About this listen
Up In Smoke, Half Baked, Grandma's Boy & Pineapple Express
This week, we’re bingeing weed comedies, there's so many to list but if you got a favorite make sure to mention it in the comments. From self funded gambles to movies so popular they were "stolen" from Blockbuster, we’re looking at some of our favorites in the genre.
The Lineup:
Up In Smoke: How Lou Adler self funded the final $800k after Paramount bailed, the "bus bench" marketing pivot, and the vacuum cleaner tube used for the "Ajax Lady" stunt.
Half Baked: Why Dave Chappelle felt the final film was "watered down" and the logistics of the munchie run that killed a diabetic police horse.
Grandma’s Boy: The ultimate cult hit that bombed in theaters but became one of the most stolen DVDs in Blockbuster history.
Pineapple Express: Seth Rogen’s seven year fight to get a greenlight and why Bryan Cranston was rejected for being "not scary enough" to play a dealer.
Join us as we discuss:
Snorting Ajax: The vacuum cleaner and hidden tube trick used for the "Ajax Lady" stunt in Up In Smoke.
The "Watered Down" Script: Neal Brennan’s story on how the Half Baked script was changed into a "weed movie for kids."
The Blockbuster Secret: Why the CEO of Blockbuster told Nick Swardson that Grandma's Boy was the most stolen movie in the store's history.
The Cupcake Audition: The series of misadventures in Smiley Face after unknowingly eating marijuana cupcakes.
The Heisenberg Rejection: Why Judd Apatow didn't think Bryan Cranston was "evil" enough to play the villain in Pineapple Express.
