Summary
Our exit today has us learning about the dark, seedy underbelly of children’s programming. This week, we are talking about Death to Smoochy, written by Adam Resnick and directed by Danny DeVito.Since this is our first chance to talk about Robin Williams, we spend a lot of time focusing on his career and importance in Tripp and Ross' childhoods. But we also talk Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Edward Norton, children's television, the directing career of Danny DeVito, Hoffa, Scream, The Sopranos, our favorite Robin riffs, and a lot of confusion as to when the new Cat in the Hat movie actually comes out.
