March 2nd, 2010
Cop Out is the first feature Kevin Smith has directed which he didn’t also write, perhaps that’s a bad thing as the TRS guys didn’t like it very much. For a comedy they didn’t laugh too often, they do enjoy the idea of a throwback to the 80s buddy cop movies, so much so in [...]

The Totally Rad Show – Episode 152: Rambly Wandering

Dan however disagrees completely and in fact [...]
