Everything you need to know about Please Don’t Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain

Please Don’t Destroy, which consists of Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy, was formed in New York City in 2017. The trio gradually rose to fame after creating several comedy shows and skits on YouTube, TikTok, and X.

In 2021, they were hired by Saturday Night Live where they made extremely rapid progress by producing their own digital prerecorded videos. They even recorded a song titled Three Sad Virgins with Pete Davidson and Taylor Swift.

In the new film, the comedic trio will venture into the woods in pursuit of a hidden treasure, only to encounter all sorts of obstacles along the way, from hairless bears to desperate park rangers to cult leaders.

In a recent interview with EW, Paul Briganti, the film's director expressed how glad he was to work with the comedy trio. He said:

"They have this group chemistry that feeds off each other. They're so happy when they're together. That is sort of the core and the warmth of the movie."

Conan O’Brien will play Ben Marshall's father in the upcoming film. In addition, Conan will also be the trio's on-screen boss.
