucking right. Which way is she going? 00:14:14.179 --> 00:14:17.659 Jesse Plemons deserves more love. This dude can 00:14:17.659 --> 00:14:21.480 act. Holy shit. Can act. And I said about Aidan 00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:23.940 before, about what the director said about him, 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:30.139 and that, yeah, just like solid cast. Very small 00:14:30.139 --> 00:14:32.940 cast, apart from when they're in the, the warehouse 00:14:32.940 --> 00:14:35.259 and when they're in the offices and shit, it 00:14:35.259 --> 00:14:37.360 is just three people in a room. Basically, yeah. 00:14:37.500 --> 00:14:41.879 And then when the cop comes around, when the 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:46.980 way that they hold it together until she breaks 00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:50.179 free and goes into that little other room and 00:14:50.179 --> 00:14:52.179 you see all the other bodies. Yeah, I'm like, 00:14:52.220 --> 00:14:54.740 ooh, what's behind there? Holy fuck. And then 00:14:54.740 --> 00:14:57.720 when she goes, how many of them? Yeah. And I'm 00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:02.649 like, fucking what? Yeah. How many of them were 00:15:02.649 --> 00:15:07.029 Armadians or something? Andromedans. Andromedans. 00:15:07.350 --> 00:15:10.070 Yep. And he's like, two. She pulling this out 00:15:10.070 --> 00:15:11.649 her arse? Yeah. What's going on here? What the 00:15:11.649 --> 00:15:15.850 fuck? But then you get back to her office. Oh, 00:15:15.889 --> 00:15:18.370 yeah, I've got to do this with the calculator. 00:15:18.730 --> 00:15:20.490 Yeah, and it's still like, hang on, what the 00:15:20.490 --> 00:15:23.309 fuck's going on? And then right at the end. Yeah. 00:15:24.389 --> 00:15:27.690 It held it together just before the credits. 00:15:27.889 --> 00:15:31.950 Yeah. That whole. Actually, that was probably 00:15:31.950 --> 00:15:34.429 the most expensive part where they're filming 00:15:34.429 --> 00:15:37.009 all the dead bodies in different parts of the 00:15:37.009 --> 00:15:40.269 world. Yeah. Because there was a lot of dead 00:15:40.269 --> 00:15:44.549 people. And I did love the fact that every time 00:15:44.549 --> 00:15:46.889 it goes four days till the lunar eclipse, it 00:15:46.889 --> 00:15:49.610 was a flat Earth. It was a fucking flat Earth. 00:15:49.649 --> 00:15:51.470 With the bubble over it. With the bubble. And 00:15:51.470 --> 00:15:53.509 then at the end when she decimates all of humankind, 00:15:53.570 --> 00:15:56.929 she just pops the atmosphere. See, what I didn't 00:15:56.929 --> 00:15:58.370 get about that is she popped the atmosphere. 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:00.960 Like, I thought, okay, no oxygen. Why did the 00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:02.720 dogs, cats and everything else survive? And why 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:04.639 are the engines still running? Yeah. Like, yeah, 00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:06.440 okay, so it's not oxygen. I don't know what that 00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:08.620 whole deal was, but okay, I'll fucking roll with 00:16:08.620 --> 00:16:13.519 it. Yeah, and she seemed like she didn't want 00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:17.620 to do it, but she did anyway. Where did you watch 00:16:17.620 --> 00:16:23.860 it? At home. Where? In my kitchen on the laptop. 00:16:24.379 --> 00:16:29.070 Gar. Did you ar? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hired it. 00:16:29.250 --> 00:16:32.230 Right. So I hired it off YouTube. I'm going to 00:16:32.230 --> 00:16:33.509 have to stop doing that because right at the 00:16:33.509 --> 00:16:35.509 end when she's speaking the alien language, it 00:16:35.509 --> 00:16:39.389 doesn't translate it. So I had to go on to Meta 00:16:39.389 --> 00:16:43.470 and Meta translated it for me. Thanks, buddy. 00:16:43.610 --> 00:16:45.950 I had the subtitles. I got to see everything. 00:16:47.269 --> 00:16:50.950 Nothing thanks, Meta. It's okay, buddy. Yeah, 00:16:50.990 --> 00:16:54.210 I saw the whole thing. I understood everything. 00:16:55.490 --> 00:17:00.120 And, yeah, that was weird. Like the bomb going 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.639 off, was that a coincidence? Yes. Yeah, it was 00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:06.799 a pure coincidence because even the lady said, 00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:08.539 you know, this is just something that happens 00:17:08.539 --> 00:17:10.119 with homemade explosives. You don't know when 00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:13.400 they're going to go off. Yeah. But, dude, when 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:15.759 she got smacked in the face by his head. She 00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.740 got her head butted by the. Fuck off. I laughed 00:17:18.740 --> 00:17:22.400 so fucking hard. Yeah, like. As soon as that 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:24.460 happened, I'm like, what the fuck? And then she 00:17:24.460 --> 00:17:26.059 got out of the ambulance. I'm like, I know what's 00:17:26.059 --> 00:17:27.759 happening here. And then it just got weirder 00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:30.019 and weirder. I'm like, why is she running? How 00:17:30.019 --> 00:17:31.759 is she running? What the fuck? But even when 00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:34.140 she gets a knee after he hits her with the butt 00:17:34.140 --> 00:17:37.859 of the gun, it's like, and I'm like, I've had 00:17:37.859 --> 00:17:39.619 that happen before. I'm not walking nowhere. 00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:41.720 I'm going to lay on the ground screaming. But 00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:44.000 that's when I knew she was an alien. Yeah, spoiler 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:46.839 alert, she's an alien. She's an alien! She's 00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:50.759 an Andromedan. Fucking weird -ass designs. And 00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:52.299 they're fucking walking around in these big, 00:17:52.299 --> 00:17:56.299 heavy -knit fucking whatever -the -fuck jumpsuits. 00:17:56.299 --> 00:17:58.859 Dead set. The wool looks this round. And they've 00:17:58.859 --> 00:18:01.539 just made suits out of it. Yeah. It's like on, 00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:03.480 what is it, Dude Wears My Car. They're all wearing 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:09.259 the fucking bubble wrap suits. Salty. Yeah. They're 00:18:09.259 --> 00:18:12.420 all fucking long -haired, shaky -looking. Fucking 00:18:12.420 --> 00:18:17.170 ridiculous. Yeah. Weird, weird movie. At the 00:18:17.170 --> 00:18:19.769 end, it definitely went sideways. Fucking sideways. 00:18:20.430 --> 00:18:24.089 But I found out afterwards that it was an adaption 00:18:24.089 --> 00:18:27.509 of a South Korean movie, and then that all made 00:18:27.509 --> 00:18:32.210 sense. South Koreans are weird. They make some 00:18:32.210 --> 00:18:34.410 weird shit, dude. Have you ever seen Oldboy? 00:18:34.529 --> 00:18:37.910 No, 100%. 100%. I don't want to be racist about 00:18:37.910 --> 00:18:39.630 this. I'm not being racist about this, but a 00:18:39.630 --> 00:18:42.049 lot of Asian shit is weird in the best possible 00:18:42.049 --> 00:18:46.710 way. I love it. Have you seen Oldboy? No. I haven't 00:18:46.710 --> 00:18:51.849 seen the remake or the fucking original. It's 00:18:51.849 --> 00:18:56.369 Thanos in the Scarlet Witch. Yeah, I know. And 00:18:56.369 --> 00:18:58.730 I haven't watched it. Have you watched the original? 00:18:59.349 --> 00:19:02.329 Yeah. Is it true to the original, the remake? 00:19:03.009 --> 00:19:08.230 No. Which one's better? The original. Cool. The 00:19:08.230 --> 00:19:12.450 original. Better ending. Yeah, better ending. 00:19:12.789 --> 00:19:14.369 I'm not going to ruin it because it's a fucking 00:19:14.369 --> 00:19:16.670 great film and you need to watch it. I will watch 00:19:16.670 --> 00:19:23.410 it, yeah. Lots of incest. Okay. So much incest. 00:19:23.809 --> 00:19:25.589 Yeah, you get that with a lot of foreign films. 00:19:25.829 --> 00:19:27.309 I don't know what's going on there, but anyway. 00:19:27.970 --> 00:19:30.509 It's like a movie I refuse to watch. I have never 00:19:30.509 --> 00:19:32.529 watched it, but I've read the entire synopsis 00:19:32.529 --> 00:19:36.109 of it, a Serbian film. Yeah, I haven't watched 00:19:36.109 --> 00:19:38.609 it either. Have you read the synopsis? No. Go 00:19:38.609 --> 00:19:40.349 and read the synopsis and then come back. No, 00:19:40.349 --> 00:19:41.970 I'm going to go into it blind when I watch it. 00:19:42.009 --> 00:19:47.359 Don't. It is. It's the worst movie ever made. 00:19:47.420 --> 00:19:50.380 Yeah, I've heard that. Yeah. Don't do it. I don't 00:19:50.380 --> 00:19:54.920 know. It'll ruin your life. Anyway, yeah, three 00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:57.460 out of, I didn't go right down the middle. I 00:19:57.460 --> 00:20:00.599 thought it was above average. Yeah. And we can't 00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:03.980 do, we're not doing 0 .75. No, no. So, you know, 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:09.779 I'll go three. Go by halves, yeah. A little review. 00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:14.460 I ended up listening to the audio book for Train 00:20:14.460 --> 00:20:17.210 Dreams. You did say that, yeah. Are you going 00:20:17.210 --> 00:20:19.269 to listen to it? I will listen to it, yeah. Okay, 00:20:19.269 --> 00:20:20.650 so I won't say anything. Should we do a book 00:20:20.650 --> 00:20:23.529 review of that in the later weeks? No, it's not 00:20:23.529 --> 00:20:25.529 long enough. No, it's only a short book. Yeah. 00:20:25.650 --> 00:20:27.710 We can just tack it on to one or the other. It's 00:20:27.710 --> 00:20:30.049 a little bit different to the movie. You get 00:20:30.049 --> 00:20:33.690 some extra details in some places. It doesn't 00:20:33.690 --> 00:20:36.349 really clarify the ending. I mean, it does a 00:20:36.349 --> 00:20:39.190 little bit. It's still up to interpretation. 00:20:39.690 --> 00:20:42.329 Yeah, right. Dude, that movie was so beautiful. 00:20:42.529 --> 00:20:46.059 I'll stand by it. I still tell everybody that 00:20:46.059 --> 00:20:49.759 has ears about Marabon, that's still for me the 00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:52.559 pinnacle of movies we've watched together. 100%. 00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:59.420 Wow. I still think of it daily, you know. So, 00:20:59.460 --> 00:21:03.720 yeah, I guess I'm hoping for that sort of. High 00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:05.400 again, looking for that, chasing that high. Yeah, 00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:08.460 dude, chasing that cinema because that is just 00:21:08.460 --> 00:21:14.839 gorgeous. This was a nice. No, I'll never watch 00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:17.900 this again. Begonia? No, I'll never watch it 00:21:17.900 --> 00:21:20.660 again. The worst part was I actually rented another 00:21:20.660 --> 00:21:23.240 movie before this one. It was called Begonia, 00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:28.160 B -E -R. It was a 1943 Western. I started watching 00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:32.859 it and then I realised that, hang on a minute, 00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:37.799 it's not a period film. Okay, next week we're 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:40.140 going to check out another movie that's in contention 00:21:40.140 --> 00:21:43.650 for Best Picture. In the run -ups to the Oscars. 00:21:44.390 --> 00:21:48.390 We're going to watch Marty Supreme. Oh, fucking 00:21:48.390 --> 00:21:53.990 why? It's about fucking table tennis, dude. It's 00:21:53.990 --> 00:21:57.490 about the person playing table tennis. Fuck me 00:21:57.490 --> 00:21:59.849 drunk. Well, it's either that or F1's on the 00:21:59.849 --> 00:22:01.450 list, and I thought you'd probably want to choose 00:22:01.450 --> 00:22:04.470 that. Yeah. The Night Agent, which I've never 00:22:04.470 --> 00:22:08.650 heard of. That's a TV show. Oh, what is it? Something 00:22:08.650 --> 00:22:11.099 Agent. It's something Agent. There is an agent 00:22:11.099 --> 00:22:14.440 on the list. Or Hamnet, which is about Shakespeare. 00:22:14.660 --> 00:22:16.819 I have heard about Hamnet. Apparently it's pretty 00:22:16.819 --> 00:22:19.380 good. Yeah. People think it's beautiful too. 00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:23.859 But you cry. The lady who directed Hamnet? Mm 00:22:23.859 --> 00:22:29.519 -hmm. I think it was a lady. They reckon, what's 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:31.680 her name? She was in The Bride. Chloe Zhao. Yeah, 00:22:31.779 --> 00:22:34.640 she did fucking Eternals. Yeah, bro. Give her 00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:38.319 more. Mm -hmm, mm -hmm. Jessie, what's her name? 00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:42.750 She was in The Bride. I don't know. I can't remember 00:22:42.750 --> 00:22:44.789 her name. Anyway, she's been a bit of stuff. 00:22:44.869 --> 00:22:47.769 Pommy girl. They reckon she's going to take out 00:22:47.769 --> 00:22:51.269 the actress. For the bride? No, no, no. Oh, Hamnet. 00:22:51.470 --> 00:22:53.930 Yeah. I haven't, yeah, I haven't, I don't think 00:22:53.930 --> 00:22:56.289 we've even watched the trailer. No, we haven't. 00:22:57.430 --> 00:23:00.950 It's got old mate from The Gladiator. No, Gladiator 00:23:00.950 --> 00:23:03.910 2, the next, the second Gladiator. Poor Mescal, 00:23:03.930 --> 00:23:06.109 whatever his name is. Mescal, yeah. Fucking hell, 00:23:06.130 --> 00:23:08.849 he's a shit actor. I reckon he's great. He's 00:23:08.849 --> 00:23:11.230 so shit in Gladiator, man. Did you hear what 00:23:11.230 --> 00:23:13.130 Russell Crowe decided about Gladiator 2? No. 00:23:13.450 --> 00:23:15.789 Fucking he said they completely missed the mark. 00:23:15.910 --> 00:23:19.890 They lost. You've just gone and shit in Maximus' 00:23:19.950 --> 00:23:22.250 fucking mouth because you've just gone and said 00:23:22.250 --> 00:23:24.150 that he cheated on his wife when all he wanted 00:23:24.150 --> 00:23:26.309 to do was get back to his wife the entire movie. 00:23:26.509 --> 00:23:29.250 Yep. So you've just completely destroyed Maximus' 00:23:29.250 --> 00:23:33.579 fucking legacy. Reputation, yeah. For what? For 00:23:33.579 --> 00:23:36.740 Denzel not even to put on a fucking accent. Yeah, 00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:41.359 100%. I expect him to say fucking King Kong ain't 00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:44.480 got shit on me, like something. He's going to 00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:49.059 bring something out. But, yeah, I think we've 00:23:49.059 --> 00:23:52.660 got three weeks until the Oscars, so we've got 00:23:52.660 --> 00:23:54.940 another three choices. So Marty Supreme will 00:23:54.940 --> 00:23:58.259 be my choice. You'll have another choice. Maybe 00:23:58.259 --> 00:24:00.579 we'll just leave the last one. Yeah, right. So 00:24:00.579 --> 00:24:02.640 Mighty Supreme this week, F1 the week after. 00:24:02.779 --> 00:24:07.019 Right. Maybe we might watch Hamnet because people 00:24:07.019 --> 00:24:08.779 are raving about it. And if we're chasing that 00:24:08.779 --> 00:24:12.380 high of Marrowbone, it might be up there for 00:24:12.380 --> 00:24:16.900 something to watch. Maybe. Maybe. We will cry. 00:24:17.180 --> 00:24:21.500 Yeah. Why? They reckon it's sad. If they talk 00:24:21.500 --> 00:24:25.210 like fuckwits, I'm not going to cry. If they're 00:24:25.210 --> 00:24:29.130 all the R out there and Phil Harmonic Orchestra 00:24:29.130 --> 00:24:32.210 and all that stuff, I don't give a shit. I'm 00:24:32.210 --> 00:24:35.470 not going to care. Okay. Cool. I don't know why 00:24:35.470 --> 00:24:38.029 I said Phil Harmonic Orchestra. I'm pretty sure 00:24:38.029 --> 00:24:39.750 I heard that on TV once or twice. That's about 00:24:39.750 --> 00:24:43.609 it. Cool. Makes sense. Thanks. Anyway, thanks 00:24:43.609 --> 00:24:45.269 for joining us, guys, for another week in review. 00:24:45.910 --> 00:24:47.650 Please like, comment, subscribe, follow along. 00:24:48.190 --> 00:24:50.589 We really appreciate all of you.
