  • Call Me Smurf

    Bonus Episode Alert! Joe and Ian aren't quite done with Season 3 for a very good reason - Smurfs is out! Kurt voices one of the characters in the new Smurfs movie so naturally we tailgated at the theater for 2.5 hours before sitting down for a 90 minute romp through the Smurf universe.
