Previous Episode: Double Dragon: But Steven, Why?!

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are questioning our very existence deep in an Asian jungle. We watched the 2008 film from Ben Stiller, Tropic Thunder.

Both of us have worked on enough film sets to be able to definitively say that, while this movie is a fun, action-packed romp, it could also be a completely factual documentary. That’s how accurate the performances were.

We would never wish having to work with a method actor on any of you, but if you’ve been around one, then you know what we mean. It’s a harrowing experience, much like being fired upon by relentless adversaries.

Enjoy this episode about a film that’s both hilarious and completely, 100% accurate in every possible way. Yeah, even the Tom Cruise stuff.
