If it ain’t broke don’t fix it — but also if it ain’t broke and Netflix offers you millions of dollars to make another one, accept that money and do the best you can. I like to think that this was David Wain’s philosophy when he decided to make both a prequel series and then…
Welcome to August: You’re tired of the heat. A chance to walk romantically through falling leaves — maybe even while wearing a sweater, of all things — is beginning to sound appealing, and you’ve suffered too many sunburns to be coaxed back to the pool. Never fear! With great new television premieres, music and theater…
Today is a truly blessed day for Netflix has released its first trailer for ‘Wet Hot American Summer: 10 Years Later’ and, if it’s any indication of what we can expect from the series, we are in for episodes on par with the original cult classic. In the (second) follow-up to the 2000 comedy, the…
