This thread should be stickied.

I heard Harold Ramis was quoted about Kenney’s “suicide” as him slipping off the cliff while looking for a place to jump. Guess the guy was highly depressed.
With the arrival of A Futile and Stupid Gesture on Netflix on Friday, audiences will get a deep dive into the life of National Lampoon co-creator and Caddyshack and Animal House screenwriter Doug Kenney.
For the film’s producer Peter Principato, Kenney was not a name with which he was familiar prior to his involvement in the project. After receiving the book of the same name — on which the film is based — nearly a decade ago, Principato tells The Hollywood Reporter, "I was completely inspired and in awe and embarrassed that I didn’t know who Doug Kenney was, and felt an overwhelming sense and desire at that moment to saying not only do I want to make this movie, I have to make this movie."
The film is a comedic look at Kenney’s triumphs and trials, starting with the creation of humor magazine National Lampoon with friend and co-creator Henry Beard, which then led him to write Animal House (1978) and Caddyshack (1980), the former of which was the most profitable comedy of all time until Ghostbusters surpassed it in 1984. A Futile and Stupid Gesture stars Will Forte as Kenney, Domhnall Gleeson as Beard, Emmy Rossum, Matt Walsh, Seth Green, Natasha Lyonne, Thomas Lennon, ?Martin Mull and Joel McHale, to name a few.
Kenney’s work was at the epicenter of 1970’s comedy counterculture, tackling politics with humor and making such a thing mainstream by paving the way for projects such as Saturday Night Live. Jonathan Stern, who produced the film and also teamed with Principato on Netflix’s 2015 and 2017 revivals of Wet Hot American Summer, says in the wake of the Vietnam War and Nixon’s presidency, "there was a lot to resist and fight about."
