These films, which ripped through the fourth wall, also have another common factor- Steve Coogan. In The Trip, Coogan and Winterbottom are once again collaborating and again they have brought Welsh comedian Rob Brydon along for the ride, and once again Coogan and Brydon are playing exaggerated versions of themselves. A BAFTA award-winning TV series in the UK, The Trip has been edited and condensed for a cinematic release in America and Australia.
