Since The Jerky Boys: The Movie is the first entry in Rando!, a column devoted to morbidly fascinating randomness, it seems appropriate that I came to see it in a completely rando way. A few months back a Twitter friend emailed me to ask if I wanted to be on his podcast about Disney movies. I immediately scooped up The Jerky Boy: The Movie (a Touchstone production) so that I'd finally have an excuse to force myself to watch it.

The episode was supposed to run April 1st, so perhaps it’s appropriate that the assignment to watch The Jerky Boys: The Movie ended up being an accidental April Fool’s Day prank. When I direct-messaged the gentleman whose podcast I’d seen The Jerky Boys: The Movie for he immediately messaged back to say that his cohost couldn’t see the movie, so they couldn’t cover it on the show, yet neglected to share this information with me before I subjected myself to The Jerky Boys: The Movie.

Very Rando!

As someone who has made terrible, tacky things the cornerstone of his career, you’d imagine that I would have gotten onboard the Jerky Boys train early. Yet for some reasons the Jerky Boys never particularly appealed to me.
