    Vertical Limit Review: A 2000's Masterpiece

    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."

    The Battle of Marathon, 'The Rock' Review & Golf Mental Breakthroughs

    Sebbo takes us back to 490 BC for one of his favourite battles in all of history — Marathon. A heavily outnumbered Athenian army staring down the might of the Persian Empire on the beach, and somehow turning the tide. It's a theme that runs right through Greek history — massively outgunned, written off before the fight even starts. Then it's back to the movies for a deep dive into The Rock — favourite scenes, lines, characters, and there's no shortage of any of them in this one. He also opens up about the heartbreak of losing a golf comp by a single stroke, goes down a rabbit hole on his love of general history and lost treasure, and a grab bag of everything else that's been rattling around his head this week.
