Reservation Dogs: House Made of Bongs (2023)
70's Flashback!
Great episode! Time travelling back to 1976. It really captures the feel. The music, clothes, drugs, and references to AIM.
I did find an anachronism, though. In the first 3 minutes they show some youth rolling and smoking pot. It shows them using a grinder but I know for a fact that grinders weren't a thing until the 1990's.
Anther small issue is the kids are supposedly taking "window pane" but they are shown taking paper blotter. Window pane was mostly clear, kinda like a square of cellophane. Same with the acid known as "Clearlight".
The suspense at the end was well played, raising expectations of a tragic ending but instead it's quite the opposite. Tension released!
Kid Cannabis (2014)
Based on a true story and I was there, sort of
I gave the Movie an extra high rating because it is based on a true story and has scenes that take place IRL in a store in Nelson, BC, Called Holy Smoke Culture Shop that I was part owner of back in the day. The movie stays pretty true to the actual facts as I understand them. The origiinal story appeared in Rolling Stone Magazine. Even tho the shop in the movie is shot at a real pot shop in Victoria run by real-life activist Ted Smith it captures the feel of Holy Smoke just the same. I enjoyed the movie overall.
