The Get Highterion Collection

Our first Patrons only episode (to be unlocked in a months time). Tommy goes on a bizarre ramble covering tpics such as Roger Ebert's philosophy on film criticism, his own philosophy behind the get highterion collecton, the difficulty of picking apart bad comedy, the Arab Spring, Sacha Baron Cohen, the War on Drugs, Obama-era optimism and Bing The Rabbit.Next free episode will be The Big Lebowski. 

We are joined by Graham Fahey of Another Goddamn Horror Podcast (fourth time on the show!) to provide support as we watch a film featuring the most gruesome horror movie villain of all time, that weed stuff that grows in the ground that you smoke! We review Reefer Madness, the original stoner film, the original stoner comedy film (unintentional) and the original stoner horror film (intentional).We also discuss the weather, horror films, exploitation cinema, old timey american accents, lightsaber weed smoke, and something called a box social.Tommy's music here: http://www.stanfield.bandcamp.comMusic by JQ

Tommy and El review yet another stoner time travel movie, the third one in fact, though this has the twist of mainly being about the mundane ins-and-outs of trying to open a small business. However Tommy believes has found a secret plot to this movie which has revealed itself to only him.We also discuss the inconsistent coma science of the movie, whether or not they had automatic doors in the 70s, the dilemma of raising a teenager once you have seen them be a dumb baby, medical malpractice and the hip new trend known as scromiting.Music by JQMetal here: https://stanfield.bandcamp.com/
