This episode is all about the first series of Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon’s The Trip (which was released as a TV show in the UK and a film in the US). It’s one of the most Back Page-coded pieces of media around – and from Michael Caine impressions to how the show mirrors the podcast’s dynamic, here we dig deep into why we love it so much.
Note: Samuel confused Rob Brydon’s Supernova with Nick Frost’s Hyperdrive early in this episode. He regrets the error.
