49: School for Scoundrels


Listen Later

Emily and Phil continue their “Films of the Todds” mini series—highlighting the work of Haynes, Phillips, Solondz, and Field—by revisiting Todd Phillips’ under-the-radar 2006 comedy School for Scoundrels.


They break down the film’s blend of mean-spirited humor and underdog charm, its place in the landscape of mid-2000s comedies, and how Billy Bob Thornton and Jon Heder play off each other as mismatched teacher and student. Phil and Emily also explore what this film says about the Todd Phillips formula and how it fits alongside the more famous hits of his career.


Whether you’re a die-hard Phillips fan or discovering School for Scoundrels for the first time, this episode offers a fresh look at a forgotten entry in the 2000s comedy canon.
