On this episode of Podcast Like It’s 2000s, Emily and Phil continue their “Films of the Todds” mini-series spotlighting Haynes, Phillips, Solondz, and Field with a look at Todd Phillips’ breakout hit, Old School (2003).


Joining them is actor and podcaster Griffin Newman (@grifflightning), who helps examine how Old School shaped 2000s studio comedy, its impact on the careers of its leads, and where it fits in the larger story of the early 21st-century comedy boom. They also discuss how the film reflects a shift in Hollywood’s approach to masculinity, adulthood, and rebellion.
