When capricious 86-year-old owner and founder “King” George Coulam attempts to retire, his underlings, the obsequious & loyal-to-a-fault Jeff and the ambitious & conniving Louie, are pitted against each other in their attempts to gain control of the park.

We sit down with Mike Cheslik, the director of the new(ish) silent comedy action farce Hundreds of Beavers.

But we also have some levity, in John Fetterman’s freakout over vat meat, the Biden admin’s flaccid signalin...
