Doug kenney's story, the co-founder of lampoon magazine. It's in flashback, with martin mull as the older doug. Clearly, there were rebellion issues along the way.... but aren't all artists eccentric? He says himself it was all just to meet girls. And he fully admits to being messed up, although he used rougher language. He and his co-founder ran the harvard lampoon, which of course, later produced animal house. We start at harvard, with will forte as student doug. And instead of continuing in his schooling, doug decides to put out an irreverant comedy satire magazine. Not everyone appreciated mocking the establishment! Kenney also co-wrote caddyshack, which is so genius! References to the actors of the first season of SNL... chevy chase, gilda, john, bill, who had also worked at lampoon. It had a great run, then fell on financial hard times when they couldn't pay what they owed. The rise and fall of so many small businesses. Then came the drug use. It's pretty good, currently on netflix. Directed by david wain, who also has a small role in the film. He had just won awards for childrens hospital.
