Grab your buds and join us for a hazy and hilarious evening of cinematic celebration as we commemorate 420. Prepare to be transported into the whimsical and absurd world of marijuana with two iconic films that have solidified their places in stoner cinema history.
At 8:00 PM, we kick off with the cult classic REEFER MADNESS. Released in 1936, this propaganda film aimed to warn viewers about the dangers of marijuana use but instead became a unintentionally hilarious satire. REEFER MADNESS follows the melodramatic and exaggerated consequences of marijuana addiction, depicting wild hallucinations, violent outbursts, and societal downfall—all of which are now viewed through a lens of campy entertainment and absurdity.
Then, at 9:30 PM, get ready to roll with laughter as we dive into the ultimate stoner comedy, CHEECH AND CHONG'S UP IN SMOKE! Released in 1978, this film marks the debut of the iconic duo Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong. Follow their misadventures as two hapless stoners unwittingly smuggle a van made entirely of marijuana across the border, leading to a series of outrageous escapades filled with unforgettable characters, uproarious moments, and a soundtrack that perfectly captures the spirit of the times.
