While I did a lot of fun interviews at Comic-Con, what you're about to watch might be my favorite.  That's because during my ten minute video interview with Nick Frost and Simon Pegg, not only did we discuss their great new movie The World's End (read Matt's review here), we geeked out over what they collect, future projects, how we first met nine years ago at Comic-Con (Pegg tells a great story about waiting in line for Carrie Fisher's autograph), and a lot more.  Also, since Frost and Pegg have been best friends for so many years and are extremely funny, they have the ability to make every interview feel organic and in the moment, and their answers are always great.

Also, Pegg and Frost revealed they just spoke to Peter Jackson and they might be doing the Tintin sequel next year.  Pegg also says he's going to be back in Mission Impossible 5 (filming next year), he hopes they'll be able to make the next Star Trek sequel in time for the 50th Anniversary, and talks about his problems with Zack Snyder's Man of Steel.  Hit the jump to watch.
