There has been SO MUCH Meloni in the media these last few days, but also some Lee news and even leeloni stuff, so I'm gonna break it down into separate posts.

Chris did a round of interviews in New York earlier this week to promote his new indie film "Diary of a Teenage Girl," in which he has a small but important role. The movie opened in LA and NYC last Friday, and is scheduled to gradually expand into more theaters across the country. He is also promoting the WHAS prequel AND has just finished filming the new series "Underground," which is scheduled to air on WGN America in early 2016.

So, here are the highlights from his media blitz...

Last night I binged-watched all 8 episodes of the Netflix series follow-up to Meloni's 2001 movie, 'Wet Hot American Summer'. Much like the original movie, this 'prequel' series kind of goes back and forth between genuinely giggle-inducing jokes and rolling your eyes at how dumb it is - leaning more towards the roll-your-eyes side. Meloni, as usual, gave a great performance; you could tell just how much fun he was having with it, and loving the ridiculous wig he wore throughout most of it.
( Slight spoilers )

Anyhoo, if you're a fan of the original movie, then you'll probably like this series. If, like me, you found the movie more stupid than funny, you'll likely find the series even stupider. If you only want to watch it for Meloni, then I recommend waiting for the inevitable YouTube compilations of Meloni's scenes, rather putting yourself through watching the whole thing.

Also, if you're a giant perve like me and was hoping for another Bradley Cooper gay sex scene? Trѐs disappointment. One kiss in 8 episodes - let down! ;-P

Several still images from "Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp" were released today, including the above photo of Meloni as Gene, the camp cook. The eight-episode prequel to the 2001 movie debuts on Netflix on July 31 (two weeks later than originally scheduled). You can see the rest of the pics at Buzzfeed, which gives a now-and-then comparison of the characters.

Netflix announced that Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp will be released on July 17th. Mark your calendars, fondle your sweaters, get rid of your crabs, and cut down those campers from the ropes course.
So much to do, so little time.
