Join us as we fall down a rabbit hole of bizarre micro “films” that make us yearn for the days when Heather Graham was telling us about her sister being a drug addict.

Time to have a look at a film from the 90’s we’ve never heard of, which for Farley fan Boo Lemont is kind of shocking. That it’s a Christopher guest directed movie starring Matthew Perry , a man on the rise at the time makes it even more weird that it past us by. A madcap, screwball, laugh riot and a whole bunch of other 90’s standard tags Comedy that will have you rolling in the aisle with laughter… apparently In 1804, Leslie Edwards, a foppish aristocrat, and the loud, low-brow Bartholomew Hun...
