Things to Watch on Netflix Instant: Bad Milo

Maybe I’m just way too immature for my own good, but if you’re asking me, it’s kinda hard not to love any movie that takes you on a tour into a man’s mouth, through his digestive tract and out of his butt hole, within the first 60 seconds of run-time. Yep. That’s Bad Milo for
