Along the way, we talk David Duchovny (Twin Peaks! The X-Files! Red Shoe Diaries!), Minnie Driver, Chicago comedy, female directors who don't get enough of a shot, Jim Belushi, Archie Bunker, and of course, our preference for tap or stilled water.

Our exit today has us making our ultimate mixtape and talking about our worst break ups. This week, we are talking about High Fidelity, based on the Nick Hornby novel and directed by Stephen Frears. And, we have picked up a passenger for the episode, friend of the show and quizmaster extraordinaire Taylor Cole! Along the way, Taylor becomes the first person to ever compare High Fidelity to Taxi Driver, Ross uses the word "myopic" way too much, and we discuss the rise of Jack Black, John Cusack as romantic lead, the benefits of talking directly to the camera, Stevie Wonder, the musical and TV adaptations of High Fidelity, and what some actors will do for a great wig. Plus, Taylor brings a fun game to stump Tripp and Ross! Thememusic by Jonworthymusic. Powered by RiversideFM. The Great American Pop Culture Quiz Show, hosted by Taylor Cole.

Our exit today has us trying to win over the love of our next door neighbor with an accordion solo. Today, we are talking about Whatever It Takes, a teenage "adaptation" of Cyrano de Bergerac in the vein of 10 Things I Hate About You and She's All That. Along the way, we discuss the many other ways this story has been told, the uncomfortable sexual politics of early 2000s high school, body hair, sex education, "Weird Al" Yankovic, and a bevy of TV Shows: Once and Again, One Tree Hill, Freaks and Geeks, The Practice, The West Wing, and Breaking Bad!

Our exit today has us looking at two immensely accomplished and talented directors producing work that does not live up to their reputations. First we will talk about The Next Best Thing directed by John Schlesinger. Next, we will discuss What Planet Are You From? directed by Mike Nichols. Both are relationship comedies of sorts and both seemed to be misfires from legendary directors who won Best Director Oscars in the 1960s. Along the way, we discuss how dated these films probably felt in 2000, our love of Garry Shandling and Rupert Everett, a Madonna musical misfire, film critic Lou Leminick, another Michael Vartan questionable character, and Ross discovers a movie that may be "too arty" for Tripp!

Our exit today has us trying to figure out who killed the most hated woman in town. This week, we are talking about Drowning Mona, reuniting Bette Midler and Danny DeVito, written by Peter Steinfeld and directed by Nick Gomez. Along the way, Tripp and Ross manage to touch on the brilliance of Danny DeVito, Agatha Christie, Gilmore Girls, various Batman movies, and rehash their never-ending Drop Dead Gorgeous battle.
