From the Dungeons of Morningstar, my name's Stretch.
And I'm Clint, and this is Prevailing Strange.
Welcome back, guys, to our Week in Review, a
segment where we get to talk about some of the
content that we've checked out this week. That's
in my notes, and I don't even know why. This
cunt people. I don't even know why it started
playing. Oh, fuck. I'm just reading. And all
of a sudden it's like. Anyway. Just keep rolling.
Anyway, on the road to the Oscars, we've been
checking out the Best Picture nominations. Nominations,
mind you. Nominations, yes. Not Best Fucking
Picture, trust me. I chose last week, which I'm
sure Clint will remind you all about plenty of
times. Marty Supreme. Unbeknownst to me, the
director is the same director that did Uncut
Gems, which I was not a fan of and I don't think
Clint was a fan of either. No, I liked Uncut
Gems, but I don't think it was Josh Safdie's
direction that carried it. I think it was Adam
Sandler's portrayal of that character that carried
that show. There were at least some redeeming
qualities in that show. I don't know what it
is about Josh Safdie, but he's getting all these
unlikable fucking characters and trying to get
you to champion for him. This movie is one of
them exact same things. He definitely has a style,
at least I think it has a lot to do with the
writers. I think the same writers did. Well,
it was him and his brother. No, he directed it.
He didn't write it. Oh, did he? No, no. There's
a couple. I forget what the names are. She did
recently If I Had Legs I'd Kick You and he did
this. Anyway, so yeah, Marty Supreme came out
last year. It's been nominated for Best Picture,
the Oscars and the Gold Globes. It's also been
nominated for Best Actor for Timothee Chalamet.
He does a great job in it. There's no doubt about
it. The kid's got chops. It's a fever pitch fucking
effort, man. You fucking hate him. I fucking
hated the character the whole way through it.
Yeah, 100%. It's also been nominated for Best
Casting, which I thought it did well, did a good
cast. Cinematography, Costume Design, Directing,
Editing, Production Design, and Original Screenplay.
So it didn't get nominated for what I think is
the best part of this movie. Which is? Sound.
It didn't get a nomination for sound. I thought
whoever done the sound engineering for this was
fucking phenomenal. The soundtrack was great.
The beats hit at exactly the right time. And
music has a way of bringing you in and out of
a scene. And he's done it fucking flawlessly.
I thought the sound was the best part of this
movie. Interesting. We'll touch on that in a
minute. Oh, my God. I thought I just deleted
everything. So the synopsis for Marty Supreme,
if you haven't seen it, is Marty Meza, a young
man with a dream no one respects, goes to hell
and back in pursuit of greatness. Okay. I'd like
you to read your review on this and then I'll
read you mine. Okay. And then we'll meet in the
middle. Right. We'll dock in the middle. I'll
go on. You mentioned that Josh Safdy. Safdy,
yeah. Safdy is the director. He also did Uncut
Gems and Good Time with Robert Pattinson. And
he also made an attempt at acting in Happy Gilmore
2. He was the villain in Happy Gilmore 2. No,
that was his brother, wasn't it? No, it was Josh
Safdy. Was it? Okay. I haven't watched it. It
stars Timothee Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow. Fran
Drescher, which I did not recognise her to begin
with until like towards the end. I'm like, holy
fuck, that's Fran Drescher. Anyway, Taylor, the
creator, in his first acting appearance as Wally,
his friend, and Odessa Zion, her name is. She's
just kind of popped up out of nowhere lately,
been in a lot of different things. Right. Played
Rachel, which I thought was a great part. I thought
she was a good part in this. I'm going to come
back and say you're 100 % correct. The villain
in Happy Gilmore was his brother, Benny Safdie.
Thank you. Sorry. So, yeah, I thought this was
frantic, fanatic comedy of errors. I think, yeah,
like I said, Timothy Chalamet gave a fever pitch
effort. I can understand why he's been nominated
for Best Actor. Dude, even Gwyneth Paltrow fucking
done a great job. She did. I did really like
Odessa Zion's support role in it. Yeah, she played
Rachel. She played Rachel, yeah. I liked her
part more than Gwyneth Paltrow's. 100%. Yeah,
like she played his game throughout this entire
movie. Yeah. They were made for each other. I
think the narrative is persistent, it's snappy,
but oftentimes it's exasperating and it's just...
There were so many. If I wasn't ADHD as fuck
and I had to finish it, I would have turned this
off so many times. I get that. I think the cinematography
of New York in particular, the city streets,
the dive bars, the hangouts was fucking spot
on. Of the time too, man. Very plausible. It
looked so good. It did, yeah. I thought the synth
-laden kind of soundtrack was a bit jarring.
It's meant to be the 30s. 50s. It was the 50s.
He was born in the 30s. Yeah, yeah. So it was
50s, but it was very synth -laden. I thought,
oh, that's kind of modern. Out of the time. On
reflection, I didn't hate it. It just took me
out in the time. Gotcha. Watching it. Overall,
I thought it was a well -put -together movie.
It was just the fact that I do not like this
manic kind of fraught protagonist at all. I want
to feel and care for someone in the show. In
this? I cared more about a dog. Yeah. Yeah. I
think he was unlikable. Yeah. He was disagreeable.
And I think that, you know, when we do eventually
get some kind of redemption, it's too little
too late. It's fucking over. Yeah. It finishes.
That's it. It's over. You don't get to see if
he turns his light now. It's loosely based on
a real story of a guy. Yep. Every time I think
of Marty Supreme, all I think about is that tag
that says Supreme. I don't know if it's got anything
to do with it. It's fucking to be a table tennis
man. Come on. There's so many other people you
could have made a movie about. This guy does
not deserve to have his story told at all. He
had one good idea. Let's paint some balls orange.
That was his idea. I'm sorry I interrupted. That's
pretty much my kind of review over with. Okay.
Do you want to wait till later for the stars?
No, wait. Okay. So mine's a bit long -winded
because there was so much that I didn't like
about it and I had some stuff to say. Mate, I
finally watched Mighty Supreme last night. I
finished it this morning and honestly, I don't
get the hype. So the movie's called Mighty Supreme,
directed by Josh Safdie, and you can definitely
feel the chaotic uncut gems energy all over it.
But this time it just didn't land for me. It's
about this 1950s table tennis hustler, Marty
Mouser, played by Timothy Chalamet. Anyway. And
look, he's talented as shit, there's no doubt
about it, but the character is exhausting, not
in a fun, love to hate him kind of way. He's
just fucking draining. The bloke's arrogant,
smug, constantly scheming, and I never really
found out the reason to care whether he won or
lost. The whole thing feels loud for the sake
of being loud, and I should know because that's
me. Fast -talking, frantic music, dramatic close
-ups. The close -ups made me feel uncomfortable
because he was always sweaty. No air conditioning
back in the day. Just pimples everywhere. It
just made you uncomfortable. Had that 4K fucking
camera and that detail sort of gets right in
there. Apparently, Gwyneth Paltrow had suggested
off -camera to… Can you film me in 480p, please?
No, to Timothee Chalamet that maybe you should
get some… or something for his acne scars. Yeah,
right. She thought it was legit. Oh, right. Yeah,
the makeup was that good. They'd done a good
job. Like, them acne scars look fucking real.
And the scars and the freckles, yeah. Yeah, right.
They looked great. There's no doubt about it.
Where are we? It's trying too hard to feel intense
that it actually forgets to tell a story that
you can latch on to. It's like two hours or something
of shaking you by the collar going, isn't this
mental? And I'm sitting there like, oh, yeah,
okay, I fucking get it. You've also got Gwyneth
Paltrow playing herself, an aging movie star
trying to reinvent herself, and that whole subplot
felt so half -baked. It was a bit of an interesting
idea, yeah, but it never really goes anywhere
meaningful. And then random appearances from
Tyler, the creator, and others just make you
look, oh, look who we can get in a movie. There's
no real substance to any of it. It's produced
by A24. Let's face it, they really miss. They're
doing fucking great things, which makes sense
because it looks absolutely incredible. The production
designs are beautiful. The costumes are on point.
The 1955 is spot on. It gives all that visually,
and it's impressive. The score is intense as
hell, and that's one thing that I took away from
this. The score was great. I really enjoyed it.
Which is funny because it didn't get nominated
at all. At all. At all. How? I thought the score
was good. I just thought it was contradictory
to the theme. I thought it was the best part
of the film. So if it's the best part of the
film that I thought, how the fuck did it get?
Anyway, I digress. But that's kind of the problem.
It's style over substance. I kept waiting for
it to slow down and give me something real, some
emotional punch, some reason to carry out Marty
beyond the he's ambitious. But it just kept on
sprinting. And all the critics are fucking blowing
this thing like it's going out of fashion, man.
Everybody's loving it. I'm just like, and that's
why I don't believe the fucking Rotten Tomatoes
or the IMDBs or the Critics' Choices and all
that sort of shit. Fuck them. But it just keeps
sprinting. Calling it bold, daring, and one of
Chalamet's best performances, I agree, was one
of his best. But at the same time, I didn't like
it. It just felt really messy. It wanted to be
this grand character study, but it never actually
dug deep enough for it. By the end, I wasn't
moved. I wasn't inspired. I was just tired. It's
not terrible. It's clearly fucking well made.
Let's face it. It's well made. Them set designs
from New York City were absolutely bonkers, dude.
So good. Even when you're going into them ping
pong fucking underground dens and shit. Dives
and stuff, yeah. Come on, man. They all look
so good. None of that exists now. And they made
it, and it looked so fucking authentic. It looked
great. Yeah, it wasn't for me, man. If you love
chaotic, high -stress character pieces, maybe
you'll vibe with it. But for me, I reckon I tried
too hard and forgot to make me care. Yeah, 100%.
I agree with you there. It's just I did not resonate
with him. I kind of want to feel something from
a character, whether it's a resonation or like.
Good people doing bad things, bad people doing
good things. This is just a dude doing bad things
and you didn't care for him at all. Constantly.
The only time I thought, hang on a minute, this
could get good is at the end when the baby's
born and he fucking cries. He loses it. Too little,
too late. Too late, dude. And then credits. Spoiler
alert. So you said about A24, this is their most
expensive movie they've ever made with a budget
of $70 million roughly. Okay. Massive cast. Massive
cast. Huge cast. And they did some really good
jobs on the set pieces. It was $147 to $155 million
worldwide it grossed. It's done the best for
any A24 movie as well as being the most expensive.
As for the critics, it's 93 % from 344 reviews
on Rotten Tomatoes. Shut up. Shut the fuck up.
7 .9. No, you shut the fuck up. I'm talking 7
.9 out of 10 on IMDb and 4 .2 out of 5 on Letterboxd.
I want to know, what is your rating out of 5?
2. I gave it 2 .5. God, you're fucked. Mainly
because it was such a well put together movie.
But it's also in the same place because I just
didn't like him. Dude. I really wanted to, though.
That's the whole point. Like, I like Timothee
Chalamet. I did, yeah. But that's the good thing.
He's done such a great job. I hate him. How can
you say that this is the most successful one?
Like, you think A24, they've done. Well, it's
the biggest box office out of any of them. Oh,
okay. Because Ex Machina didn't go to cinema,
did it? No. Because that was incredible. Have
you ever seen Ex Machina? No, I haven't. Oh,
my God. I'm just stating the facts. It's their
biggest budget and it's their biggest return.
And did you ever see the other movie they made
called Swiss Army Man? Daniel Radcliffe. I haven't
seen it. I don't know what you're talking about.
You need to watch that film. It is absolutely
incredible. I do love what A24 is doing, man.
They're just pumping out. Fucking sick films.
Sick films. And even when I. I don't like them.
I appreciate what they're doing. Yes. Even this,
I don't like the movie. I appreciate what they've
done here. It looks sensational. I think if the.
Hereditary was A24 as well. Yeah. Yeah. I think
if the soundtrack had more like brass, big band
style. Yes. Yep. Probably would have been better,
but the synth took me out. I'm like, oh. Oh,
why are we getting modern music? But here's a
couple of things I read. They did The Lighthouse.
Yeah. I think they've done all of fucking Eggers
movies. Yeah, dude. Watch Eggers movies. Don't
tell me what to do. So the first paramedics that
were ever established in New York, in the Bronx
specifically, was in 1974, despite the fact that
they say, get the ambulance here for our mate
when he fell through the fucking roof, which
was fucking gnarly. I did not expect that to
happen. Fucking poor dog. Another inconsistency
was the menu at the Ritz in London should have
been in pounds, shillings and pence. It wasn't.
It was in decimals or whatever it's called. And
when he says, I'll rip your unibrow off in the
pool hall or whatever it is, unibrow was coined
in the 80s. So some inconsistencies that were
only, I didn't realise them in the time I found
this out. I wouldn't have realised that either.
Look, I love that Drift King sticker. I don't,
I love this for art's sake. When you go to an
art gallery and you look at things, you're like,
oh, that looks incredible. You go to something
else, you're like, oh, that looks weird. But
you look closer and you see the brush strokes
and the way it's been built up and see all that
sort of shit. 100%. You might not like what it's
about, but you like what effort's been put in.
Exactly. That's what I'm like with this film.
I will never watch it again. Unless Steph wants
to watch it. Oh, the way I – mother effer. We're
going to talk about it after. But the way I watched
Frankenstein. So Rachel was watching something
in bed. I'm like, fuck, I don't want to watch
it. I hate watching true crime about kids. I
fucking hate it. So I'm like, babe, I'm going
to go to my room and I'm going to watch Frankenstein.
Do not regret it. That movie is fucking amazingly
beautiful, gorgeous, sexy, fucking the whole
shebang deal. We'll talk about it in a sec. Let
me, is there anything I want to say about this
before we go on to that? That's about as much
time as I'm willing to kind of put on this movie.
Agreed. Yeah, agreed. It's good. If he's going
to watch it, great. Go ahead. Tell us what you
think about it. We really want to hear what fucking
other people think about the movies as well because
I look at things with a completely different
eye than you, so I want to hear what you've got
to say. Yeah, it's good. It's not great. That's
a personal opinion. I don't like that frantic
kind of energy that they did with Uncut Gems.
I didn't like that either. And that's the thing
too. It's fucking bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,
bang, bang. It's going to happen over the space
of a 48 -hour period. This happens over the space
of like eight weeks or something. Yeah. So many
things go wrong. Such a short period of time.
And it's just everything goes wrong. Yeah. Okay.
You kind of get bored of it. Even to the point
when he's stealing a necklace. Yeah. It's fucking
costume jewelry, bro. She's an actor. Deal with
it. That was pretty funny. It's actually hilarious.
But yeah, give it a watch. I reckon it's worth
a watch. Oh, I'm not recommending people watch
it. If you like uncut gems, watch it. Yeah, I
don't want people to hate me. I like uncut gems.
That's the weird thing. You hated it. I did,
yeah. I didn't mind uncut gems. But I think,
like I said, I love Adam Sandler. Even when he
did Jack and Jill, I could see what he was trying
to do. Yeah. Failed miserably because that movie
is just a whole fucking stealing me a pile of
crap. But this had no redeeming qualities. No,
that's true. So Frankenstein, it is another best
nominated picture for the Oscars. If it don't
win, if fucking Marty Supreme wins over Frankenstein,
because let's face it, the set designs in that
fucking thing. They build that ship. Bro. Bro,
that castle, holy shit. That laboratory, holy
shit. The costume, holy shit. That ship, holy
shit. That whole movie was me going, wow. Okay,
so a few facts if you don't know. Hang on! I
made sure, I started watching it on me TV. I'm
like, fuck this. I went out and got me meta headset,
put that on. 300 -meter fucking screen, dude,
and I watched it with an erection. You can continue
in a second. It was stunning. Directed by Guillermo
del Toro. Guillermo del Toro. Netflix bankrolled
it, I think, or at least bought it. Netflix original.
It stars Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, or is it
Elodie? Elodie. Elodie. Mia Gough. Mia Gough.
Okay. Okay. This movie sold me on Mia Gough,
man. Now, she was great in Marabone, but this,
mate, she fucking shows chops. When she slaps
Oscar Isaac and she says, get out of my room,
you fucking felt that shit, that anger, that
hatred. This movie done for me what Marty Supreme
failed to do. The main antagonist is a fucking
prick. Isn't he? And you hate his guts. But.
there's parts where you want to champion for
him. True. And you feel a way about him. You're
not just, oh, fuck, this bloke's annoying as
shit and want to fucking stab yourself in the
eye with a pen. So in the book, you know, he
has a complex relationship with the monster.
He kind of, his whole life works up to this.
He makes this monster for creation. Turns out
he thinks it's a monster. It's not quite as abrupt,
his dislike for this thing. in the books. But
in the movie, it's almost instantaneous. As soon
as he locks him downstairs. Yeah. That's what
I like about Oscar Isaac. He plays a great lovable
character and, man, he can be a cunt. I agree.
And that's why he's in Ex Machina, which will
bring me back around to this. In Ex Machina,
it's very much Victor Frankenstein. Oh, really?
Yeah, okay. Because he's taken this android and
he's given it AI and he's given it feelings and
he's given it emotion and he's given it reasoning
and all that sort of shit. And again, it's locked
up in a fucking glass cage and a reporter comes
to do a report on this thing. Very similar movie
but a more modern realisation. Speaking about
Mia Goth, I like that they put eyebrows on her
and she's almost unrecognisable as the mother.
She is absolutely beautiful, dude. I thought
she was so weird looking but she is absolutely
stunning and can fucking... Yeah, man. You watch
ex -Maxine Pearl. Yeah. Yeah. She is good. Yeah,
right. Yeah, Marabone, like I'd seen, I'd heard
about her. She didn't have much to do in Marabone.
She didn't say much. She was really muted. No,
but she played a really good part. Like she played
that part. She stuck in her lane. Yep. And like
fulfilled that role. Yeah. Yeah, I think she's
really good. Oh, dude, got chops. Yeah. But,
yeah, this movie sold me on me a golf, man. Fuck
me dead. So good. Jacob Elody, man. The first
scene you see is just him screaming, Victor!
And you're like, they put a reverberation in
it in post. Yep. And it gets that real gah, that
guttural fucking scream. And it sounded so. Haunting
dude. Fuck yeah. Like he was so heartbroken.
He's just like, I'm going to destroy you. Yeah.
And just the power. The power of it was so fucking
good. Yeah. Just Elodie's presence in this was
sensational. Fucking graphic. Yeah. Graphic.
Yeah. All the anatomy stuff. All the anatomy
stuff. And it looks so fucking good. And it was
all there. Like that was. The body with its back
spread open, fucking pinned down and shit, that
was fucking gnarly. Like when he's filleting
the hand and he's pulling on the tendons and
the fingers are like. Mm -hmm. It's just even
everything down to the hand -drawn anatomy books,
man. Yep. Gorgeous. Stunning. He don't, Guillermo
del Toro does not miss. No, he doesn't. Gorgeous.
Stunning. I can't say enough good things about
this movie, man. And if it gets beaten. by fucking
Marty Supreme. I still don't think either of
them are going to get Best Picture. I think it's
going to Sinners. No. No way. I suppose he is
of that persuasion. No, I just mean as a picture
as a whole, I think it is a better well put together
picture. You think Sinners is better than Frankenstein?
Yeah. No, fuck off. Yeah. No, you're wrong. You're
so fucking wrong. Frankenstein was beautiful,
but at points it felt a little bit rushed and
then almost like it was the cut was a little
abrupt in the way it was put together at the
end. It wasn't horrible. It was long. It could
have been longer. It could have been longer.
I do agree with you there that it seemed rushed.
Like you see like chapter one is the creator's
tale. And then chapter two is the creation's
tale. The creation's tale goes for 15 minutes.
The creator's tale goes for an hour and 40 minutes.
Yeah. I wanted to hear more about what the creation
had been doing. And that, dude, that scene with
the blind man, that whole fucking storyline with
the blind man. It was beautiful. Gorgeous. Just
absolutely gorgeous. Yeah. It fucking broke my
heart. Legit broke my heart when the wolves came.
As soon as he walked back and you see the wolves,
my heart just sank. And I'm like, oh, no. And
Jacob Elliott, he does such a great fucking job
under all that prosthetic, under all that makeup.
Sometimes his face is covered by a shawl. But
just the emotion that he's conveying in his eyes,
man, and that little glint he always gets in
the left eye. It's like it's a hollow eye or
something but there's a glint in it and it's
just this tiniest touch but it happens every
once in a while and it's just enough to go, hang
on a minute, he's really looking deep into the
person that he's talking to. I could blow this
movie all day, man. I could just blow Guillermo
del Toro, man, legit. Elordi, I think he has
chops, man. The size and the scale of him too
was really cool. I think he's 6 '5". Yeah. And
I loved how it was a different take. Like it
wasn't, oh, we're going to chop the head off
somebody and then put a head on. We're not going
to chop an arm off and put an arm on. It was
like different muscle fibres were taken from
a different person. Yeah. He had hundreds of
bodies there, man, just cutting bits and pieces
off them. Just sending them down the fucking
hole in the middle. It was a fucking churnal
fucking house downstairs. Fucking went on my
Christoph Waltz falls down that funnel. Oh, dude.
And then he picks his head up off the floor.
I'm like, oh, my God. Stuck there. Fucking what?
Fuck it before it gets cold. But, dude, I really,
really loved this movie. I got so emotional.
I really, really, really, really, I just, I could
watch, I could watch. Jake Abelity walk around
in that costume and just watch what he does with
his adventures. It was gorgeous. And I don't
know why it took me so fucking long to watch
it. What would you give it out of five? Five,
man. Whoa. Five. Five. That's big. It's perfect.
The performances, brilliant. The writing, brilliant.
The sound, brilliant. The special effects, brilliant.
The set design, brilliant. The only weak thing
I could say. Is it, I wish it was more 50 -50
The Creator's Tale, 50 -50 The Creation's Tale?
Mm -hmm. Yeah. I gave it three and a half. I
thought it was great. I did. You do realise you
just give a movie that we didn't like two and
a half. No, I did. Your score is so fucked. Like
I said. I think we need to do it at ten. No.
I didn't hate Mighty Supreme. I hated the character.
The movie was well done. That's why it's right
down the middle. But the movie last week was
right down the middle. No, I gave it three last
week. That's right down the middle. No, it's
not. Two and a half is right down the middle.
It was slightly above average last week. I reckon
we should move it to ten stars. No. People, do
you think we should go to ten stars? Comment
down below. Let us know. We started on five.
We can't go moving the fucking goalpost now.
We can. No. Season two will go to ten stars.
Ten stars, season two. No. Fuck, man. Why do
I always get zicked on this? Zicked. Next. Because
I think I came up with it and we're not changing
it. I think it's shit, though. Five stars is
terrible. That's not. Can we at least go .75s
and shit and .9s? No. Fuck! It gives you something
to work with. Yeah, okay. I'm going to give you
something to work with. I want you to mute out
every swear word that comes up on the show. No,
that's not going to happen. Fuck you. Fuck you.
This is something. The whole fucking show is
like, Frankenstein. Frankenstein. Yeah, I thought
it was a great show, but it was just like, I
think the final cut was slightly disjointed.
Yeah. And that's where Marty Supreme kind of
flowed throughout the whole thing, even though
I did not like the franticness of it, but it
flowed. and it was well pieced together. This
was kind of missing that. It was a good story,
just wasn't kind of executed as well as I thought
it should be. And then some of the pieces, the
set pieces, either didn't look quite finished
or they were, I don't know, it was missing a
little bit of grit to it or some of them weren't.
Some of it looked like a sci -fi movie or a -
How else are you going to fucking convey someone's
harnessing lightning to bring somebody back from
the dead? No, that was good. That was good. How
do I put it? It kind of looked like a CW. Thank
you. You know how the CW was kind of like went
dark but it was like really light in colours
and you could see everything? The contrast needed
to be pumped right up so there was a lot more
darkness to hide some of the imperfections of
some of the set pieces. It was like the brightness
was turned up in it. Maybe it could have been
your TV. I don't think it was. If you go into
your TV settings, there's these settings called
like… brightness settings and contrast settings
and stuff. If you fuck around with that, you
can make it look however you want. Mine's on
default for every movie, so I don't. It just
wasn't quite perfect. I'm going to say something
to you and you're probably going to hate it.
I agree. It was bright. Yeah. It was quite bright.
Yeah. I mean, I don't hate you for saying that.
But if you really resonated with this, I can
understand why you like it a lot more than I
do. I really loved it. I do agree with you. It
was very bright. Even the shit, the scenes in
the dark at night, that room was so well fucking
lit, bro. Yeah. There was a lot of ambient light.
Yeah. It probably shouldn't have been that well
lit. Yeah, I don't know. I think. We watched
a movie the other week and I said that the person
used actual lighting for it. What movie was that?
So they did that for Marrowbone and they did
it for the movie we watched last week, which
was Begonia. Begonia. I think if you use just
natural light, candle light, he needed to be
walking around with a candle more. I don't think
I've ever seen him walking around with a fucking
candle. It was like they had solar power or there
was a Tesla plugged in down the shed. They had
power. Yeah. There was no candles. There was
no blah, blah, blah. There was nothing like vampires
don't see, blah, blah, blah. There was nothing
like that. Yeah, give me more shadow work. Yeah.
Oi! Now we're talking. Watch Nosferatu. Look,
I love, and that's the thing I love about the
old black and grey movies, the old black and
white movies. Werewolf by Night killed it with
that. Yeah. Like the shadow playing that was
sensational. I think that's what silver screen
movies really, really, really aced. Yeah. 100%.
But this movie, this movie I will watch again.
Yeah. I will watch it again. I'll watch it again.
Yeah. It was good. Yeah. Okay. Maybe it was a
bit, maybe I was a bit. Heavy handed with the
five stars. Let's go four and a half. We'll go
four and a half. I can accept that. We'll get
four and a half. Dollar back to four and a half.
Cut that five. We'll get four and a half. No,
we'll have this discussion and we'll get you
back down there. It's fine. What? I'll maintain
this discussion. You can say five and then we'll
get back down to four and a half. Then it makes
me look like a liar. No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't.
Look, I don't know whether it was because of.
my fucking fandom of Guillermo del Toro, but
I think I looked at this with rose -coloured
glasses a little bit. I really loved the concept
that they did with the creature. Yeah. He was
fantastic. And, like, even what a body brought
to it with the hand movements. Yeah, it was always.
Kind of interesting, like he wasn't comfortable
in his own body. Every body part was doing its
own little thing because it's just them little
fucking nuances, them little touches that just
elevate it and made it great. His dreams of dead
men and not being comfortable in his own body.
And they were always different dreams. Yeah.
Fuck yeah. I really loved it. I can look past
its imperfections and still really enjoy this
movie. Yeah. Oh, dude, I'm the same with – there's
movies that have lots of problems, like Ready
Player One. I'll still watch Ready Player One
every week. Even though there's so many glaring
holes in it, there's so much – because I love
the book so much, I find so many holes in it.
I still watch it every week. I'd rather listen
to that book once a week than watch the movie.
100%. I do too, but 16 and a half hours or an
hour and 45 minutes. Well, that's what I thought
about Marty Supreme. Yep. Well, you got two for
one this week. Oh, dude, I've been wanting to
talk to you about Frankenstein since I watched
it. Good. Fuck, dude. All right, guys. Thanks
for joining us this week for Week in Review.
Please like, comment, subscribe. Get into Jeremy's
ears about the 10 -star system. I think we should
really implement that coming into Season 2. We
were actually talking about it earlier. We've
got some big surprises coming for Season 2, so
everybody tune in. It's going to be fun as shit.
Love, peace, chicken grease. Bye.
