The Show
ABOUT THE SHOW
At the end of the internet… they have the final word.
F is for Film is a cracked take on the movie review show format made popular by Siskel & Ebert: At the Movies, featuring low rent skits, puppets and an updated view of what it means to watch films in the 21st century when hype, backlash, and audience commentary are all part of an experience that often begins months before a film’s release and doesn’t end when you leave the theater.
The show is a production of the fictional characters who work at the “End of the Internet” where all those inane comments we casually post to blogs and discussion forums eventually end up. It is their job to sift through and process those comments in order to put the discussion to rest and prevent the internet from becoming so clogged with information as to become no longer useful. Perish the thought.
As you might imagine, this has driven them quite mad. Which may help explain why their lives so often mirror the movies they watch and they seem to get more deranged with each new show. The internet they inhabit is a place of many tentacle’d monsters, effeminate hand puppets, beauty and peril. Yet it is also the same timesuck that we all waste our lives drooling over.
More than just a parody of movies, the show is a satire of the viewing audience and our need to be right even if being right just means we shouted the loudest until everyone else got bored and left.
If that’s too highfalutin or hoity-toity for you, well then it also features a man being hit in the balls with a link of sausage to the crowd-pleasing thud of a cowbell.
THE HISTORY
F is for Film is a labor of love. It began as the emaciated, malnourished brainchild of Brian Stewart and Zack Wozniak in the summer of 2008 but has since grown robust under the tutelage of an ever-expanding crew of talented people whose talents were being otherwise wasted by the world at large. It could not have happened without everyone’s unselfish dedication and the sacrifice of time and money with no promise of immediate reward.
Series One, which included five episodes featuring parodies of; The Dark Knight, Speed Racer, Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The Happening and Wall-E began releasing in January of 2009.
Series Two, which included five episodes featuring parodies of; Doubt, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Slumdog Millionaire, Twilight and Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen began releasing in October of 2009 concurrent with the official website launch.
