ERIC SAYS Two of the brains behind Wham City Comedy have made their first theatrical feature. What did you think it was going to be, normal? The much-anticipated film from the team of Robby Rackleff and Alan Resnick (Unedited Footage of a Bear and This House Has People in It) has an absolutely stacked cast including luminaries of the alt-comedy scene and many past, present, and most likely future Baltimoreans: Robby Rackleff, Megan Koester, Sheila Mears, Jamel Johnson, Annie Donley, Stavros Halkias, Sarah Sherman, Allen Cordell, Adam Endres, Rachel Kaly, Conner O’Malley, and Nate Varrone.
Like their work for Adult Swim, Rackleff and Resnick’s film disorients the viewer in the best possible way. Dance Freak teleports us back to childhood sleepovers with friends, staying up way too late watching something warped, forbidden, and dangerously funny long after all the boring adults have retreated upstairs to bed.
