The Red-Band Trailer for ‘The Interview’ Has Many Laughs, Zero Diplomacy

You like James Franco and Seth Rogen just cussin’ and being bros? You like Pineapple Express and This Is the End and Freaks and Geeks and all bits of Franco/Rogenabilia? The Interview (a.k.a. the film we could go to war with North Korea over) looks like a good bet. The first trailer was pretty convincing, but sometimes you’ve just gotta let some bros go red band.

Speaking of Franco/Rogenabilia: These same guys popped out of a cake for Jimmy Fallon’s 40th birthday.
