Directed by Wet Hot American Summer's David Wain, A Futile and Stupid Gesture will follow the twenty-year run of National Lampoon. The magazine rose to fame in the late 1970s and lead to the creation of films like Caddyshack and Animal House, as well as some of the greatest comedians of that era. Will Forte and Domhnall Gleeson will play the publication's co-creators, while Martin Mull narrates as an older Doug Kenney. Also starring Jon Daly, Joel McHale, and John Gemberling, the biopic is set to begin streaming on Netflix January 26, 2018.

Star Wars Christmas Light Show

One year to program, six weeks to install, and one of the most epic Christmas light displays ever — that's Matt Johnson's Star Wars-themed light show. Set to Celldweller's remix of "The Imperial March," the display uses 15,000 lights and a home in San Antonio, Texas that can accommodate the traffic — Matt's 2015 display backed up traffic near his own home so bad it had to be shut down.
