“Zach Galifianakis and his oddball crew take a road trip to complete a series of high-profile celebrity interviews.”

Directed by Scott Akerman, Between Two Ferns: The Movie is the movie version (duh) of the absolutely over the top internet talk show hosted by actor Zach Galifianakis. The interviews are packed full of dry humor and the most ridiculous questions you could possibly ask someone while somehow managing to keep a straight face. I for one love Galifianakis and this show so I am very much looking forward to the movie. Check out the official trailer below!!

“Zach Galifianakis dreamed of becoming a star. But when Will Ferrell discovered his public access TV show “Between Two Ferns” and uploaded it to Funny or Die, Zach became a viral laughing stock. Now Zach and his crew are taking a road trip to complete a series of high-profile celebrity interviews and restore his reputation. Directed by Scott Aukerman, BETWEEN TWO FERNS: THE MOVIE is a laugh-out-loud comedy that gives new insight into the curmudgeonly, beloved outsider Zach Galifianakis has created over the years.”
