Description

Paul and Amy dig into Variety’s list of the 100 greatest comedies of all time, celebrating the highs, questioning the rankings, and debating what makes a movie truly funny. From The Naked Gun taking the top spot to spirited discussions around Some Like It Hot, Annie Hall, Groundhog Day, and The Great Dictator, they unpack the list’s surprises, omissions, and the impossible challenge of ranking comedy at all.
