Friends Like These doesn't need much introduction. Sure, I could say that overcoming the common "roommates driving each other crazy" setup requires smooth production and slick writing, but aside from that, it's probably best to just let the new web series talk for itself. Friends Like These is helmed by a creator who goes by the name "J. Brooks". J emailed Tubefilter with the subject line "an indie show that might make you chuckle while you poop," and that just about sums up Friends Like These. The series follows four roommates--a porn director, his star actor, a med student, and a baker--through one zany scenario after another. The jokes are punchy as unrestrained.

Anyway, the aforementioned unsettling weirdness I am referring to is the release of a new flick called Cold Creepy Feeling: Paranormal Exorcism to DVD.

Written and directed by Keith Kurlander, the flick stars Jared Vandenberg, Dennis Woodruff, Lisa Younger, and Alex Damiano. Look for it in stores on January 24th.
