"Hot Rod" - The Classic That Was Never Supposed to Happen

Hot Rod is a childhood staple that bombed so hard at the box office that nobody saw it coming… but it somehow became one of the most rewatchable comedies ever made. We break down how this movie was originally written for Will Ferrell and how the Lonely Island completely took it over and made it into something nobody had ever seen before. We discuss why the whole movie is basically just a series of sketches and why that's exactly what makes it impossible to stop watching. And we get into all the wild behind the scenes stories that prove this movie was just as chaotic to make as it looks on screen.
