CrowdFunding Shoutout
by Dave Bullis
In 2003, I was fortunate enough to come across one of the funniest movies ever made. I was flipping through the channels and came to a movie on Comedy Central. That movie was Windy City Heat . If you haven't seen it, GO BUY IT NOW! Trust me you won't regret it.
The cult classic follow the comedy team, 'The Big 3', made up of Don Barris, Walter 'Mole' Molinski and the star of the film, Perry F Caravello, as they make a movie, 'Windy City Heat.' The concept is Perry play's Chicago sports PI, Stone Fury, as he tracks down a missing refrigerator belonging to William 'The Refrigerator' Perry. The twist? It's all an elaborate prank on Perry as the movie is completely fake and everyone on set is in on it... expect Perry of course.
Directed by Bobcat Goldthwait and co written by Jimmy Kimmel, the film has cameo's from other celebs including Adam Corolla, Carson Daly and Dane Cook.
The film follows the The Big 3 as cameras are set up in a variety of locations to capture all of the pranks and crazy situations Perry is put in. Over the years the film has developed a cult following and various celebrities from Johnny Knoxville to Eminem have raved about the film.

Here's a clip from the movie.
The Big 3 have recently launched a project on the crowdfunding platform, FundAnything, to make a new reality show. Check out it and donate as little as $1 to help this great project. Trust me you won't regret it and if you're still hesitant on donating, check out their weekly free podcast. It's my favorite podcast out there and comes highly recommended.
Today (11/22/13) their fan base are pushing to get #5ForWCH2 trending on Twitter.
In closing, to paraphrase Perry from a scene in the movie, " Of all the gin joints in all the world, frankly my dear I don't give a damn."
