Despite the stellar cast and boffo premise — Paul Rudd and Bill Hader as pregnant coin collectors who are Las Vegas bound for a debaucherous babymoon — Expectant Dads isn't a real movie. And the preview that immediately follows for rockumentary about The New Pornographers also boasts a stellar cast and a boffo premise, even if it too doesn't really exist. Director Tom Scharpling — best known for his weekly radio comedy show The Best Show On WFMU and who previously delivered a satiric vid for Ted Leo — gathers an amazing cast of comedians and indie rockers to fictionalize the typical "behind the music" rise and fall of a rock band. (PS: Cocaine as a pizza topping is perhaps my new favorite vision of rock star excess) --> watch "Moves"
