SHOWNOTES: Happy 4/20, Collateral Cinephiles! This year's holiday season continues with another analysis from the only movie podcast that matters on a stoner comedy classic: the 1998 film co-written by and starring Dave Chappelle: Half Baked! Featuring for a second time special guest host Chazz Raab from the Trial by Error Variety Show, your co-hosts Beau, Robert, Ash, and Dakota (as usual) smoke a pound of weed and delve into this colorful pothead comedy. We discuss the career of Dave Chappelle and how this movie influenced it, this film's depiction of the various stoner archetypes true to life, as well as the memorably at-times-energetic scenes throughout. Get high with the Collateral crew, laugh along during this movie's crazy antics, and join us for an exceptional #420day!
