Directed by Macon Blair and starring Dave Franco, O' Shea Jackson Jr., Mason Thames, and Kiernan Shipka, the film follows the chaotic journey of two bumbling individuals tasked with transporting a dangerous teenager to rehab. During a motel stop, the trio invites a stripper named Irina into their room, only for Sheridan to bite her, revealing her true, monstrous nature. Director Blair and the cast recently sat down for an exclusive roundtable interview to discuss the various memorable moments of the film, including the explosive scene. Franco shared that the scene is among his top three \"shit yourself\" moments in cinematic history, describing it as violent and unpredictable, with the humor emerging from the bizarre characters present in the film. Thames added that the shift from Sheridan's initial behavior to her monstrous act was incredibly fast and that their reactions were genuine, with everyone in the room reacting with shock and laughter.",
