A Tripp Through Comedy

Tripp and Ross

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.
