5d ago1:42:03

1:42:03

This one was requested by our listener Bryce, and it's something that we have successfully avoided seeing until now. Alien trash babies come to life to help a loser kid named Dodger woo his rival Juice's girlfriend, who goes by the name Tangerine. It's as stupid as it sounds and disgusting to look at as well.
