Stay ConnectedTripp has rejected mainstream comedies for most of his life.
Now, Ross is taking him film by film through the movies he sadly missed (or smartly avoided) until now.
Join us as we look at studio comedies from the late 90s and early 2000s. Week by week, we will tackle one (or two) films as Tripp tries to figure out what made them so funny and Ross explains the context Tripp avoided.
Our exit today has us questioning what it means to be in a relationship. This week, we are taking a look at two romantic comedies that take a look at relationships between beautiful women and awful men who don't deserve them. First, there is Whipped, starring Amanda Peet, and then Woman on Top, starring Penelope Cruz. Along the way, we avoid both movies by taking detours to talk about Cruz's transition to English, American Psycho, Lost, Harold Perrineau, fake documentaries, unlikeable characters, and anything else we can think of to distract us.
