Ryan Jimmo to star in sequel to the worst movie ever made

I tried to think of a way to start this post in a sly way, but I can not. This piece of news is just too weird for me to be coy about it. According to this post from Brazen Apparel, which was confirmed via MST3K Info (since I could not believe the news when [...]
