Oh hi,

This week on FilmSack we are rollin’ with Brolin… and THRASHIN’ this West-Side-Karate-Kid-Romeo-and-Juliet story on wheels… that set the skate ramp of LA punks vs. “mom left you a note and 30 dollars” worth of Valley dudes street-board culture on FIRE… nah, I’m just Josh’in… it wasn’t a fight, sis! It was just a jerk joke… we were just playing around with some boxing gloves filled with what I assume were shards of glass and rocks, tied to the ends of Tommy’s disjoined nunchucks, and then proceeded to beat the ever-loving shit out of each other until the cops showed up… you know… jokes… you say you want more jerk jokes? Hey… then just watch us tossin’ jacks into the skate bowl of this 1986 downhill death ride of a love story that is now sucking teeth and crying at the bottom of your favorite streaming service with ads. (Sucks Teeth) ouch

Anywho, oh..oh ok Velvet, so you already took Chrissy to the Bus Station did ya… darn. Well, obviously I must have a concussion as well as a broken arm because I can clearly see Chrissy right behind you in the fricken window of the Dagger house. C’mon Velvet. Lie Better already. 

Randy, (whistles) you are going to be the prettiest girl at the party which is totally not a thing I ever told my little sisters cause I’m not a weirdo. SKATE OR DIE!
