In the premiere episode of Tom Cruise’s Biggest Swings - a special The Video Store miniseries leading up to the release of Cruise's new film DIGGER this October - hosts Charlie Clausen and Guy Davis dive into the enigma, and big career risks, of Hollywood’s most talked about movie star.

This episode breaks down Cruise's earliest and boldest departures from his top-gun movie-star archetype. Guy and Charlie review his raw, Oscar-nominated turn as disabled Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic in Oliver Stone’s Born on the Fourth of July (1989), as well as his widely debated, scene-stealing risk as the petulant, gothic vampire Lestat in Neil Jordan’s Interview with the Vampire (1994).

It might shock you to know that The Dollop podcast host Dave Anthony has never done a Wilosophy episode before. For the uninitiated, Dave has been on more TOFOP/FOFOP episodes than we can count, and has been slogging it in the podcast space for even longer than Wil and Charlie.

Wil and Dave reflect on their early days as podcast pioneers, recalling a time when the medium was a raw, DIY audio space before becoming pseudo TV Shows with way worse pay.

They dive deep into the rising threat of AI to human creativity, and how it really can't replace the joy of creating something for ourselves. Like have you ever looked at something AI created and been in awe? Really? Dave also shares personal insights on his stand-up journey, from getting hooked on making people laugh and getting kicked out of mime camp, to his acclaimed show Hothead.

Plus, they chat about environmentalism, time travel, parenting, breaking down American exceptionalism through historical storytelling (cue The Dollop), and navigating modern grief.

It's another Hypothetical episode of TOFOP but before we get into it, Producer Elise needs to be bullied into changing a particularly bad behaviour, which leads Charlie to plead with the audience to help him learn how to beat his daughter at Connect Four.

Then we get into two big hypotheticals. The first involving a Freaky Friday Body Swap with Elon Musk and whether or not you'd confront a friend who sent you some weird photos, and then deleted them just as you saw them... specifically Charlie marrying his dog Rosebud.
