FEZ JOINS THE FUZZ

In what’s probably the best case of spot-on casting for a film that no one will give a shit about (and for good reason), everyone’s favorite lisping immigrant, Wilmer Valderama (That ’70s Show) will be reprising the role of Latin motorcycle cop, Francis Llewellyn Poncherello in WB’s film version of CHiPs. Poncherello, or "Ponch" as … Continue reading

FANTASTIC 4 2 (-1)
