This review contains plot details for Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling, now streaming on Netflix.
It was hard to know what to expect from a Rocko’s Modern Life revival special at Netflix, but it definitely wasn’t a sharp commentary on reboot culture and fan entitlement that miraculously captures the core essence of the Nickelodeon cartoon as if two decades haven’t passed.
In an era where Buzzfeed quizzes try to determine how much of a ’90s kid you are, no matter what year you were born, the return of a beloved property is less a matter of “if,” and more of a “when.” As if summoned from our collective subconscious as pop culture revivals become ever more prevalent (and fans become more demanding), the 45-minute Static Cling devotes itself to the very nature of its return.
