Listen "171. COMEDY CINEMA 4: The Stoners"
Episode Synopsis
Moving from the absurd to the irreverent, today Alex and Jonathan look at three films which encompass a subset of comedy in which the characters are under the influence in some form or fashion: Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989), The Big Lebowski (1998), and The Hangover (2009). We discuss the glorification and justification of the stoner, the primary motivations and conflicts which typically arise, and how the characteristics of the stoner are seen in films and characters beyond literal stoners.Skip to:(08:53) – Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure(23:39) – The Big Lebowski(42:40) – The Hangover(52:51) – Overall(1:02:13) – Coming AttractionsComing Attractions:Mean Girls (2004)Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)The Fall Guy (2024)For more information, visit the blog:https://thefilmlings.com/2025/04/25/the-stonersJoin us on Discord for ongoing film discussion:https://discord.gg/MAF6jh59cF
