Finally, 16 years later, it’s 10 years later. Wet Hot American Summer returns to Netflix next week with something long promised: a 10-year-reunion. At the end of 2001’s smart-stupid indie movie about summer camp counselors in 1981, we received a fleeting glimpse of the decade-later gathering. Two years ago, Wet Hot did get around to reassembling the gang… for a prequel series that depicted the first day of camp instead. So now the time is right for that proper reunion, with an eight-episode time warp to 1991 in Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later.

After a brief stay at Rikers Island, Harvey Weinstein is now headed to what his lawyers hope will be his final incarceration spot: Fishkill Correctional Facility in Beacon, N.Y., about 60 miles north of Manhattan. For a movie mogul who's used to knocking around palatial mansions — like his 9,000-square-foot waterfront Connecticut "country house," his seven-bedroom estate in the Hamptons with a state-of-the-art 3D screen, or his $14.5 million townhouse in the West Village — Fishkill is the antithesis of high society.
