Not taking themselves overly serious, the cast are a motley band of characters. In the previews on the dvd, Christina is horrified and intrigued to see Tommy Knight in Stitches. Brad noticed Michael Rooker in the preview of the Guilty-worthy movie, Hypothermia. In Guilty Pleasure gaming, Glenn talks about Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. He enjoys the retro feel and the great cut scenes.
