A Tripp Through Comedy

Childhood Friends Grow Up to Fall in Love: Keeping the Faith and Boys and Girls


Listen Later

Our exit today has us focusing on two romantic comedies that are centered on either coast over several years where friends from childhood discover their love for each other.

First, there is Keeping the Faith, written by Stuart Blumberg and directed by Edward Norton. The film centers on a love triangle between a rabbi, a priest and their childhood best friend. Next, we will talk about Boys and Girls, written by The Drews and directed by Robert Iscove. That film stars Freddie Prinze Jr. and Claire Forlani as two college kids who have a will they/won’t they relationship over the course of over a decade.

Along the way, Tripp and Ross talk about their own religious upbringings and college experiences, along with The Blair Witch Project, wasted legends of the screen, whether Anne Bancroft's filmography is "cool enough," the rise of Edward Norton, and Ross still won't let go of last week's American Psycho discussion!
