""I was pumped that number one, a script like this exists, that it's real. There are original comedies coming," Gaten Matarazzo tells Inverse. "The first thing that came to my mind when reading the script was that one [tripping at school] sequence in 21 Jump Street, but for an hour and a half, which is my favorite part of 21 Jump Street.""
"The result is almost an episodic romp through the tenuous friendships you make in college told in the language of familiar sci-fi and fantasy tropes, including exploding heads, time loops, body swapping, Voltron-style body merging, truth serums, fourth-wall breaks, and more that we daren't spoil here."
Pizza Movie, directed by Nick Kocher and Brian McElhaney, follows best friends Jack and Montgomery as they take pills and navigate a series of surreal challenges. The film uses sci-fi tropes to explore college friendships and personal growth. With humor and creativity, it presents a unique narrative that reflects the chaotic nature of college life. Gaten Matarazzo praises the originality of the script, likening it to a longer version of a memorable sequence from 21 Jump Street. The film stands out as a well-crafted sci-fi comedy.
