Michigan State Ph.D. candidate Kate Dibiasky has made a terrifying discovery – Brent and David’s microphones still work! Worried that our one movie a month pace might cause us to run out of movies by the year 3800, we took an 8 month break to let the Oscars get a better headstart. We’re back to talk about Adam McKay’s comet comedy nominated for four Academy Awards this month. We’re still knocking off the rust, so hopefully this won’t be a total disaster (this is where McKay would cut to a quick scene making sure you understand my use of the word disaster is a reference to the film’s plot, because you probably couldn’t have figured that out). Give it a listen!

Tobey Maguire Versus Topher Grace

Some background: this comparison started mentally for me back in college, when my friend Pritesh asked if I wanted to see Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! playing on TV – he said it’s that movie with the Tobey Maguire lookalike. For those of you not acquainted with the quaint charm of WADWTH!, this romantic comedy stars Topher Grace as the Tobey Maguire lookalike. It made me wonder – was my friend comparing these two because they looked alike, or because their names looked alike? But more germane to this piece, who is just better?

There is no objective way to approach who is a better actor; so I thought, why not expand this subjectively to find out who is the better ultimate human being, utilizing arbitrary categories for comparison?

That’s right. It’s THE TOPH VS THE TOBE.

Physical Attributes

Topher Grace: white, skinny and a surprising 5’10¾” – a quick aside, the ultra specific 5’10¾” is the kind of height people who are actually 5’8” give. He’s a spry 38-year old and was born in NYC. East Coast.

Tobey Maguire: white, skinny and a just-about-right 5’8”. An elder 41-year old hailing from Santa Monica, California repping the West Coast.

Topher has the reach on Tobey, but this is for the best everything, not just the best in a fight. So we’ll call the first round of the East Coast / West Coast battle a draw.
