Comedian, writer, and self-made sketch phenomenon Troy Kinne joins Pete to finally tackle one of the biggest cultural juggernauts of the last 30 years: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.

Despite building a career on sharp comedy and internet-savvy sketches, Troy has somehow gone decades without watching a single Harry Potter film - though he’s faked his way through theme park rides, photo ops, and conversations along the way. Now, for the very first time, he sits down to experience the story of “the boy who lived.”

Pete and Troy dive into why he skipped the series, what it’s like to watch the film fresh as an adult, and how it compares to his three all-time favorite movies: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Boogie Nights, and Donnie Brasco. Expect big laughs, sharp insights, and plenty of nostalgia as they unpack both the magic and the myths around one of cinema’s most beloved franchises.

In Part Two of our chat with global bestseller and Bad Guys creator Aaron Blabey, Pete finally sits down with him to unpack Richard Linklater’s 12-year epic Boyhood. Did it live up to the “one of the greatest films ever made” hype? Aaron offers an honest, first-watch reaction - from admiring the ambition and Ethan Hawke’s slow transformation, to feeling a little outside the film’s quiet rhythms. Along the way they swap stories about parenting, nostalgia, on-set logistics and even what Aaron’s working on next. A thoughtful, funny debrief on a movie that divides audiences as much as it inspires them.

We’re back! In this special two-part return, Pete is joined by global bestseller and Bad Guys creator Aaron Blabey.

Plus, Pete shares listener messages and lifts the lid on the show’s new two-part format, with next week’s episode devoted entirely to Richard Linklater’s Boyhood.

She reveals whether it still holds up, what it's like working with Steve Carell in the flesh, and debates the true power of a jazz flute.

There is one film that is considered the mother of modern horror films, and has lived in the pop culture psyche unlike any other film... The Bates Motel has truly been terrifying audiences for decades.

And although it is an Alfred Hitchcock, Froomes has never seen Psycho... until now!
