146 - Wet Hot American Podcast

May 27, 2014

Writer-Director David Wain joins John and Craig to talk about the long journey to bring They Came Together to the screen (on June 27th), the changing nature of spoofs, and the seminal summer camp film Wet Hot American Summer.

 

We also touch on the origins of the three act structure, getting started right out of film school, and the odd financing of Legends of Oz.
