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 trying to find a long lost gun. This week, we are talking about The Mexican, written by J.H. Wyman and directed by Gore Verbinski.
Along the way, there is a lot of talk of The Sopranos, Steven Soderbergh, Michael Cerveris, Broadway musicals, Marc Maron, Mexico in movies, color grading, and of course, the late Gene Hackman.

Our exit today has us singing along to Neil Diamond’s "America." This week, we are talking about Saving Silverman, written by Hank Nelken and Greg DePaul and directed by Dennis Dugan.
After asking what Amanda Peet deserved to make such horrible movies, we discuss Jason Biggs, Jack Black, physical comedy, R. Lee Ermey, the awful woman trope, and Ross' bizarre family connection to Neil Diamond. Plus, Tripp might actually say some nice things about Big Daddy.

Our exit today has us hanging out with fashion models and trying to get our big break in the Cape Cod League. This week, we are talking about two films starring one of the true all stars of A Tripp Through Comedy: Freddie Prinze, Jr. First, we will talk about Head Over Heels, written by John J. Strauss, Ed Decter and David Kidd and directed by Mark Waters. Next, we will talk about Summer Catch, written by Kevin Falls and John Gatins and directed by Michael Tollin. Both films have Freddie Prinze Jr. involved in a romantic situation while trying to advance his career (sort of). They also did not make much noise at the box office. Along the way, we discuss some creepy subplots, Brian Dennehy, Bruce Davison, fake New York City, fake Cape Cod, our love of baseball, Rear Window, some questionable romances, and podcast regular Matthew Lillard. And Ross reads from Wikipedia lists. Plus, Tripp steals Ross' plugs.

Our exit today has us fighting drug cartels and rapidly evolving aliens. This week, we are talking about a pair of features starring one of our first ever best supporting performance winners, Orlando Jones. First, we will be talking about Double Take, written and directed by George Gallo. Next, we will talk about Evolution, written by Don Jakoby, David Diamond and David Weissman and directed by Ivan Reitman. While Double Take has Orlando Jones as more of a straight man to Eddie Griffin’s character, Evolution allows Jones to be more of the comedic center.
Along the way, we discuss Julianne Moore, Ghostbusters, Midnight Run, David Duchovny, Michael J. Fox, MadTV, alien creatures, lame action, Gilmore Girls, and plot twists galore! Theme music by Jonworthymusic.

Our exit this week has Tripp taking over the steering wheel and taking us to France. It's our traditional season finale "Tripp's Pick," and this year it is Patrice Leconte's The Girl on the Bridge.
In addition to having to endure Ross butchering the French language, we also get conversations about Anora, black-and-white, fairy tales, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, and all the different versions we could have had of this movie.
