Time Travel Is A Joint Venture. Starring one of the world’s most popular comedians Russell Peters, RIPPED is a hilarious comedy that tells the story of two free-spirited stoners who in 1986 get their hands on some CIA-created secret pot that knocks them out for 30 years. Coming to in 2016, they try to fathom the societal changes that have occurred since the Reagan years. The Ripped Van Winkles might have lost three decades but not their uncomplicated enthusiasm for getting their lives back on track and figuring out the crazy modern world.
