One of the best cult classic comedies of all time. Followed up by a wildly successful podcast. Truly an under-rated piece of comedy history.

Pretty damn funny. There is a lot of people who question it's authenticity, but real or not, it's pretty funny. Bobcat turned out to be a pretty inventive writer/director, or whatever it is he does.
