GOON
“Seann William Scott stars as Doug, a small town bouncer who, after physically defending his best friend (Jay Baruchel) at a hockey game, is recruited to play the enforcer for a minor league team, despite initial misgivings.”

SWS, channeling his inner goon...

The film is described as “A really violent “Happy Gilmore,” with a little “Die Hard” and “The Last Boy Scout” thrown in for good measure.”  The flick will have a R-rating, which gurantees hi-larious hockey hijinks and appropriate locker room shenanigans.  Which we here at WUYS love more than a fat kid loves cake.
“What’s Up, Ya Sieve” goes live on the air!
Personally, I would have given it a $100 million dollar budget and cast Ryan Reynolds and Joshua Jackson in the lead roles.
But that is just me…
