RSS Feed Description[]
- Repeat Flop House offenders Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl team up in The Ugly Truth, a terrible romantic comedy that Stuart really, really wanted us to watch for some reason. Maybe because he's just an ol' softie! Meanwhile, Elliott pitches his new hit tragicomedy Bad Date, Stuart reveals his NBC sitcom holodeck fantasy, and Dan uses the word "whack" as in "out of whack" but is still mercilessly made fun of by his co-hosts as if he was trying to get gangsta.

Much in the same way, just reading a slash fiction piece with the three of us— Stuart: We couldn't be lovers anymore. Elliott: Yeah, our sexual relationship had to end.
