Plot
Three potentially dangerous, down-on-their-luck malcontents focus their rage on an unassuming group of people who just want to launder their linens in this independently produced and distributed feature. Wash Dry and Spin Out focuses on the small-time thieves Gil (Jason Morck) and Carl (Ted King), fresh from a successful robbery and eager to spend the rest of their day drinking at the bar. After accumulating their unlucky-in-love friend Jeff (Randy Thomas) and pounding back more alcohol than a frat house on pledge night, the trio heads to the local coin-op for Jeff to throw in a load of soiled sundries. There, Carl sets his sights on berating the other patrons, and it isn't long before Gil and Jeff follow suit. But when Carl crosses the line, he finds that although he might be able to stand up to the meek security guard on duty, he might not be able to count on his friends for backup. ~ Michael Hastings, All Movie Guide
