Synopsis
A documentary that explores the life and career of Ferris Butler, a former writer for “Saturday Night Live” during its notorious 1980-1981 season. This era is remembered for its challenges, yet Butler left a significant mark with his daring and provocative sketches. Notably, his sketch “Leather Weather,” featuring a leather-clad Denny Dillon whipping Charlie Rocket while he is strapped to a map, pushed the envelope for sexualization in comedy and became a cultural touchstone of its time.
