From the dungeons of Morningstar, my name is
Clint. And I'm Stretch, and this is Prevailing
Strange. This instalment of Prevailing Strange
is what we like to call Rant and Sundry, where
we round out the week by touching on some of
the subjects that we've previously gone over,
and follow wherever the tangents take us. What
did you just say? What did you think I said?
I don't know. Start the last two off with the
fuck, marry, kill. Yep. Watch one, save one for
the kids and get rid of one. Yep. The first week
was Spider -Man series, all of the movies. Batman,
all the encompassing movies except for the old,
old stuff. Starting at Tim Burton and then all
the X -Men films up to Logan. Last week we did
Predator, Alien, Terminator. Which Tarn did not
agree with me. He agreed with you. I'm always
right. You should know that by now. He didn't
agree with the rope, by the way. He agreed with
me. Yous are both fucking shit. So this week
we have the Mission Impossible series. Not fair.
The Bourne series. Okay. So this might be easy
for you. Or Bond. Okay, we're going to fucking
scrap. We're going to scrap Bourne. Right. I
thought you'd go straight for that. I'd keep
Mission Impossible for my kids. Right. And I
love A Good Bond. I particularly like a lot of
the new stuff. Yeah. Even the fantastical nature
that it was when it was Pierce Brosnan was a
winner for me. I loved that. That was so campy,
so fantastical. Sean Connery back in the day,
Oddball and all them fuckers. Yeah, man. I liked
the grounded nature of Daniel Craig's version
and a lot more violence, a lot more hand -to
-hand combat, a lot more nut crunching. Like
getting hit with a knotted bit of rope in the
nuts. That's hitting you right in the gooch.
That's not front pad business. You can't hide
that between your legs. That's all sack and gooch
he's getting there. Oh, my God. And that was
the first time I ever seen Mads Mikkelsen. Yep.
Was in Casino Royale. Sure not. Serious, man.
First time I ever seen Mads Mikkelsen. That was
my introduction to that amazing actor. Like,
no doubt he's amazing, but I'm pretty sure he
was in stuff before. Oh, there's no doubt. I've
got no doubt he was in other shit, but that was
my introduction to him, yeah. Casino Royale.
That I can remember anyway. The remake. The remake?
Yeah, the original one was 1967. It was only
a short story, fella. It was like an eight -page
story or something. What? Yeah. No, it's a film.
Casino Royale. Really? 1967, yeah. Was it a James
Bond film? Yeah. Who was the James Bond? I just
wanted to know the date it came out, this one.
06. Surely. Surely. He could not have popped
up and been one of the greatest villains that
Bond's ever seen. Surely not. Hannibal. When
did Hannibal come out? Hannibal was way after
that. You sure? He was probably in a whole heap
of Danish films. Hannibal was 2013. Oh, really?
Okay. Casino Royale, 2006. He was in Pusher in
1996. I'd never seen that. David Niven. One of
the early ones. No, no, that was Bond. David
Niven was Bond? Yeah. I did not know that. Oh,
hang on. He's a spy parody film. Yeah, there
you go. Fuck, wait. Mads Mikkelsen achieved worldwide
recognition for playing the main antagonist,
the Le Chiffre, in the 21st James Bond film in
2006. He was also in Clash of the Titans 2010,
Doctor Strange 2016, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah. Made his screen debut in 96 in the movie
Pusher. Yeah. Okay, yeah. I thought Casino Royale
was a legit fucking movie. No. Okay. There you
go. Anyway. There you go. I would keep the Bourne
series for myself. Why? I don't know. There's
just something about them I liked. I would keep
the Bourne series for my kids and ditch MI. How
can you say that? I'm not a big Tom Cruise fan.
You don't have to be. I know. And what I've seen
is good. It just hasn't been enough for me to
compel me to watch more. I haven't seen more.
It might be different if I'd watched them. Okay.
But at the moment, as it stands, I would get
rid of them. I think the last one I saw was MI5.
Right. What is it about Tom Cruise that you do
not like? The fact that he didn't appear on the
Epstein Files. No, not really. Yeah! Somebody
pointed that out to me just the other day that
none of these Scientologists are on the Epstein
files, but anyway. No, they're not. I don't know.
He's just a – I don't know. I don't hate him
and I like some of his original films. Can you
name me and you're not allowed to mention Vanilla
Sky and you're not allowed to mention Eyes Wide
Shut? Tell me about a Tom Cruise movie and I'll
listen. Well, I liked Eyes Wide Shut. I don't
know what you're talking about. I think he does
well as an actor. He's one of the greatest actors
that's ever lived. His movies are hit for hit
for hit for hit for hit. All of his movies are
good. I'm not saying they're not. I just don't
like him. How? I don't know. How can you not
like someone for being good at something? I don't
like LeBron James. Who's LeBron James? One of
the greatest basketballers of all time. Oh, is
he? Cool. What do you mean? I just answered your
question, jerk face. I can play basketball and
that's about all I can do. Oh, I can beat women
and cheat on my wife. That's another thing he
can do. Nice. Okay. Tom Cruise can run and pretend
he's straight for like 30 years now. Fucking
great actor. He's hid his homosexuality from
an entire church. Sorry, cult. Tax write -off.
Yeah. But, yeah, dude, honestly, I cannot pick
a single Tom Cruise movie that I do not like
except for Vanilla Sky and Eyes of a Giant. I'm
no good at recalling shit. You know that. That's
why you always fucking ask me. Because I'm always
right. The rope was going down and you know it.
Yeah. You. I wish I could say the same as the
Bourne movies, and I know I'm going to say something
that's going to be, you can say that about Mission
Impossible movies as well, but they're fucking
same. I know you can say that about the Mission
Impossible movies, but all the Bourne ones are,
oh, look, I've lost my memory, and look, they're
trying to kill me, and I don't know who I am.
That's essentially what that whole series is
about. I know. It's a bit more grounded, though.
But there's a lot of, you're talking about the
fantastical, about Bond. Do you want your fucking
espionage to be grounded? I mean, yeah. I don't
know. I like it better. What about a glove that
sticks to glass? And then right as he gets to
the top, they fail. Oh, come on, man. Yeah, I
don't know. It's just. Can Matt Damon hold his
breath for seven minutes and two seconds? Probably
not. Tom Cruise can. Do you know who broke his
record, though? What's her name? The chick who
kicked Leo off a door. Yeah. She could actually
swim. Seven minutes and 14 seconds she held her
breath for, man. Seven minutes and 14 seconds.
That 14 seconds would have, my lungs would have
been on fire. That would have been the longest
14 seconds of my life. Yeah. 30 seconds usually
goes forever for me. She's like, oh, quick, babe,
blow my back out. I'm like, I'm going to give
you the fucking loving of your life. 30 seconds
later, I'm rolling over. Was that as good for
you as it was for me? Give me a towel. I'll put
in effort. Effort, not longevity. No, I'm not
a stamina man. Look at me. I'm not built for
speed. I was going to say I'm not built for speed,
but I am built for speed because I get there
with a thunder. Yeah, the whole. I want to suspend
belief in those sort of circumstances, essentially.
I love the fact that Mission Impossible sort
of moved with the times, like every sort of escalation
was something to do with what we're dealing with.
Like the last two were AI. Before that it was
Russian intelligence. Before that it was people
fucking bombing America and being on the inside
and shit and all that. So it's all. Sort of keeps
up with the relevancy of the place. Yeah. But
there's one scene in The Bourne Identity where
he shoves a pen down his fucking hand. That's
a favourite bit. Yeah. Just something about it
resonates more with me. I'm not saying that they're
better or anything, just that's what I would
think. I think the car chases in The Bourne Identity
are fucking sick. Like when they're going through
Prague and shit. Yep. So good. Some of the car
chases in Bond are great as well. Mission Impossible
was more just gay thoughts trying to keep up
with Tom Cruise while he's running along a river.
You get more memes out of Bourne. Jesus Christ,
Jason Bourne. Oh, you get one. One meme. Motherfucker,
Henry Cavill loaded his arms. Yeah. Well, I mean,
that would probably be up there a bit too. But,
I mean, you get it in multiple iterations with
that Jesus Christ, Jason Bourne when it's just
junkies doing shit. Yeah. Have you seen the one
where the blind people, the AI video and there's
blind people doing parkour? Fucking hilarious.
There's these people falling flat on their face
and then I'm like, Jesus Christ, it's Jason Bourne.
Have you seen how they were talking about Henry
Cavill cocking his arms like that and they're
like, hang on, the beard grows? It instantly
goes. And he gets a five o 'clock shadow, dude.
Watch the fucking clip. Well, he had a five o
'clock shadow. It's substantially longer. He
loads his arm and beard comes out, dude. Yeah.
That's old man. Apparently all the cast was like
looking back and going, how did you do that?
And he's like, I don't know what you're talking
about. I think it's just the body change. Yeah.
It looks like he gets a thicker beard. That beard
grows probably about half an inch. Just from
him cocking his arms. Yeah, boy. Oh, he can cock
me. Jesus. You're a cabal man. Oh, dude, you
made me put on a 40K outfit and just come into
your room one night, kick the door in. Mm -hmm.
You're going too far with this. Am I? Am I? I
don't think you're going far enough, good sir.
No, I think you are. Yeah, I can't believe you
picked Bourne over them to swear you're gay.
Round off in the comments if you are. I believe
that Jeremy is so fucking wrong in this aspect.
And write down what you'd be. Fuck, marry, kill.
Born, bond, mission impossible. Let us know.
Go back to our last videos and tell us what the
last ones you thought. Yeah, watch all of our
videos from start to finish and comment on everything
that we talk about. Have you ever heard of the
SCP? Is that what Eminem is saying about it?
SCP won't let me be, so let me be me. No, the
SCP Foundation. Have you heard of it? SCP stands
for Special Containment Procedures. So basically.
Is that like Nest? I don't know what Nest is.
Nuclear Emergency Response Team? Oh, maybe. But
basically it's a wiki page. Right. Or it's a
clone of Wikipedia. And you go on there and it's
all people have uploaded stories about containing
entities and kind of paranormal shit. All narrative,
all fiction. Fuck me. But it's kind of like this
movement where people get up there and they'll
upload a wiki with like facts and like the places.
So you're not getting a full narrative but you're
getting the information like you would get information
third hand on a wiki. about all these different
fucking occurrences around the world. And the
SCP is like this foundation that is, you know,
cloak and dagger in the background containing
these fucking outbreaks and shit like that. People
fucking from around the world are uploading stories
and... Of the SCP showing up in these containment
issues. Yeah. And it's just like this cool...
God, it's all fiction. All fiction. This cool
kind of narrative that everyone's putting in.
like contributing to this fictional world to
the point where you've got like an RPG based
on it, role -playing game, tabletop role -playing
game. Yeah, right. But on Kickstarter at the
moment, pardon me, they've made an anime for
it. Who told you about this, Lingy? No. Mr. fucking
Kickstarter crack addict himself. Yeah. We've
actually got it here to check out the anime to
see if you. Like what you see? I'm open. Let's
go. It's a pretty interesting concept. You know
what else is an interesting concept? The fact
that we went to the moon in 68. That's a fucking
mad concept. They should make an anime about
that. So, your choice. What will it be? I'll
hold tight to what little I have. So is that
going to be like a TVA sort of thing where they
go on all around the world solving all these
outbreaks, contagions? Kind of like the X -Files,
kind of like TVA. Yes, dude. But is it going
to be like monsters, diseases, or is it going
to be everything? Paranormal, anything. Anomalies
from other dimensions. Dude. Yeah, so you go
delving through this and there's like, they're
in the tens of thousands of stories now and there's
no right or wrong way to go about reading, going
through them. There's different ways you can
look at it. You can look at them through paranormal,
through like different kind of categories, kaiju,
just whatever. Anybody wants to kind of contribute
to this? There's a procedure in which you're
allowed to contribute. Right. But once you're
allowed to, you're allowed to add just. Any story
you can think of. Fairy rings, going to liminal
spaces, back rooms, fucking kaiju, everything.
Anything weird from the internet. If somebody
wants to add their own little thing to it. Dude,
this is going to bring out so much more storytelling,
simple shit like this. It's just, yeah, it's
perfect. Somebody in their room, they might have
one. cool idea for their entire life and they've
just put it down. Now they've got their somewhere
to put it. Yeah, and it doesn't have to be a
narrative. They don't have to know how to. Finish
it. Finish it. They don't have to put the voice
in there. They can just put the facts of what
kind of happened in past tense and it's there.
Yeah, right. Yeah. It's a very cool concept.
I am a fan. I really am a fan. I like that. Dude,
that looks so good. But that fucking looked beautiful.
I'd watch that. I love paranormal shit, man.
Oh, yeah. And to have more stories that are just
from your average Joe Blow, man, we say all the
time that microphones in the internet get everyone
a voice and not everybody deserves a voice. But
in the fictional space, man, fucking everyone
deserves a voice in that place. 100%. Not everyone
should have a microphone and be able to tell
facts and not everybody should be. Listen to
on the internet. But, dude, when it's fictional
and it's in that prism of fiction, mate, write
to your heart's content. Absolutely. That's what's
good about things like Wattpad. Royal Road. Royal
Road. All these where anybody, if you've got
the app, you can write a story and you can post
that story and people can read it. Yep. Love
that idea, dude. I love those ideas. Fantastic,
yeah. Let people create. Fuck yeah. Like I'm
pretty sure some of the best fucking movies or
TV shows we've seen have been a concept created
by somebody who doesn't have the talent to write
it. Yeah. They've come up with this premise and
somebody else has fleshed out a story. Yeah.
That's what this is. I like that. Could you imagine
like if they'd done something like that and then
every episode they just pulled one person's story
from that wiki? Yeah. and just put it into their
show. Anthology shit? Yeah. That'd be fucking
pretty cool. Just have one group, have one sort
of core group of investigators or cleanup crews.
Some kind of interwoven kind of connection. You
could even have sort of like a continental, like
a John Wick sort of continental base and then
just have all these different little crews of
private sectors that go out and investigate all
this shit. And that way you can have sort of
one home group and then the Australians have
their own little fucking show and then the Americans
can have their little show where they're just
killing kids in schools. And you can have like
the Koreans have their own little show where
they're putting a heap of muscly athletes in
a room and they're all supernatural in some fucking
shape, way or form. I'm going to have to write
a story. Yeah, look it up. It's pretty cool.
Yeah. I wrote it down, so I will be looking into
that because that's right up my fucking wheelhouse.
I love that sort of shit. Dude, so you haven't
watched anything this week at all? No, just Begonia.
I watched a couple of old movies that I was like,
hang on, what did I watch? It was a fucking movie
that I should never have watched. Sounds like
a good watch. It was good, but it was so problematic
and I'm like, what the fuck? This is so shit.
But so good. But not so shit and so good as like
Sharknado. It was just shit where I was like,
I can't believe I loved this movie when I was
a kid. And I've rewatched it and I'm like, you've
just destroyed your whole childhood because you
used to look back on this movie with such fond
memories. And now you've rewatched it 10, 12
years later and you realise that is so shit and
you've been telling people to watch it. I've
got some movies on the shelf that I've bought
like when we were in the States because I couldn't
find them here. Like purely nostalgia. Loved
them as a kid. I haven't watched them because
I don't want them to be fucking shit. Did you
know you can buy an NTSC Switch off eBay for
like $12? Really? Yeah. All you do is plug your
yellow, your red and your white cable in and
then it flips it and then you can watch NTSC
through your DVD player. So all them NTSCs and
shit you've got at home, you can still watch
them on PAL. Yeah, right. Seen it yesterday.
Did you happen to see that Wicked King, Wicked,
Unstable Kings reel that I sent you? No. So there's
a fella over in England. He takes media, movies
and stuff, and he's bought like a whole heap
of new old stock of VHS and he puts new, I think
the tagline on his site is stuff that wasn't
meant to exist. Yeah. So new movies and he puts
them onto VHS, makes the box art, the fucking
sleeves for it and shit. I've got four on the
way. Have you? Which ones? I'm not telling you
until I get here. Tell me. No. Tell me. I'll
show you here. Just tell me. I'll show you here
when they're rocking it. Why? We can't do unboxing
now. So you'll fucking hate when people do this.
They go, dude, I've got something very exciting
to tell you and then I'm not going to tell you
for months until it gets here. And he does like
the soundtracks for movies and stuff like that
on cassette. With fucking pretty cool box art
and shit on it too. You're a dog. It's going
to be cool. You're going to love it. Tell me
one of them. One of them. Blade Runner 49. Oh,
shit. I'll show you the picture of it. Oh, you
show me the album. I want to see what sort of
album cover he used. Sorry, what tape cover he
used. So apparently a year ago he had an Etsy
store. How's he doing this and getting away with
it, by the way? That's a little question. And
he reformats. A little. He reformats the ratio
too. So it's the square. Fuck off. Yeah, and
then fucking records it. But what movie was it?
One movie that I got. Like a cool movie, big
movie. The director has started following him
and liked his stuff. Hasn't flagged him for it.
I think it's because it's. I think it might fall
under like art. Yeah, right. There might be a.
Is he putting the movie on the VHS though? Yeah.
Piracy, bro. Unless he's from China and then
you get away with it. No. Fuck off. Wow. Yeah.
As bold as the original Blade Runner. Fuck off,
dude. That's beautiful. Yeah. And I even think
it comes a little pre -distressed on the corners
and stuff. Dude, that is beautiful. If it comes
pre -distressed, that is stunning. That is art.
Yeah. I don't give a fuck what anybody says.
How much were they? Are they different prices
for each one? No, basically the same price. And
he had TV show box sets as well. But, like, you
can't just get anything. Oh, he's got a certain
list? He's got a certain list, yeah. And what's
his Instagram handle? Unstable King. I feel really,
really upset that you have not. I sent you the
reel. You didn't fucking watch my shit. Unstable
King followed by Real Big Hero. Fuck, he's got
30 ,000 followers, this guy. Tyler's Tapes. There's
another guy. Fuck off. Fuck off. There must be
some kind of loophole. I'm following you too.
Stranger Things on the box set? Come on, guy.
They're going up on the shelf. This is amazing.
Holy shit. I'm not going to buy. You know what?
I'm not going to give the big. I'll tell you
what I got. No, no, no. You don't want to know?
No, no. I don't want to know. You know what I'm
going to do? I'm not going to buy that Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles re -release from the VHS.
I'm going to buy it from one of these guys. Just
a little fella who's doing his shit. I don't
want to give them bastards more of my money when
they're not going to make fucking. Yeah, I doubt
I'll ever play these as well. They're just going
to sit on my shelf and look fucking gorgeous.
Yeah, they would. Like a copy of Hero Quest.
Dude. I'd buy it. I want to go halves. Fuck heaven.
Go halves. And that way we can put it up in a
body studio. Come on. Talk dirty to me. I'll
get you halves. Maybe. I swear. I'll have to
track down that listing to see if you'll post
it. Where's he from? South of border. Mexico?
Yeah. Is he really? Victoria. Melbourne. Oh.
I'm like, we're not American, you dumb fuck.
But, yeah, dude, see that shit? I'd love to have
shelves just of those, have them lit beautifully.
Just like we watch the dude on YouTube and all
the old movie posters, all the old, like they're
printed on cotton stock and shit, and they're
getting these. massive folded up movie posters,
but they've got all the distresses down the middle
where they've cracked and broken and all that
sort of shit. Eliminate, spray them, fucking
colour them in. Redo them, remaster them and
all this sort of shit. And I'm like, fucking
art. It should be preserved. The people who design
and paint, they used to paint all these movie
posters back in the day, man. Star Wars. Blade
Runner. Harry Potter. Harry Potter. All them
old movie posters that were hand -painted. Incredible.
Amazing. And they deserve to be. Well, I think
there was actually a thing in Sydney probably
about six months ago where it was just old movie
posters and it was an art gallery showing. Fucking
didn't get down there because I didn't know about
it until like a month later. I'll check that
out. Yeah, dude. You think about something, like
even that 2049 you just showed me, that poster.
Gorgeous. Just reds, oranges, yellows, and it's
stunning. Yeah. And that grey border like they
did. I ordered a poster too. You did? I was going
to go beside that one when we did a new body
studio. What movie is it? I Want to Believe.
X -Files. I fucking love you so much. That's
the tits. Yeah, boy. That's just like the alien.
It's like the. The UFO. The exact same one in
the background. Yeah. Man, I've wanted that poster
for a fucking long time. Well, thing is, we've
got grown up money now. That's right. We've got
that old money. We can spend it on shit. Yeah.
Like my Batman socks I'm wearing right now. We
don't grow up. Fuck yeah. We don't grow up. We
just get bigger. We're just getting older. And
toys get more expensive. which fucking give me
a heart attack because I found out how much me
falling is going to cost for the VK. Oh, God.
I had a mild cardiac infarction. Steph gave me
a present for our anniversary the other day.
It was the Lego Game Boy, the original Game Boy.
Put it together the other night. Beautiful. All
the buttons work. All the switches work. It's
fucking sensational. You can't play games on
it. No. Still so fucking sick. Just the whole
time putting it together and you get this piece
together and the buttons work and feel like buttons.
I'm like, oh, this is fucking cool. Then I put
it together. I'm like, what am I putting together?
Oh, that's the on and off switch and, like, it
fucking clicks as well. Fuck off. That's cool.
God, we're geeks, man. Please, guys, like, comment,
subscribe, follow along. Show your friends. Love,
peace, chicken grease. Bye.
