On Thursday I was fortunate enough to attend the 20th anniversary screening of the film version of Strangers With Candy (which is finally getting a new physical media release soon, they told us!) at the IFC Center here in New York, and above are a few photos and one video from the Q&A that followed with Amy Sedaris, Stephen Colbert, and Paul Dinello -- a Q&A that was moderated by Cole Escola no less! Cole of course co-starred with Amy on the brilliant three seasons of the far-too-hard-to-now-find series At Home with Amy Sedaris. Anyway in the video I shared Sedaris brings up a sequel idea that would see our queen Jerri Blank now attending college, and it looks like I have a new impossible thing to pin all of my hopes and dreams upon y'all! Cole could bring their At Home character of Chassie along for the ride -- have her be a mean sorority sister who torments Jerri. I MUST HAVE IT.

I wore out my original SWC "Flatpoint High: Home of the Concrete Donkeys" tee – the yellow one with the big red '0' on the back. By some miracle, about *15 years* after the show ended, a person on ebay had an unworn one. Thank you ebay and baby Jesus!
It's tucked away somewhere. I'll have to find it and wear it, so that I can let everyone know what a zero I am.
I'm a HUGE SWC fan, but the movie is not great. I laughed a couple of times, but I was kinda shocked by the lack of laughs in the theatre. I mean...it was damn near silent for an hour and a half.
(I 100% agree - it's as if they used up all the good jokes on the show and in an effort to not repeat themselves fell on their faces. But it has a couple of great moments.)
