The Wad: The True Story Behind The Phantom Lake County Chewing Gum Disaster

About This Movie

Alright, so 'The Wad' is this quirky faux-documentary that really leans into its own absurdity. Set against the backdrop of the Mihmiverse, it revisits this ludicrous event involving chewing gum – yes, chewing gum. The pacing is kind of all over the place, but that just adds to its charm. Daniel Johnson's delivery as the anchor feels both earnest and ridiculous, making the interviews with survivors a real treat. Some of the practical effects are hilariously low-budget, but they somehow fit perfectly in this offbeat world. It’s got this playful tone, mixing comedy with a sprinkle of science fiction that keeps you guessing. Definitely a unique piece in Mihm’s collection.
