Defending WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER

I've been receiving challenges from a number of people and we're in the process of working out schedules. With a little luck I'll post the first new episode next week. But, for now, I'd like to post an email conversation I had with Dylan Todd. If anyone wants to debate me on WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER then throw down the gauntlet or slap me across the face with the glove or slap me across the face with the gauntlet a la ROBIN HOOD MEN IN TIGHTS, another fantastic movie. Dylan: Wet Hot American Summer. Dylan: This is a terrible movie that apparently everybody on Tumblr thinks is the funniest ish ever. Please tell me you hate it/plan on savaging it. Jason: You are wrong. It happens. Dylan: Oh man. Dylan: That movie is The Doors of comedies. Jason: My wife wants to join in on a potential WHAS battle. The whole world does. Dylan: It is the Radiohead of comedies. It's okay, but sooooo overrated. Jason: But overrated still means it's watchable. See, I literally think DRIVE is completely unwatchable. I think people who "like it" just don't want to seem dumb. Big diff. Dylan: You have a point. It's not horrible. I just think everybody in that film has done better stuff elsewhere. Dylan: Therefore Dylan: I AM WRONG. Jason: But there's also the backstory to weigh and the careers it helped launch. And it was big for the alt-comedy movement. Jason: If we did this over Skype it would be an episode. Maybe I'll post it as a conversation.
