Directed by David Wain, this irreverent biographical drama chronicles the rise and fall of comedy legend Doug Kenney, co-founder of National Lampoon and a key architect of 1970s counterculture humor. Will Forte delivers a nuanced performance as Kenney, a brilliant but deeply troubled writer whose creative genius helped launch Saturday Night Live and define a generation's comedic voice. The film traces his journey from Harvard Lampoon to the dizzying heights of Hollywood success, where he co-wrote iconic films like National Lampoon's Animal House and Caddyshack. Alongside his creative partner Henry Beard (Domhnall Gleeson), Kenney navigates the chaotic, drug-fueled world of the National Lampoon magazine, clashing with egos and battling personal demons. Joel McHale plays Chevy Chase, while Martin Mull and Emmy Rossum round out a stellar ensemble cast. Blending sharp wit with poignant tragedy, this dramedy explores the high cost of genius and the fleeting nature of fame, painting a vivid portrait of a man who changed comedy forever before his mysterious disappearance at age 33.
