Our exit today has us making our ultimate mixtape and talking about our worst break ups. This week, we are talking about High Fidelity, based on the Nick Hornby novel and directed by Stephen Frears. And, we have picked up a passenger for the episode, friend of the show and quizmaster extraordinaire Taylor Cole!

Along the way, Taylor becomes the first person to ever compare High Fidelity to Taxi Driver, Ross uses the word "myopic" way too much, and we discuss the rise of Jack Black, John Cusack as romantic lead, the benefits of talking directly to the camera, Stevie Wonder, the musical and TV adaptations of High Fidelity, and what some actors will do for a great wig.

Plus, Taylor brings a fun game to stump Tripp and Ross!

Our exit today has us trying to win over the love of our next door neighbor with an accordion solo. Today, we are talking about Whatever It Takes, a teenage "adaptation" of Cyrano de Bergerac in the vein of 10 Things I Hate About You and She's All That.

Along the way, we discuss the many other ways this story has been told, the uncomfortable sexual politics of early 2000s high school, body hair, sex education, "Weird Al" Yankovic, and a bevy of TV Shows: Once and Again, One Tree Hill, Freaks and Geeks, The Practice, The West Wing, and Breaking Bad!

Our exit today has us looking at two immensely accomplished and talented directors producing work that does not live up to their reputations. First we will talk about The Next Best Thing directed by John Schlesinger. Next, we will discuss What Planet Are You From? directed by Mike Nichols. Both are relationship comedies of sorts and both seemed to be misfires from legendary directors who won Best Director Oscars in the 1960s.

Our exit today has us trying to figure out who killed the most hated woman in town. This week, we are talking about Drowning Mona, reuniting Bette Midler and Danny DeVito, written by Peter Steinfeld and directed by Nick Gomez.

Along the way, Tripp and Ross manage to touch on the brilliance of Danny DeVito, Agatha Christie, Gilmore Girls, various Batman movies, and rehash their never-ending Drop Dead Gorgeous battle.

Our exit today has us trying to finish up our follow up novel that we have been working on for the past 7 years. This week, we are discussing Wonder Boys, written by Steve Kloves based on the book by Michael Chabon and directed by Curtis Hanson. It also happens to be one of Tripp's favorite movies of all time.

Along the way, Tripp and Ross get to discuss Michael Douglas, Tobey Maguire, Robert Downey Jr., Gilmore Girls, 70s dad rock, lots of bizarre Spider-Man connections, and why people keep releasing Christmas movies in March.

Our exit today has us avoiding a hit on our heads. This week we are discussing The Whole Nine Yards, written by Mitchell Kapner and directed by Jonathan Lynn. It gives us another chance to praise the physical comedy of Matthew Perry, talk for the first time about Bruce Willis, and praise newcomer Amanda Peet.

Along the way, Tripp and Ross also discuss Robert De Niro, David Fincher's The Killer, the nature of farce, nude scenes that work and don't work, the late great Michael Clarke Duncan, Montreal films, and Tripp previews next week's film, a favorite of his that Ross has never seen.

Plus, Ross has finally seen a film in a foreign language!

Our exit today has us learning way too much about John Wayne’s…manhood. This week, we are discussing Hanging Up, written by Nora and Delia Ephron and directed by Diane Keaton, and featuring one of the worst posters we have seen so far.

Along the way, we wrestle with a lot of careers we haven't talked about yet: Keaton, Meg Ryan, the Ephrons, and National Treasure Walter Matthau. Plus, talk of Ferris Bueller's Day Off, cult comedies, soap operas, and watching a film that mirrors your own life in different ways. Plus, Ross blows Tripp away with this film's placement on a worst of the year list!
