A Tripp Through Comedy

Sports Comedies: Play It to the Bone and Ready to Rumble


Listen Later

Our exit today has us examining two sports comedies centered around trying to get back in the ring. First, there is Play It To The Bone, written and directed by Ron Shelton. It stars Woody Harrelson and Antonio Banderas and centers around the boxing world. Second, there is Ready to Rumble, written by Steven Brill and directed by Brian Robbins. This stars Scott Caan and David Arquette and takes place in the world of professional wrestling.

Along the way, Tripp and Ross talk about some podcast favorites (Oliver Platt and Martin Landau), professional wrestling, a lot of underwritten female characters, some uncomfortable violence, and Tripp almost creates marital strife in his life.
