Himbology

The only gardener in the Fellowship, and with no great aspirations beyond marrying Rosie Cotton, there's no denying that our boy Samwise is a sweetheart. But is he our first Hobbit Himbo?

Following the delicious chaos of our Everything Everywhere All At Once episode, which had a frankly incredible runtime, please enjoy the Quick-Fire Round that Aandhi dropped on us roughly four hours into our delirious recording – classic dishes found at Chinese/Malaysian restaurants in small Australian towns.

Stick on your googly eyes and toast your bagels – it’s time to verse-jump into the impossibly great film Everything Everywhere All At Once, and ask the essential question: is Waymond Wang a Himbo? Ke Huy Quan’s performance was rich and multi-faceted enough to remind the world how great he is, but how Pure of […]

Holy Diver, Batman! Apologies to the Dio-phobics out there – it’s time to dive into JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure in search of a Himbo. Not to be confused with Joseph Joestar, Jodio Joestar, Johnny Joestar or Jolyne Cujoh, today we look at the eldest son of George Joestar, that broad boy with the Tank build, Jonathan […]

Ok, hear me out – before you start yelling YES OBVIOUSLY at your device, which you would be right to do, remember that there are some complexities to our 66 Long/31 Waist broad-shouldered lad. He's good with kids, he's a keen chef, he's – ah fuck, I'm really not adding any mystery here, am I?

All razor-sharp cheekbones and dull-eyed stares, Ben Stiller's Derek Zoolander from the 2001 film of the same name is an unconventional Himbo candidate for the metrosexual era. Stiller was probably more jacked than you remember (especially by the pre-MCU standards of the time), but is Derek a Himbo or a Himbecile?

Keanu Reeves is a figure well known to Himbologists, and Ted Theodore Logan (from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure [1989]) is one of Keanu's earliest and most vacant boys. But does the San Dimas teen and rock saviour have the makings of a human golden retriever?

Go go Gadget nostalgia! Childhood classics rarely age well, so does Inspector Gadget (of the original cartoon; Matthew Broderick does not enter consideration) live up to the lofty standards of himbodom? Can a cop even be a Himbo? Is there a limit on how many rhetorical questions I can fit in a paragraph?? As always, […]
