Some comedies don’t quite make it big until years later when they’re hailed as a cult classic. That’s the case with Wet Hot American Summer. The satirical summer camp movie was released in 2001 and had quite an interesting line-up, featuring Paul Rudd and Bradley Cooper, as well as Amy Poehler.

It was a box office bomb, but still inspired two Netflix TV series years later. 2015’s Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp and 2017’s Wet Hot American Summer: 10 Years Later were both moneymakers for the streaming service. What’s more, the majority of the original cast signed on to reprise their roles.
