Still can't get enough of "Wet Hot American Summer?" Well, take a look behind the scenes of the creation of the 2001 movie in "Hurricane Fun: The Making of Wet Hot."

The documentary comes from Amy Rice. Some might remember her film on Obama, "By the People: The Election of Barack Obama." She was the photographer on the set of "Wet Hot American Summer." She was able to collect about 25 hours of footage during that time and used it to cut together the movie.

The footage contains interviews from the cast, including Amy Poehler. Which is good, after she admitted to not remembering filming the movie.

The movie has come to be through the help of Amplify Releasing and producer Jack Turner. The chief creative officer, Dylan Marchetti described the movie as friendly nostalgia.

"If your friends buried a time capsule 15 years ago, and they filled it with stuff that would make you really happy in 2015 even though, at the time, they didn't know it would make you happy ...

this would pretty much be that."

"Wet Hot American Summer," has popped back up due to Netflix.

The streaming company decided to pull the movie out of the past and do a little prequel sequel in the form of a show, "Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp." The original film can also be found on the site.
