Trevor Newandyke is a struggling comedian and a pyromaniac. Not only does his act bomb on stage, but he bombs at everyday life, too. Fed up with threats from the cable company, Slurpee price hikes and all the jerks who think they can push him around, all Trevor wants is a break. But instead of getting himself together or channeling his anger for his act, he turns inward, to the loud din of his headphones and the crackling glow of fire to ease his mind. Chicago Reader summed up the film perfectly: “It’s like a Descendents song mixed with late Bunuel mixed with bum fight videos…And it’s fucking brilliant.”
