Wet Hots latest iteration proves that Camp Firewood has only gotten crazier and more confident in its old age.
Andy, you are 26 years old.
What is wrong with you!
When are you going to grow up?
We cant be teenagers forever.
That above quote is said to Paul Rudds Andy Fleckner as a simple gag.
However, this is at least something that the series is well aware of and embraces wholeheartedly.
Its bonkers thatTen Years Latereven happened at all.
One prequel season was a surprising gift in itself.
This is the extra marshmallow in the smore.
Sure, its less polished, but its all dessert anyway.
The season certainly could have used a few more episodes this time though.
Doing so would even help some of the material flow a little better, too.
Characters are grouped together into their own divided stories, but the entire cast isnt intermingling as a whole.
The season as a whole feels more isolated than the previous one.
Its a real delicate balancing act that never shows its hand.
Thats sort of the point here.
Theres no shortage of things to rave about.
Theres also supernatural weirdness afoot too becauseof coursethere is.
Elements like hidden nuclear fallout shelters entering the mix are so crazy, yet oddly fitting.
This universe slowly stretching its boundaries has allowed for insane developments to seem plausible.
Heres a story thats meant to keep people happy and their spirit alive.
And is that really so bad, especially when were all getting older and life is sinking in?
Even if these installments get worse or progressively less interesting (where are things headed next?
To the 1920s with thefirstCamp Firewood?
To the Firewood Grille?
