Matthew McConaughey Pays the Price in First Between Two Ferns: The Movie Trailer

You never know what’s going to happen when you find yourself sitting across from Zack Galifianakis and betwixt two ferns. Behold, the first trailer for Between Two Ferns: The Movie, which takes Galifianakis’s beloved Funny or Die web sketch and gives it the feature film adaptation we’ve been waiting for. There is nobody better at playing painfully awkward and emotionally volatile like Galifiaiankis, and his celebrity interviews gone horribly wrong has been one of Funny or Die‘s most consistently funny bits over the years.

There’s no such thing as flawless art. Flaws are baked right into anything a human being creates, and often they are hard to disassociate from the strengths that make any art worthwhile.

Unless she can come up with that ending, the actual witch is going to make life a living hell for her.
