More from Sebbo's World
Sebbo and Tobler review Con Air, with Tobler watching it for the first time and both of them guessing the budget and box office before they start. They go through the “How Do I Live” Oscar nomination, John Malkovich signing on without reading the script, Nic Cage’s roundhouse kick and the cigarette flick they call the coolest moment in an action movie. They finish by answering their own questions, including whether it beats The Rock and where Cyrus ranks among 90s villains, and pick Interstellar for next week.
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. They also take on the “can you make this today?” question and rank where it sits among the great comedies of the 2000s. Next week’s pick: Con Air.
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.
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. Next week's pick: Tropic Thunder.
Sebbo recaps the biggest week he's had in three years, from the Levels Golf Day and the end of season work lunch to Tobler's 10K surprise, a 4am Sebbo's World meeting and solo dad duty on no sleep. He shares his thoughts on the grand final and the Knights' loss before answering YouTube questions on conspiracy theories and who wins between Bond and Ethan Hunt. He then makes the case for Sapphire Coast oysters and wraps up with the venues bracket final, Candy's vs Soho.
