We’ve had the Social Network. WeWork. Uber. BlackBerry. Theranos. Plenty of movies and documentaries about young entrepreneurs and their ascents with the inevitable personal or professional failings as it all comes crashing down.
Why not a movie about one such millennial who is just fucking awesome without any of that negative shit?
Prime the Pump is the story of Logan Paul, an early YouTube influencer who leveraged his ad revenue to become both an electrifying sports entertainment figure in the WWE and an energy/hydration drink empire magnate.
From his early beginnings in childhood being visited nightly by the ghost of Arnold Schwarzenegger who encouraged him that he would be the next Terminator or at least Kindergarten Cop, to his dalliances across the globe, to the watershed moment where he coined the name for his successful brand of drinks by realizing “prime” sounds like “slime, only prettier” this is a biopic of a living legend like no other.
Marvel as Logan works his way up through the illegal baby fighting pits of Thailand, exorcises Yokai in Hokkaido, and climbs the Burj Khalifa with Tom Cruise just to get a Scientology stamp to gain access to the WWE Performance Center.
Swoon as he seduces an entire retirement community in central Florida.
Cheer as he successfully gets 90s nu-metal acts Korn and Limp Bizkit to reunite and go on tour with Aerosmith, where he has a private floating box that hovers around each arena using maglev technology so he can jerk off and shit onto his favorite bands and the crowd each performance.
It’s a celebration of the kind of fame and success one could only achieve online in the early 2010s- streaming exclusively on Primecock this Thanksgiving.
