[Available April 20 on Hulu.] Crass humor punctuates Kevin Heffernan's hokey, irreverent, over-the-top, satirical, sporadically funny, well-paced, star-dotted (Kevin Heffernan, Erik Stolhanske, Gabriel Hogan, and James Huston), 99-minute comedy loosely inspired by Victor Hugo's 1831 classic The Hunchback of Notre Dame and reminiscent of Monty Python wacky humor in which bullied hunchback and torture chamber employee Quasimodo (Steve Lemme), who has the hots for the French queen (Adrianne Palicki), in 13th-century France is stuck between a "rock and a hard place" when the conniving, oyster-loving king (Jay Chandrasekhar) demands he kill the pope (Paul Soter) and then the pope demands he assassinate the king.
