Role Models

Comedy

Directed by David Wain

Two salesmen trash a company truck on an energy drink-fueled bender. Upon their arrest, the court gives them a choice: do hard time or spend 150 service hours with a mentorship program. After one day with the kids, however, jail doesn't look half bad. From TMDB

    Since Ragatha understood what Pomni meant by "LARPing" and she's a normie, AND since she entered the Digital Circus in 2008 (I think) I deduce that the has seen the film, Role Models.

    Start with Shock Value (1981), that covers his early 60's film, and the 70's, basically the class stuff and if you like that, try Crackpot (1986), Role Models (2010), Car Sick (2014) & Liarmouth (2022).

    Oh I see! Increasingly I think in the UK there are a lot of people who have *tried* larp - not loads but I would bet most somewhat geeky friendship groups know someone who does Empire, for instance. People cite that film Role Models a lot? I think that made an impact on public perception.
