A Tripp Through Comedy

This week, Ross introduces Tripp to another Trip, this one on his way to a KISS concert in Detroit Rock City. Along the way, Tripp and Ross look at all the ways the movie intersects with other films they have already discussed, their views on 70s rock, how the film portrays Tripp's hometown of Detroit, and Tripp drops a surprising Muppet opinion at the very end of the episode!

This week, Tripp and Ross go to Hollywood and try making their own low-budget science fiction epic while they discuss Bowfinger. Along the way, they discuss the purpose of art, alternate casting choices, some pre-#metoo jokes that might not work too well, and what the qualifications are to be "Certifiably Fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes. Plus, a little bit of Muppet-talk and lots of love for another Ross-anointed National Treasure.

This week, Tripp and Ross get lost on a class trip to The White House with Dick. Along the way, Tripp gets hyperbolic about smashing the patriarchy and late 90s political scandals, while they also discuss great soundtracks, character actors, Clueless, and make some seemingly innocent dick jokes.

This week, Tripp and Ross take the stage in a small-town beauty pageant for a movie they see in wildly different ways. It's Drop Dead Gorgeous, and of course involves discussions of COPS, Cheers, inappropriate language, and Allison Janney's amazing 1999.

Another episode, another high school adventure. This time, Tripp and Ross are in Englewood with The Wood. While time hopping between flashbacks to the 80s and a 1999 wedding, they manage to discuss not only the film, but also RENT, accent work, Tripp's 17th birthday celebration, and a lot of unplanned comparisons to last week's film, American Pie. Plus, Tripp gives Ross a hard time for his extended introductions to games, and Ross gives Tripp a hard time for his embarrassing preview of next week's episode!

Once again, Tripp and Ross are back in high school. This time, though, it is with the almost-X-rated American Pie, a film that Tripp said last week he had fond memories of. Do they hold up two decades later?

Along the way, they discuss the all-star cast of up-and-comers, the films frankness, and a few other podcasts you might hear them on soon.

This week, Tripp and Ross adopt/babysit/kidnap a child as they talk about Big Daddy and the work of Adam Sandler. And because Ross needed help convincing Tripp of the genius of the Sandman, they welcome their first guest: the much more eloquent Mitchell Beaupre (Letterboxd). Along the way, they talk New York apartments, Hooters, Happy Madison productions, some very uncomfortable jokes, and then try to top each other with some high falutin' recommendations. The true suspense of the episode, however: will Ross ever be able to pronounce the last name of screenwriter Tim Herlihy.
