Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp
They're younger. They're hotter. They're wetter.
Created by Michael Showalter, David Wain
On Netflix
A frenetic, absurdist comedy prequel that mines 1980s summer camp nostalgia through deliberately ridiculous scenarios and musical numbers, prioritizing anarchic fun over coherence.
It's the first day of camp in this outrageous prequel to the hilarious 2001 cult classic movie. And at Camp Firewood, anything can happen.
