Pen Pals Pointless Posting #7: Eye Weekly Review

It seems that despite our best efforts to screw everything up, PEN PALS is a hit. Here's what are good friends at EYE WEEKLY had to say about us (right after our cheque cleared):


Pen Pals
Review by Sean Kelly Keenan
***** (Out of 5)



From Thundercats to MacGyver, no crappy ’80s television show is safe in this buddies-coming-of-age tale about Martin and Clark, a pair of unsuccessful screenwriters who are coming desperately close to the edge of that middle-aged abyss of outright failure and doom. Hilariously long-winded, pop culture– and theory-packed dialogue worthy of Joss Whedon is spoken; circus porn is watched; Jewel poetry is read: all in the name of giving you a freakin’ funny good time. It’s a crude, lewd, righteously entertaining show that will leave you howling for more. (Bonus: Surprise twist ending!) Go see it. Now!


Thanks to everyone who has come out to the show so far. It was very kind of you to get drunk before the show. Also, thanks in advance for all those who will join us soon.

Now, if you'll excuse us, we are going to use our new found fortune to buy solid gold rocket cars and diamond studded sweater vests.

  1. Saw the show today, and with no better vehicle to compliment than the internet, I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed it! Star Wars jokes and obscure references truly are the universal comedic language. You know what? I would see "Musical: The Musical". You should totally write it. Great Job!

  2. Glad you enjoyed it! Did you get the CHUDS reference?
