Make That Movie review – Sam Campbell has made the funniest TV show of the entire year
The Last One Laughing and Taskmaster star’s supremely daft mockumentary is so hilarious it deserves to be paraded around the streets. Hopefully it can run and run
This is a punt, but I’d be prepared to bet money that Sam Campbell knows Birdemic: Shock and Terror inside out. Birdemic is, of course, one of the worst movies ever made; a comprehensively inept labour of love about a bird attack, made for pennies over the course of four years. It’s one of those films that is so fascinatingly bad from every angle that it ends up becoming a glorious piece of outsider art. It is the sort of film that Campbell’s new sitcom Make That Movie absolutely worships.
You probably know Campbell from Taskmaster and Last One Laughing, two different entertainment formats that he managed to destroy and rebuild in his image, by respectively performing a genuinely unhinged song about female comedians and dressing up as a giant bird. There is something of the alien about the man. About as far from an everyman as you are likely to find, Campbell’s stock in trade is essentially looking a bit like Paul McCartney would if you froze him in time a millisecond after bopping him on the nose.
Make That Movie is on Channel 4 in the UK, and HBO Max in Australia
