In this first episode, Grace analyses the 2014 film Whiplash by Damien Chazelle. Whiplash is about an ambitious young man, Andrew, who enrols in a music conservatory to become a drummer. But he is mentored by Terence Fletcher, whose unconventional training methods push him beyond the boundaries of reason and sensibility.

Grace mainly discusses the iconic finale scene where Andrew embarks on a 5-minute drum solo, and how it challenges identity, liberation, oneness, and the will to power.
