Old sketch group pals Nick Kocher and Brian McElhaney drop by to discuss their new film about two high college buds attempting to make it downstairs to grab their munchies. Available on Hulu: Pizza Movie. For the older sketch heads: they’re the comedy duo BriTANick and they discuss with Abe and Michael the challenges of making an indie movie in 2026 and the surprising successes and failures of basically making it yourself.
