He wasnt much of a romantic, but he did love the poetry and majesty of myth.

Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon in The Trip to Greece

He loved to enliven the everyday with evocations of the ancient world.

(He was obsessed with Troy, and spent years writing a book about it.)

But to be fair, there has always been a dark edge to these films.

Even here, however, the jousting doesnt let up.

Brydon, famous for his impersonations, often uses them to find ways to get under Coogans skin.

); even Coogan cracks up at that one.

(For the record, Brydon does a way better Dustin Hoffman, while Coogans Mick Jagger kills.

I dont much care for either of their Brandos.)

The trip is ending, but its not over yet.
