Before Matt officially joined the show as a co-host he was invited on as guest to talk about one of his favourite movies of all time, ‘Swingers’. Now returning in an official capacity to the ToB Film Club, he brings with him another film from his top-3, another comedy, ‘Kingpin’. A Farrelly brothers film that followed up their smash hit breakout, ‘Dumb and Dumber’, and you can see the through lines. Like ‘Dumb and Dumber’ we follow two guys who are down on their luck as they head out on the road where chaos and hilarity ensue. Unfortunately it wasn’t the hit they hoped despite a killer cast, including legends Bill Murray, Randy Quaid and Woody Harrelson and as a result it didn't leave as large of a cultural footprint as some of the other Farrelly brothers films from this era. It's been nearly 30 years so now seems as good a time as any to revisit this sleeper and see what everyone was missing back then.
Next Month: We seem to be unable to escape the 90’s, and why would we want to when there’s still so much to see! For November we take a look at a proto-Matrix movie by Alex Proyas - things get weird (probably) in the 1998 film ‘Dark City’.

After an extended hiatus, ToB returns with a fresh voice on the second chair. Julian is joined by long-time friend of the show, Matt Tworek. We spend this first episode of the "new" ToB getting to know him and setting up what else is to come.
Sure, Matt's been on the show before, covering 1 of his top 3 favourite movies 'Swingers'. But the real question remains... do Matt and Julian's tastes align? Well we put this to the test by having Julian pitch all the movies he's been watching over the last year to Matt to see which ones pique his interest.
Plus, look forward to our next Film Club - which will round out 2 out of 3 of Matt's favourites, as we cover a Farrelly brothers classic from the 90's, 'Kingpin'.
