“Well guys, we've made it to the end of the summer in one piece, except for a few campers who are lepers.” We’re taking a trip to Camp Firewood, and watched David Wain’s Wet Hot American Summer for our July 4th episode. Opening in dozens of theaters in the summer of 2001, Wet Hot American Summer gathered a loyal fan base from home video rentals  and DVD sales.  Set on the last day of camp, in the summer of 1981, a group of horny counselors try to complete their unfinished business of romances before the day ends. The movie is a litmus test of whether you can hang with us, and we’re huge fans of everyone involved. This is the gang who brought us The State on MTV after all. We have the return of one of the first ladies of MTMUG, Janeane Garofalo, as our favorite head counselor, Beth, and an early movie appearances of the likes of Amy Poehler, Bradley Cooper, and Elizabeth Banks. Wet Hot American Summer is a constantly quotable, raunchy comedy. Did we mention the hottest guys that fill this cast? Ken Marino serving body-odd-oddy in those little cut-off shorts, Chris Meloni as the camp chef, and the Michael Ian Black and Bradley Cooper man-on-man love scene.
