Show Notes
Comedian Troy Kinne finally confronts the cultural juggernaut he's somehow avoided for decades. Despite having visited Harry Potter attractions and pretending to understand Hogwarts house references, Troy experiences the magic of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" for the very first time. His genuine reactions provide both humor and insight as he navigates this beloved fantasy world with fresh perspective. The conversation explores what makes the film magical - the discovery of Diagon Alley, the wonder of Hogwarts, and Harry finding his first true friends. Yet Troy questions certain storytelling choices, wondering if Harry's journey could have had more resistance or personal agency. The hosts dive into the incredible British cast, from Alan Rickman's mysterious Snape to Robbie Coltrane's lovable Hagrid, while discussing J.K. Rowling's strict casting rules that kept the production authentically British. Feel free to drop us some comments, feedback or ideas on the speakpipe (link below).

Tim Minchin is back in the studio with Pete Helliar — and this time, he’s talking about a film he absolutely has not watched: the 1968 Steve McQueen classic Bullitt. Armed with nothing but confidence, guesswork, and a vague awareness of “that famous car chase”, Tim gives his best (and increasingly chaotic) take on a movie he hasn’t seen…until now. Expect wild plot guesses, questionable facts, and plenty of laughs as Pete tries — and mostly fails — to keep the conversation on the road.
