The Pitch: It’s a well known fact that Martin Scorsese, the most vocal hater of Marvel Studios films, only makes gangster movies and has never once expanded his cinematic vocabulary beyond those parameters (noting the sarcasm here in the parenthesis, just in case). But

Kitao Sakurai get a little more wild and crazy with their stunts in the narrative-driven prank movie
Bad Trip. That’s not the surprising part though. What will really catch you off guard is that no matter how raunchy and inappropriate
Bad Trip gets, it’s full of kindhearted, helpful people willing to lend a hand in some truly shocking and awkward scenarios.
Bad Trip has Eric André and Lil Rey Howery staging some crazy situations, with André taking a lot of embarrassment and faux injuries. Throughout the movie, he accidentally sticks a hand into a blender with bloody results, gets forced into sex by a gorilla in a low-rent zoo as attendees watch on in horror, and falls off a bar balcony after too many shots. The duo also get in a car-flipping accident that ends in a ball of flame.
