Emily and Phil continue their “Films of the Todds” mini series, exploring the work of Haynes, Phillips, Solondz, and Field. This week, they take a look at Todd Phillips’ culture-shifting comedy The Hangover. Joining them is writer and cultural critic Jude Ellison Doyle, who brings a sharp, thoughtful perspective to one of the 2000s most talked-about comedies.
Together, they discuss how The Hangover redefined studio comedy, the film’s wild storytelling and breakout performances, and how its humor and reputation have aged in the years since its release. They dig into the movie’s massive box office impact, the rise of the “wolf pack,” and how Todd Phillips’ sensibilities changed the direction of mainstream comedy.
Whether you love or cringe at its legacy, this conversation breaks down what made The Hangover such a phenomenon and what it tells us about the era it came from.
