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":"2026-09-10T14:18:40.953783+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-tripp-through-comedy-7045072"},"episode":{"title":"Eddie Murphy Double Feature (Showtime and I, Spy)","slug":"eddie-murphy-double-feature-showtime-and-i-spy","published_at":"2026-09-10T06:13:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-tripp-through-comedy-7045072/eddie-murphy-double-feature-showtime-and-i-spy","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-tripp-through-comedy-7045072","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/eddie-murphy-double-feature-showtime-and-i-spy--75042605","audio_url":"https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/75042605/72542c36_0ec4_e341_e552_91d71f912043.mp3","summary":"Our exit today has us taking on the bad guys and slinging one liners. This week, we are talking about a pair of action comedies starring A Tripp Through Comedy all star Eddie Murphy. First, we are going to be talking about Showtime, written by Keith Sharon, Alfred Gough, and Miles Millar and directed by Tom Dey. Next, we are going to talk about I Spy, written by Cormac Wibberley, Marianne Wibberley, Jay Scherick, and David Ronn and directed by Betty Thomas. Both films have Eddie Murphy in a buddy cop scenario, a trope that has been highly successful for him in the past.Along the way, we talk a lot about Eddie Murphy and his career, along with Beetlejuice, Tim Curry, The Royal Tenenbaums, Hill Street Blues, The Brady Bunch Movie, Robert De Niro, Owen Wilson, Henry Winkler, movies based on Disney rides, and Tripp's favorite mini-genre: Glass Elevator Cinema.Theme music by Jonworthymusic.Powered by RiversideFM. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CFF Films⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with Ross and friends. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Movies We've Covered on the Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Letterboxd. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Movies Recommended on the Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Letterboxd.","meta_description":"Our exit today has us taking on the bad guys and slinging one liners.
