A Tripp Through Comedy episodes
- Martin Lawrence Double Feature (What's the Worst That Could Happen and Black Knight)
Our exit today has us at two films starring A Tripp Through Comedy All Star Martin Lawrence. First, we talk about What’s The Worst That Could Happen, written by Matthew Chapman and directed by Sam Weisman. Next, we talk about Black Knight, written by Darryl Quarles, Peter Gaulke, and Gerry Swallow and directed by Gil Junger. Both films try to highlight Martin Lawrence’s comedic gifts but to little success (depending on which of us you ask).
Along the way, we discuss lots of Lawrence, but also Danny DeVito, Do the Right Thing, renaissance fairs, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, heist films, some baffling acting choices, great ensembles, Senate confirmation hearings, and wasted British legends.

1 hr 29 min - Freddy Got Fingered
Our exit today has us following in the footsteps of the Backwards Man. This week, we are talking about Freddy Got Fingered, written by Tom Green and Derek Harvie and directed by Tom Green.Along the way, we drop many more fancy words than you would expect given the movie: transgressive cinema, Dadaism, surrealism. Does that mean we like the movie? No. But it does give us a chance to talk John Waters, Drew Barrymore, Julie Hagerty, Razzie awards, MTV films, the Marx Brothers, Rip Torn's 1990s, and Tripp's high school car!

1 hr 10 min - Joe Dirt (with Jake Ziegler)
Our exit today has us traveling on now, ‘cause there’s too many places we’ve got to see. This week, we are talking about Joe Dirt, written by David Spade and Fred Wolf and directed by Dennie Gordon. And we brought along a special guest -- Jake Ziegler -- who in the spirit of his podcast "Never Did It" chose a movie he had never seen and was expecting to hate!
Along the way, we dissect what works and doesn't about David Spade, talk Silence of the Lambs, Deliverance, Forrest Gump, Steve Martin, southern movies, Mike Judge, Kid Rock, some avoided casting choices, and poor Adam Beach holding up the honor of all Native Americans in movies of this time.

About A Tripp Through Comedy
From the publisher's feed
Tripp 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.
