You might know the Brooklyn-based Escape Pod Films (E.P.F.) from their previous series, Scissor Cop, which took a few pot shots at serious police dramas and landed E.P.F. on the web series map and Channel 101 NY. If you liked Scissor Cop, chances are you’ll like Sandwich of Terror. Sandwich delivers quality writing and acting that has the aftertaste of early, not quite ripe The Kids in the Hall. Already picked up by Channel 101 NY and aired as part of the February screening at 92YTribeca, Sandwich of Terror stands out as original and unique parody that will have web series creators across the country saying, “Why didn’t I think of that!?”
The two stories are so good that it’s almost a shame to see them wrapped in sub-standard intro and commercial parodies. It’s hard to compete with the Crypt Keeper or the freshly pressed suit of Rod Serling from The Twilight Zone, but the meat of this episode says the talent is there so I’m sure they’ll find the right garnish eventually. As for the ad parodies, they smell just like early late-night syndicated television, but with such a schmorgusborg of this exact type of parody on the web it serves only to separate and delineate the stories and not much more.
