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.0:00 – Intro: “Put the Bunny Back in the Box”1:21 – Budget & Box Office Guesses3:12 – Questions We’re Answering at the End6:29 – Opening Scene & “How Do I Live”9:50 – Cameron Poe: Worst Father of All Time15:29 – Meeting Cyrus the Virus & the Convicts16:59 – John Malkovich Signed On Without Reading the Script19:21 – The Hijacking & Dave Chappelle20:04 – Tobler’s First-Watch Reaction24:42 – Garland Greene28:25 – “Put the Bunny Back in the Box”30:31 – Nic Cage’s Roundhouse Kick33:13 – The Cigarette Flick41:52 – The Vegas Landing44:44 – The Ending & Garland at the Tables48:22 – The Strange 90s Closing Credits50:06 – Answering the Questions54:49 – Next Up: Interstellar

Sebbo and Tobler catch up on Tobler’s solo Tame Impala gig, Sebbo’s night at the dogs for the last Million Dollar Chase, and the response to the screen time nostalgia video. Sebbo also plugs the Sebbo’s World quiz, with a rundown of what’s in it and last week’s scores. They answer a YouTube question on how to run a Wimbledon table tennis tournament in a share house, then Sebbo goes through the history of the witch trials. The second half is early internet nostalgia, covering MSN Messenger, LimeWire, burning CDs and blue screens of death, before they finish on the Mama Cass ham sandwich myth and an appreciation of Rose Byrne.0:00 – Tame Impala on a Monday4:52 – Million Dollar Chase10:12 – Sebbo’s World Quiz18:15 – Weekend Algo Notes23:38 – Q&A: How to Run a Wimbledon29:05 – The Witch Trials38:41 – Early/Peak Internet46:43 – LimeWire, CDs & iPods52:00 – MSN Messenger56:34 – True Detective & Nic Cage58:13 – Mama Cass & the Ham Sandwich Myth1:04:20 – Rose Byrne Appreciation

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.

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

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.

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.0:00 – I'm Already Done with Silly Season3:31 – Levels Golf Day11:55 – End of Season Work Lunch17:40 – Tobler's 10K Surprise22:37 – Sebbo's World 4am Meeting23:38 – Solo Dad Duty on No Sleep25:15 – Grand Final Boys Lunch29:06 – Grand Final Thoughts38:20 – Q&A: Conspiracy Theories49:02 – Q&A: Bond vs Ethan Hunt53:53 – Sapphire Coast Oysters1:04:33 – Venue Final: Candy's vs Soho1:06:27 – Got Through It

Sebbo and Tobler dive into Vertical Limit, making the case it's a perfect, endlessly rewatchable disaster movie — great ensemble cast, genuine moral quandaries, and a title drop line that sums up the whole film. They break down standout moments like the opening rope-cutting scene, the helicopter rescue, and Montgomery Wick's backstory, plus a detour imagining how the movie got pitched as the ultimate "cocaine movie." They also answer YouTube questions on the best Entourage cameo and roles that would've been ruined by different casting, before setting up next week's pick: Goodfellas.0:00 – Intro: hyped for Vertical Limit1:35 – Prison Break algorithm shoutout & Martin McDonagh recommendations3:23 – Shout-out: Steve Le Marquand & Last Train to Freo5:40 – YouTube Q&A: Best Entourage cameo8:29 – YouTube Q&A: Roles that would've been ruined by different casting (Aragorn, Neo)14:19 – Budget & box office guesses17:09 – Opening thoughts: pacing, characters & moral quandaries23:12 – The opening scene & cutting the rope27:00 – Base camp & meeting the cast33:28 – The "cocaine movie" bit38:10 – Skip stays behind, the climb begins39:38 – Avalanche & Tom's fall40:00 – The helicopter rescue scene42:02 – Peter & Annie's reconciliation43:20 – Cyril, Monique & the near-death sequence47:29 – Montgomery Wick's backstory reveal48:13 – The "vertical limit" line49:34 – Tom's death & the final rescue push52:19 – Pete's ledge jump & saving Annie53:52 – The ending & confrontation with Paxton56:32 – Wrap-up & closing montage58:56 – Next up: Goodfellas

Description: Tobler's out, so Sebbo runs solo through a batch of YouTube questions — top actors who never quite became the star, Better Call Saul vs Breaking Bad, and when Heat 2 is finally dropping — before making his case for Speed as the ultimate 90s action movie. He breaks down Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock and Dennis Hopper's iconic villain turn, the bus setup, and where it ranks against Terminator 2, The Matrix and Heat.
