Must-Watch: Tim And Eric's Billion Dollar Interview
Lots of weird things happen around MTV Movies headquarters, like Idris Elba whipping our reporters into Olympic-level shape, or a murderous Elijah Wood claiming our offices for his own... but nothing, nothing, compares to what Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim of "Billion Dollar" fame put MTV's Josh Horowitz through at Sundance this past year. The comedy duo brought all the awkwardness and lunacy they're known for to what was supposed to be a cozy, informative 10-minute chat. Heck, even Will Forte was along for the ride. We should have known that this would not be a straightforward interview. But "not straightforward" doesn't even begin to cover it. The video below is a super-cut of all the awkwardness that ensued when Tim and Eric dropped on our couch. Please enjoy or as our good friend Tim Heidecker would say, "back to you." "Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie" is available on VOD and playing in select theaters.
