Charlie Clausen and Guy Davis return to The Video Store for the third installment of "Tom Cruise’s Biggest Swings," diving deep into two of the actor's most memorable mid-2000s roles: Michael Mann’s sleek L.A. thriller Collateral (2004) and Ben Stiller’s explosive satire Tropic Thunder (2008).
We break down Mann’s early adoption of digital cinematography, Cruise’s cold-blooded precision as the grey-haired hitman Vincent, Jamie Foxx’s Oscar-nominated performance, and why Collateral serves as a masterclass in script structure.
Shifting gears to 2008, we revisit the post-couch-jump era to dissect Cruise’s unhinged, profanity-laced turn as studio head Les Grossman. They explore the origins of the character's signature fat hands and dancing, debate whether Tropic Thunder’s broad Hollywood satire still holds up, and examine the rare instances where Cruise has completely shed his traditional movie-star persona.

Wil sits down with actor, comedian, and improviser Amy Ruffle for a hilarious and moving conversation about resilience, creative growth, and finding your voice.
Amy opens up about her life-altering diagnosis of two benign brain tumours blocking her brain's drainage system, which forced her to sleep upright, sauna daily, and ultimately served as the catalyst to stop making excuses and pursue solo stand-up comedy.
Then we get into exploring the transition from team-based improv to the vulnerability of solo storytelling, the mechanics behind Amy's vodcast Sauna Sessions (and the bizarre public sauna behaviour she's witnessed, like steam-room burritos), and why authentic human connection on stage matters more than ever.

Legendary Australian actor Stephen Curry (The Castle, The King) jumps in the Wilosophy studio for an honest and hilarious chat while in the thick of rehearsals for Spamalot at Melbourne's Athenaeum Theatre. He goes into sharing an exact name with basketball superstar Steph Curry, including an awkward international flight encounter over a Bank of Melbourne debit card, before breaking down Stephen’s intensive musical theatre crash course, his 2:00 AM panic over box step choreography, and relying on his 12-year-old son as his dialogue coach.
What does it look like to have a decades-long career in Aussie entertainment, and being stopped and quoted lines from the 97' cult classic? Stephen reflects on how his breakout role in The Castle shaped his early expectations, shares behind-the-scenes stories from television projects like Blow Up Australia, and unpacks his ultimate life philosophy: "No is the second best answer."
And finally we jump into Stephen's disastrous disastrous 1997 Comedy Festival Gala set and winning The Amazing Race alongside his "more handsome" brother Bernie. Plus an insightful look at handling rejection, embracing nerves as "free energy," and surviving the madness of showbiz.

Hawthorn v Brisbane delivers the most jaw-dropping finals game of the year, and Wil and Charlie break down why this 39-goal classic felt like AFL at its absolute best.
They trace the wild momentum swings, hidden defensive brilliance, and late calls that had everyone shouting, while making the case for Nick Watson as a generational small forward and celebrating Will Ashcroft's big-game class.
Then it's Grand Final talk: Brisbane's sustained excellence under Chris Fagan, Fremantle's strange path to the decider, and plenty of trademark chaos—wizards, Avengers comparisons, and Norm Smith debates!
