November 28, 2024 Meet the Parents (with Alex Perlman)
Our exit today has us going to meet our significant other’s parents and trying to make a good impression. This week, we are talking about Meet the Parents, written by Jim Herzfeld and John Hamburg based on a story by Greg Glienna and Mary Ruth Clarke, and our third film directed by Jay Roach. Is this a perfect Thanksgiving film? We think so!
Along the way, we bring along Alex Perlman to reflect back on the cultural phenomenon that was this movie and why they don't make this like anymore. Plus, Get Out, Godspell and Oklahoma!, the movie stardom of Robert De Niro, and a long journey through the development of this idea and film. And also SNL sketches to film, smoking in movies, the anxiety this film creates, and our love of character actors (James Rebhorn alert!).

November 21, 2024 Dr. T and the Women
Our exit today has us exploring the world of wealthy Dallas society. This week, we are talking about Dr. T & the Women, written by Anne Rapp and directed by Robert Altman.
Before we get going, of course, we have to talk about Robert Altman and his meaning for both of us. Then, we talk Dallas, Richard Gere, CinemaScores, Shelley Long, Breaking Bad, Lyle Lovett, and yet another questionable portrait of mental illness.

November 14, 2024 Nurse Betty
Our exit today has us living our fantasies in Los Angeles. This week, we are talking about Nurse Betty, written by John C. Richards and James Flamberg and directed by Neil LaBute. Along the way, we celebrate the ensemble of Morgan Freeman, Renee Zellweger, Chris Rock, and of course, our favorite, Allison Janney.
Plus, does this movie cure all of the indiscretions of a season's worth of comedies? One of us seems to think so!

November 07, 2024 Beautiful Women and Awful Men (Whipped and Woman on Top)
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.

October 31, 2024 The Crew
Our exit today has us living out our retirement from the mafia in Miami Beach. This week, we are talking about The Crew, written by Barry Fanaro and directed by Michael Dinner.
Along with continuing our love affair with Dan Hedaya, we also discuss the trend of old-man crime films, more talk of Space Cowboys, Ross' knowledge of Florida restaurants, the bizarre post-Oscar choices of Richard Dreyfuss and Burt Reynolds (including Krippendorf's Tribe), a surprise Oscar Isaac cameo, wasted opportunities, and Ross' attempt at a Burt Reynold's imitation.

October 24, 2024 Bring It On (with Mitchell Beaupre)
Our exit today has us saying we’ve got spirit yes we do, we’ve got spirit how bout you? This week we are discussing Bring It On, written by Jessica Bendinger and directed by Peyton Reed.
And we felt we couldn't do this leg of the Tripp alone, so we brought back one of our favorite passengers, Letterboxd's Mitchell Beaupre.
Along the way, we discuss Gabrielle Union, Buffy, more Friday Night Lights, the great cinematic Nixons, Bob Fosse, the Criterion Closet, and a surprising amount of Doris Day and Rock Hudson.
Plus, in previewing next week's episode, we dissect what might be the worst movie poster we've ever seen!

October 17, 2024 The Replacements
Our exit today has the football season in peril and we are getting our second chance at football immortality. This week, we are talking about The Replacements, starring Gene Hackman and Keanu Reeves.
Along the way, besides football talk, we discuss unions and racial issues, Friday Night Lights, sappy football scenes, sportscasters playing themselves, funny Gene Hackman, Keanu Reeves as "serious actor," and comparisons to Ocean's Eleven.

October 10, 2024 Coyote Ugly
Our exit today has us dancing on top of the bar to Pat Benatar songs. This week, we are talking about Coyote Ugly, written by Gina Wendkos (and up to seven other writers) and directed by David McNally. Warning: it made Tripp very anxious!
Along the way, we discuss Kevin Smith's possible contributions to the film (Spider-Man comics), early 2000s club culture, Diane Warren, Regina Hall, movie soundtracks, LeAnn Rimes, Sight & Sound magazine, and Armageddon as a Criterion Collection film.
Plus, in one of our wonkiest segments ever, we decipher the acts and plays in a fake newspaper in the film!

October 03, 2024 Nutty Professor II: The Klumps
Our exit today has us trying to repress our chaotic alter ego. This week we are talking about Nutty Professor II: The Klumps, directed by Peter Segal and starring Eddie Murphy, Eddie Murphy, Eddie Murphy, Eddie Murphy, Eddie Murphy, Eddie Murphy, Eddie Murphy, and Eddie Murphy.
Along the way, we discuss Eddie Murphy, the portrayal of obesity in films, Anne Bancroft, Poetic Justice, the problems with sequels, and whether or not Chris Elliot actually has a role in this film or not. Plus, Ross almost sets an A Tripp Through Comedy record with his choice for Unfunniest Moment!
