From Justin to Kelly – Dare Daniel Podcast Episode 95

“Oh man, I rock!”

Pennsylvania Posse alpha douches Daniel Barnes and Corky McDonnell follow up their review of Dancin’: It’s On! by reviewing Singin’: It’s On!. Also known as From Justin to Kelly, the film stars American Idol contestants Justin Guarini and Kelly Clarkson as reality show hostages grimly going through the motions of a bland and brainless Spring Break musical.

Elsewhere, Daniel and Corky discuss tie skirts, bandanna shirts, and other garments not used for their intended purposes.
