Wet Hot American Summer: From Cult Movie to Netflix Series
I’m a huge fan of the 2001 cult comedy Wet Hot American Summer and have watched it many, many times, which is why I felt like I was having a bit of an out of body experience standing on the set of Netflix’s Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp earlier this year. Standing in the middle of Camp Firewood were several of the familiar faces from the movie, dressed in very similar clothes and sporting the same hair (or at least wigs to replicate that hair) they had in the film – including Beth (Janeane Garofalo), Gail (Molly Shannon), Coop (Michael Showalter), Victor (Ken Marino), Neil (Joe Lo Truglio), Abby (Marisa Ryan) and Ron (Judah Friedlander).
