Wet Hot American Summer (Netflix original)

Anyone started watching this yet? Pretty funny and very different to see the whole cast come back and play younger roles in this prequel to the movie.

So it's up right now?
I meant to look for it last night, but ended up watching the documentary they made on the original- basically just a compilation of hilarious moments and interactions between shooting.
I never knew the production was plagued with bad weather, apparently 23 out of the 28 days of shooting they had to deal with rain and the temperature was in the thirties.
I thought they did a pretty good job of concealing that, considering the whole movie takes place over the course of a sunny, summer day.

"I'm uh a virgin."
"Nah man you're the stallion. You've slept with like 50 women."
"Actually more like - ZERO."
"You are a loser! A loser!"
Love that scene haha

Jon Benjamin dialogue and grabbing JG'sv tits bad me rolling, I can't wait to make a drink or sit down and watch this tonight.

Rewatched the movie earlier this week and just finished all eight episodes.
To me, it was perfection. I can't wait to rewatch and pick up on more things.
I will say that if you didn't love the movie, this won't be your jam. But fans of the movie should be pleased and I highly recommend rewatching the movie first if you haven't seen it in a while.
Spoilers below
Victor's prank call to Gene about dick farts
The way Gene was running after Victor with that psycho skipping made my life.
Abby's transformation was hilarious
Michael Cera's too big suit and when he would talk back to the big shot attorney was awesome. "You could buy a whole lotta shaving cream with that. Shave off that little mustache."
H. Jon Benjamin is everything.
There's so much more. This is like Arrested Development for me. I'll rewatch over and over until I have it all practically memorized.

Do I need to watch the movie before binging the show?
Posted on 8/1/15 at 4:58 pm to geauxnavybeatbama
Watched it yesterday and thought it was horrible. It's like they're trying too hard to be funny. Even watched two episodes to see if it got any better and it never did

Just binge watched the season. I'm mixed on this one. There are some genuine lol moments but some of the gags get a little tiring. The first episode was great, Paul Rudd was great, and Bradley Cooper had me rolling. Michael Cera was also hilarious.
I think binging it is the wrong way to watch. That style of comedy isn't meant to be watched in four hour blocks.

I heard a "I wanna dip my balls in it" in episode 7.

What's the movie called?
Posted on 8/3/15 at 1:34 pm to geauxnavybeatbama
Pretty sad that I'm done with it. I enjoyed the hell out of it.

Watched the movie yesterday and thought it was good in a goofy humor sort of way.
I plan on watching the show next weekend.

Occasionally this board produces a gem. I just watched the movie for the first time and started on the series, awesome stuff. I used to love The State, not sure how I never saw this before.

I quit watching after three episodes. I like that it's silly, I just didn't find it all that funny. When I saw it was only a short season, I binged watched it, and ended up really liking it. It definitely got better with every episode. I went back and watched the movie right after (which i did not like), but it made me appreciate the series even more. Are we getting more seasons, or is it a one time thing?

Really like how they expanded on some of the characters and in doing so added a level of depth to the movie.
Examples:
-In the movie, Showalter's character seems like a good guy who should get the girl, but just doesn't because Marguerite Moreau's character is a bitch.
-With the background elaborated on in the series we see that Showalter is kind of a neurotic loser who falls for girls who are just nice to him.
-In the movie Paul Rudd and Moreau's characters' relationship seems like a terrible, shallow tryst.
-In the show, we see that there is more there than just a shallow physical attraction and they have a nice little half-day courtship culminating in that great scene during Electro-City.
-Obviiously we get to see how the Michael Ian-Black/Bradley Cooper relationship developed, I thought their "creative" discussion was hysterical.
-I also really like the parallel between the young kids' little crush triangle and the Showalter/Rudd/Moreau triangle from the first movie.
-The scene where Abby becomes a woman is hilarious, and even more so if you watched the movie. Also idk why exactly, but I thought the nurse was/still is sexy.
So I thought the show did a good job expanding/elaborating in these areas nicely.
Then there were the things that were totally just concocted for the show. These things kind of just made me go WTF? But I think they worked alright, the writers wanted to give everyone a compelling storyline and in some of these cases they definitely had to do some reaching.
-Elizabeth Banks' character being an undercover journalist.
-Chris Meloni/Molly Shannon's relationship was just kind of weird, although I loved that the guy who played Asian Jim showed up. Meloni might have the funniest parts of the whole series between his skip-chasing Ken Marino and growing a beard in like half a second.
-The whole thing with the toxic sludge seemed forced, but I can overlook all of it just because we got one episode with Jon H Benjamin.
Other thoughts:
-I've never been a fan of Jason Schwartzman so I could have done without him altogether.
-Thought they could have done more with Kevin Sussman's character. Same for AD Miles and Zack Orth, although neither of those guys were major players in the movie either.
-Ken Marino and Jo Lo Truglio are hilarious, as always.
-David Hyde Pierce looks like he hasn't aged a day since the movie came out.
-Amy Pohler and the guy from Mad Men- that whole storyline was out of place.
-Wain's character, Yaron, was hilarious, but also really frustrating.
