No, it’s not a biopic about Jim Poolman, former insurance commissioner of North Dakota. It’s a comic sunshine noir about an actual pool-maintaining Poolman, played (and written/directed) by fave Chris (Pine), who finds himself tangled in a criminal conspiracy… or maybe he’s just whacked-out and paranoid? We’re joined in this pool party by one of our most beloved returning guests, Mr. Josh Gondelman — check out his new stand-up special, available for free, right now!
