We’ve been greatly anticipating “Superbad.” It was in our summer preview post and we were psyched about the trailer as far back as May. We’ve mentioned it a lot of times, but “Superbad” is written by “Freaks & Geeks” Aptow family players members Seth Rogen (of “Knocked-Up”), Evan Goldberg and directed by “Daytrippers” director Greg Mottola (who directed many episodes of “Undeclared“)
