When it came out in 2001, Wet Hot American Summer grossed $295,206 at the box office. Doing some very rough math, that means I was one of only about 24,000 people to have seen it's initial release in theaters. #NotEvenRemotelyHumbleBrag
Suffice it to say, WHAS has had a special place in my movie-going heart since. So when I heard that they were making a prequel series on Netflix, I had mixed feelings. I was excited to go back to Camp Firewood and revisit these characters but I was also scared that the result would be a diluted version of something I loved made just for nostalgia's sake (Hi, Arrested Development).
