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.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-11T16:19:59.097830+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-tripp-through-comedy-7045072"},"episode":{"title":"Death to Smoochy","slug":"death-to-smoochy","published_at":"2026-02-26T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-tripp-through-comedy-7045072/death-to-smoochy","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-tripp-through-comedy-7045072","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/death-to-smoochy--70295392","audio_url":"https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/70295392/2dcbc4ae_0c1d_6ae6_01f3_bb1fa2b5518a.mp3","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.
