Troy Kinne and Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone
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.

Troy Kinne's Favourite Films
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.Feel free to drop us some comments, feedback or ideas on the speakpipe (link below).Keep it fun and under a minute and you may get on the show.https://www.speakpipe.com/YASNYSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.Feel free to drop us some comments, feedback or ideas on the speakpipe (link below).Keep it fun and under a minute and you may get on the show.https://www.speakpipe.com/YASNYSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
