Episode notes
With Guy Branum, Wynter Mitchell, Oliver Wang and Margaret Wappler.
This week, the gang tries to get rid of some of the election anxiety surrounding this week by discussing their favorite dumb comedies. They discuss everything from Judd Apatow to the demise of Adam Sandler, whether physical comedy can be smart, and why so many comedies are tied to “The College Experience”. Guy proposes a theory to explain why Troop Beverly Hills has a longer shelf life than Down And Out In Beverly Hills and Wynter talks about why she loves Mike Judge.
With Guy Branum, Wynter Mitchell, Oliver Wang and Margaret Wappler.
