A look at the life of Douglas Kenney starting with the co-founding of National Lampoon magazine and the National Lampoon Radio Hour.
In the 1970s, a bunch of up-and-coming actors and writers develop a new kind of comedic satire and lend their skills to all of Douglas Kenney’s projects. They go on to create Animal House and Caddyshack, two of the biggest comedy movies of all time that continue to be pervasive in pop-culture.
Warning: this movie includes A LOT of cocaine use… hey, it was the 70s.
