Tropic Thunder (2008)

Ben, Alex and guests spend far too much time talking about Robert Downey Jr., as we get down to taking in Ben Stiller's semi-satirical Hollywood farce, Tropic Thunder. We're embracing gossip this week and it's time to talk about the strangest period of Cruise's career to date - and what better time, given how balls-out insane his performance in this film is? As always, nothing we say is intended to offend so be warned, we try and tackle some of the more controversial elements the film throws up. Don't be feared that we've gone all serious though - there's a round of impressions and a line-a-rama to get you through. Music is by Dorian Kelly, artowrk is by Laura Highton and our contact details are at the end of the episode.
