Wet Hot American Summer
director: David Wain actor: Janeane Garofalo / David Hyde Pierce
The setting is Camp Firewood, the year 1981. It's the last day before everyone goes back to the real world, but there's still a summer's worth of unfinished business to resolve. At the center of the action is camp director Beth, who struggles to keep order while she falls in love with the local astrophysics professor. He is busy trying to save the camp from a deadly piece of NASA's Skylab which is hurtling toward earth. All that, plus: a dangerous waterfall rescue, love triangles, misfits, cool kids, and talking vegetable cans. The questions will all be resolved, of course, at the big talent show at the end of the day.

Great début, full of verve & joy.

(Except for Mírame, Mírate, which is so out of keeping with the rest of the album that I suspect a record exec insisted on having a formulaic ballad.)

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (Miniseries) (2004) TMDB NeoDB Douban
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace Season 1 part of TV Series: Garth Marenghi's Darkplace
director: Richard Ayoade / Paul King actor: Matthew Holness / Matt Berry
In the 1980s horror writer Garth Marenghi wrote, produced, directed and starred in Darkplace, a groundbreaking series set in a hospital and exploring the depths of the author's imagination. At least that's what Marenghi and his publicist/co-star, Dean Learner, claim in modern-day interviews which both bookend and interrupt the episodes. In fact the show is cheap, chiché'd, full of gaping plot holes and startlingly misogynist. Garth Marenghi is a creation of comedian Matthew Holness, who won a Perrier award with the character at the 2001 Edinburgh festival. Written by Richard Smeltzer.
