With director Michael Dowse’s extremely funny action-comedy Stuber now playing in theaters, I recently sat down with Betty Gilpin & Natalie Morales for an exclusive interview. In the film, Kumail Nanjiani plays a part-time Uber driver who picks up a passenger (Dave Bautista) shortly after he’s had LASIK surgery and is forced to accompany him on a crazy adventure through Los Angeles as he hunts down a brutal killer. Trust me, Kumail Nanjiani and Dave Bautista are fantastic together and you’ll laugh from the beginning of the film till to end. Stuber also stars Iko Uwais, Jimmy Tatro, Mira Sorvino and Karen Gillan.
