Synopsis
The Couch Trip (1988) is an American comedy from Michael Ritchie you can watch online on iFILM. An escaped mental patient talks his way into hosting a radio shrink show.
Con man John Burns breaks out of a prison psychiatric ward and turns up in Los Angeles, where he passes himself off as Dr. Lawrence Baird and takes over a call-in therapy show while the real host, Dr. Maitlin, is away at a European conference. His blunt, no-filter advice sends the ratings through the roof. The catch: Maitlin runs into the actual Baird at that same conference and sets out to expose the fraud.
Dan Aykroyd carries the whole circus, with Walter Matthau cheerfully grifting alongside him as a small-time hustler. It's an old-fashioned, agreeably reckless late-'80s comedy for Aykroyd fans. Stream The Couch Trip (1988) online on iFILM.
