This week the lads review the 2018 American biographical drama Beautiful Boy, directed by Felix van Groeningen and adapted from the memoirs of David and Nic Sheff.
Starring Steve Carell, Timothée Chalamet, Maura Tierney and Amy Ryan, the film charts a father–son bond stretched thin by addiction and the desperate attempts to hold a family together.
Things unravel early when the Aussie confidently announces the wrong film title, setting the tone for the episode.
The Scotsman follows with a building-site story delivered so badly he’s forced to retell it — and the second attempt hits so hard the Aussie actually cries.
Questions are raised about his emotional stability, possible manopause, and whether the pressure of podcasting is finally getting to him.
From there the pair dive into a spirited argument over Chalamet’s casting, the Aussie doubling down with his proud Adam Sandler–style “Challllaaammeett” routine.
The Scotsman counters by recommending Stephen Graham’s Adolescence as the real must-watch for any parent, leading into a candid discussion about drugs, fear, mistakes, and what parents really try to teach their kids.
Rohan Reminisces takes the show back to 2018, weaving through the Thai cave rescue, the Beaconsfield mine story, and an unexpected confession about the Aussie’s romantic preferences.
They somehow end up talking MASH*, testing each other’s memory of the cast, and the Scotsman brings trivia he insists proves Beautiful Boy isn’t the masterpiece the Aussie believes it is.
