It‘s This Meets That

When we last left Russ, Jared, Thaís, and Brady, the gang was talking about how nobody on the team understood any of the plays and it seemed like they might be doomed.

Will the cr...

And we're back! When we last left Russ and Jared, Nate Cooper was meeting new character, Cole Slawsen, and about to head out on a double date with the titular "hottie" and "nottie."

The Hottie and the Nottie (2008) features Paris Hilton, Joel David Moore, Christine Lakin, The Greg Wilson, Adam Kulbersh, and Johann Urb.

Russ and Jared are back with a new trailer, this time for sci-fi "thriller," Self/less (2015), starring Ryan Reynolds, Ben Kingsley, Matthew Goode, Natalie Martinez, and Victor Garber.

Find out how bad it really is in the episo...
