In the run up to the release of Swiss Army Man -- an extremely unique movie starring Daniel Radcliffe as a gassy, talking corpse -- the actor attempted to describe the film to a confused Stephen Colbert.

Radcliffe gave a very comprehensive explanation of his new, "super fun" and one-of-a-kind movie, which co-stars Paul Dano.

He enlightened Colbert on the plot, sharing that, even though his character is technically dead, he farts, talks and gets erections that act as a literal compass....you know, normal corpse things.

If that's not something you think you'd be into, this video will probably convince you otherwise.
