# Episode Nine: Next

In this episode, Colbert Report staff writer [Frank Lesser](http://www.franklesser.com/) joins us, to see what happens next, in [Next](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0435705/) (hint: it has something to do with Nicholas Cage’s hair). Meanwhile, Stuart reveals his vulnerability to bullets, Dan describes his super-power, and Frank pitches a romantic comedy built on Next’s charred remains.
