Sebbo and Tobler take on their first proper comedy, Tropic Thunder, starting with why they don’t think comedies get made like this anymore and how Ben Stiller came up with the idea on an Army boot camp. They go through the fake trailers, the Platoon spoof opening, Danny McBride, Robert Downey Jr’s Oscar-nominated turn, the binoculars scene and Tom Cruise as Les Grossman.

For the first guest episode, Sebbo sits down with his oldest friend, Streety, for the origin story of their friendship, from meeting at primary school to the toy guns and blood capsules, the house parties and the Wimbledon tournament. They get into the Prada nights and the characters they stayed in all night, and how having kids has brought the silliness back. Streety then runs through his top five movies and the B-side film that goes with each, and they close with a gun-to-your-head round of three songs to save humanity.0:00 – First Guest Ever: Streety0:57 – The Genesis Story3:32 – Action Movies, Toy Guns & Blood Capsules6:24 – Burning the Army Men8:26 – Building Imaginary Worlds & the Babysitting Games17:21 – The Redfern House18:20 – Wimbledon House Party23:00 – Prada Nights27:44 – The Prince Albert Castle Story31:42 – Streety’s Top 5 Movies that define him47:12 – The B-Sides59:21 – 3 Songs to Save Humanity Hosted on Acast.

Sebbo and Tobler start with the New York Times' list of the best shows of the 21st century, going through the top 20 and picking three shows people haven't actually seen. They then review Goodfellas, with Tobler watching it for the first time, covering the cold open, the Copacabana tracking shot, Joe Pesci's "you think I'm funny" scene, the cream needle drop and what a 1970s heist is worth today. They also get into the ending, one gripe about Ray Liotta breaking the fourth wall, and why it sits in Sebbo's top five.
