This Friday, Universal Pictures releases R.I.P.D., a supernatural comedy about a couple of undead detectives whose job it is to battle the literally-ghoulish criminal element of Boston. Playing those two detectives are Jeff Bridges (as Roy, a wild west sheriff) and Ryan Reynolds (as Nick, a recently murdered cop on the hunt for his killer). If there are two nicer dudes in the movies today, I’d be just as honored to meet them as I was these gentlemen.

In the video below, you’ll watch myself, Bridges and Reynolds talk about the far-out concept of R.I.P.D., the is-he or isn’t-he case of Bridges’ method acting technique and what they’d like to see in a potential sequel. (Oh yes, and my resemblance to a certain actor, which the duo finds uncanny. I’m flattered..?)
