So, Netflix made this into a series, with much of the original cast from the film. The film that I wasn't aware of until after I finished watching the series. The series was moderately amusing, but might have been better had I not been oblivious to what it was sending up. I mean, I could see it was sending something up, I'm not a complete fucking idiot*, I just thought it was that kind of movie in general, rather than something very specific. Bearing in mind how many of the cast have gone on to do other things that I have watched, I have no idea how this is possible.
Anyway, it is not awful. Especially if you watched the film all those years ago.
*Fuck you, no I'm not.
I'm liking it ok as a parody of prequels that have to explain everything, but the movie is an all time classic.
Also, lord knows I've put on some elbees since 2001, but Michael Showalter looks like he just ate 2 other Michael Showalters and a rack of ribs.

I kind of wondered if he gained that much weight on purpose, because it's such a hilarious contrast from what he looked like in the original movie.

I spent most of the first couple of episodes trying to figure out if it was a really well made fat suit.
