Reboot is a raucous and wickedly smart satire of Hollywood, toxic fandom, and our chronically online culture. It follows David Crader, a washed-up actor on his quest to revive the cult TV drama that catapulted him to teenage fame.
Once a former child actor from the hit 90s teen drama Rev Beach, David now juggles his new roles as deadbeat dad, part-time alcoholic, and occasional videogame voice actor. Summoned to Los Angeles by Grace, his ex-wife and former co-star, David sees an opportunity for a rebootโnot just of the show that made him famous but also of his listless existence.
Hollywood, the Internet, and a fractured nation have other plans, though. David soon drinks himself to a realization: The seemingly innocuous revival of an old Buffy rip-off could be the spark that sets ablaze a nation gripped by far-right conspiracies, toxic fandoms, and mass violence.
Reboot is a madcap and eerily prescient speculative comedy for our era of glass-eyed doomscrolling and 90s nostalgia. It's a tale of former teen heartthrobs, online edge lords, and fish-faced cryptids, perfect for anyone who still agonizes over Angel versus Spike, lives in fear of the QAnon mom next door, or has run afoul of a rabid "stan" and lived to tell the tale.
No tales to tell here. A perfect spot for new legends! ๐.
