The Jerks in the Back Row
Where We've Been - Brett
As I'm sure you're aware, The Jerks in the Back Row haven't been up to much involving the website recently. Real life has gotten in the way as well as other side projects.
Which is what brings us to this exciting announcement. The Jerks in the Back Row are putting their money where their mouth has been for the last two years and are MAKING THEIR OWN MOVIE!
Yes, it's true. With Brett and J working on the story, Brett writing the screenplay, and all of our current Jerks (Brett, J, Randy, and Sean) playing roles in the film, The Jerks in the Back Row are excited to announce that in the next 4-6 weeks, shooting will begin on a comic book movie called “Deadpool VS. Punisher”. Brett has always worshiped the Punisher since his childhood and always liked Deadpool, whereas J has always worshiped Deadpool and liked the Punisher since his little Jerk days.
And that's why Brett and J will be starring in Deadpool VS. Punisher, with J playing the role of the “merc with a mouth” – Deadpool and Brett playing the role of the one man judge, jury,and executioner – The Punisher.
We haven't released much about the film, but what we have can be found by searching Facebook for “Deadpool vs. Punisher (film)” and “liking” it (
*these allegations are preposterous, I also play video games and spend hours on tvtropes - J
**at least commentaries with Brett. J has discussed doing a few with Sean and a possible guest-Jerk, while Sean cryptically mentioned getting Randy to the Jerks Studio by force would be "no problem" because he "already has all the supplies". Sean declined to elaborate when J asked, stating yet again he had video tapes to return. It is the current opinion of JitBR that Sean has a crippling rental addiction.

****no we can't.
). We're posting prop pictures,
behind the scenes pictures, and production updates when we can. Randy works six days a week, Brett works a 10 hour shift in a warehouse from 3:45pm to 2:30am four days a week, J is usually asleep or making sandwiches the majority of any given day*, and Sean... well Sean seems to disappear for long periods of time only returning to hang out and give the reoccurring excuse for his absence as “I had to return some videotapes.”
We hope our Jerk fans will support our dive into the art we love to love and love to hate and hopefully, enjoy the fruits of literally years of procrastination, brainstorming, listening to DVD commentaries, reading screenwriting books, and being accepted to film school in Michigan, only to run away from the opportunity due to lack of money and a phobia of debt.
Needless to say, Jerk commentaries are on hold (but they have been for quite a while, haven't they?) until the film is completed**. Once it is, look for the actual film, a director commentary, and even a Jerk commentary to go with it. Stick with us folk, because when we land in Hollywood***, will need people to do all of the daily crap we don't want to do (and Sean will surely need someone to return videotapes for him).
So look for updates soon, my Jerking friends, as we embark on a journey which most certainly will be fantastic (or horrible... but it'll be better than Cannibal Campout, we can god-damn-guarantee that****). Our time has come, Jerks! We will take Hollywood (or YouTube) by force!
