'92 Skybox Alonzo Mourning Rookie Card is a 12-minute comedic short about a dysfunctional sibling relationship. It just premiered at Sundance.
I dug it, and lo, the short is a precursor to a feature film, Awful Nice, that expands on the brothers' relationship.

It's insane — most movies might build to a scene in which a pre-funeral competitive-chugging contest around the family dinner table ends in a glass-shattering, face-bloodying fistfight, but this starts there — reminding me at points of Step Brothers and Wet Hot American Summer, and in a different (and almost definitely worse) world it would be a huge studio comedy starring Danny McBride and Channing Tatum. Maybe it's the next Foot Fist Way. [source]
"Well, I hope to catch it at IFF Boston."

Jon: King of the Nerds should cast a magic enthusiast for season two.

In light of the buzz over DeAndre Jordan's dunk on Brandon Knight, the NBA should convert its sinking Sprite Slam Dunk Contest into a series of slam dunk showdowns promoted like a fight card. One dunker, one defender, first to five successful dunks wins.

Jon: (they tend to enjoy smoking…or cock)
Jon: "ISTJs are often highly religious" – dead-on
