David Wain is the comedy legend you didn’t know you loved. His latest movie, Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, is a classic R-rated comedy and secret Wizard of Oz retelling. He’s also behind past comedy hidden gems like Role Models, Netflix’s A Futile and Stupid Gesture and rom-com parody movie They Came Together.
But 20 years ago, him and his friends — most of whom were in the sketch group The State — made a classic summer camp comedy called Wet Hot American Summer. The result was camp in more ways than one, involving a vegetable can with the voice of Bob Belcher, a gorgeous peformance from Godspell directed by Bradley Cooper and Amy Poehler, and David Hyde Pierce saving the world. Now, Wet Hot American Summer is coming back to theaters, so viewers can experience this movie how it was meant to be seen.
