Hey there, pal! If you're currently melting into your couch cushions and/or becoming one with your mattress, just scrolling for something cool to watch before you come down, then wow, you are in the right place.
It took Aardman Animation a hot second to cook up Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, but don't let that stop you. This sequel to 2000's Chicken Run (which is still the highest-grossing stop-motion movie ever made!) is nearly as much of a blast as the original. And that's really no surprise given Aardman's portfolio of delightfully animated films, including modern classics like Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep.
Depending on what kind of high it is you're rocking, you may just want to get lost in conversation or listen as someone else regales you with tall tales. We've all been there! Well, lucky for you, author and iconic New York City personality Fran Lebowitz has made getting lost in conversation her career, and this seven-part docu-series directed by Martin Scorsese himself captures that freewheeling and funny conversation brilliantly.
Baz Luhrmann movies are whirlwinds of color and sound and visual chaos that often feel a bit like staring into a singing kaleidoscope. And his 2022 biopic of one Mr. Elvis Aaron Presley (starring an Oscar-nominated Austin Butler) is a perfect fit for Baz's over-the-top rhinestone sensibilities.
In between making Aquaman movies, writer/director James Wan took a little detour back to his home genre of horror to churn out this explosion of absolute WTF-ery. A throwback to the '80s and early '90s era of outrageous trash horror that seemed to throw every gag (in every sense of the word) at the screen to see what stuck, this 2021 movie follows a woman named Madison (Annabelle Wallis) who finds herself and all of the people around her being hunted by a psychotic long-haired killer. One with a fetish for leather dusters, and a big golden knife.
It's doubtful you'll feel lost here if you missed the first Meg, which saw a wetsuit-wearing Jason Statham battling the gigantic prehistoric shark called a Megalodon. But if you did, here's a catch-up: Jason Statham battled a gigantic prehistoric shark called a Megalodon. The end. And, spoiler alert, in Meg 2, he does it again!

I was instantly reminded of Ticket to Paradise, where a mother (Julia Roberts) and her ex-husband (George Clooney) team up to stop their daughter from marrying a seaweed farmer in Bali (spoiler: romantic sparks begin to fly). Then there's Maybe I Do, where a happy couple introduces their parents to discuss marriage, only to find out that they already have a history. And I can't forget about the star-studded The Big Wedding, where two divorced parents agree to fake marriage as a favor to their engaged son on his wedding day.
They may not be exactly the same, but the meddling of parents (with a potential love story of their own) seems to be a common thread, and I suspect that this trend will continue for a while. Ticket to Paradise turned out to be a big box office hit in 2022, grossing $168 million worldwide and more recent streaming releases like You People (2023) have raked up enough views to dominate the top ten list. Add to this the successful history of older gems that tackle similar storylines, like Meet the Parents, which made a cool $330 million, and Monster-in-Law, which made $155 million.
So, why the fascination with boomer parents and in-laws when it comes to wedding flicks? In my humble opinion, it's because they're real, they're funny and they wield quite a bit of A-list star power. In-laws can create a breeding ground for chaos, awkwardness and conflict. They can clash over cultural differences and nitpick over wedding details. They can even put couples to the test and try to break up the engagement. And boy, is it entertaining to see how they approach these high-stress situations. Especially when those in-laws have a history or a dark past.
Another reason I suspect this trend is on the rise? These movies actually resonate, on some level, with the people who have lived it. Be it a mother who learned about her daughter's engagement at the very last minute or a daughter whose dad can't seem to find any common ground with her in-laws. Sure, the depictions aren't always accurate, but I'm guessing there are real-life in-laws out there who can see themselves in the characters.
The "high" and holy holiday of 4/20 is upon us once again, with plenty of pungent programming to toke. For the uninitiated, April 20 is an unofficial holiday also known as "Weed Day," dedicated to all things marijuana. It's traced back to 1971, when a group of high schoolers from San Rafael, California, known as the Waldos, agreed to meet at 4:20 p.m. with map in hand to search for a plot of marijuana plants that had been abandoned by its owner.
The notion of 420 as a countercultural celebration became a thing in the 1990s when a group of Grateful Dead fans posted flyers in Oakland, California, urging fans to light up on April 20 at 4:20 p.m.
Wherever you fall on the pot spectrum, we're here to suggest stoner-themed movies and TV shows for just about every altered state, all of which are available to rent, buy, watch for free or stream with a subscription.
If you think there's a more quotable stoner movie than "The Big Lebowski," well, that's just, like, your opinion, man. The Coen brothers' 1998 cult classic is an offbeat crime caper about a shaggy, White Russian-swilling stoner named The Dude (Jeff Bridges), who gets pulled into a ransom scheme involving a rich philanthropist's two-timing trophy wife (Tara Reid). Featuring an all-star cast including Philip Seymour Hoffman, Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi and John Goodman (Oscar-worthy as a foul-mouthed Vietnam vet), the film also has plenty of outlandish dream sequences that are best enjoyed after a few bong rips.
Oh, Abbi and Ilana, how we miss you. Few series better capture New York in all its sweaty, smelly, scrappy glory than "Broad City." If you want to live vicariously through Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson as they smoke a bowl and go on delightfully absurd adventures, this is your show.
Pot comedy got its start this 1978 Cheech and Chong caper, in which the comics unwittingly drive a "fiberweed" van built entirely out of hardened marijuana resin from Mexico to the USA while being tailed by an incompetent narcotics officer (Stacy Keach).
If you're under 30, you've probably only ever known Penn, a two-time Oscar winner, as a Serious Dramatic Actor, having played a grieving father in "Mystic River," a condemned prisoner in "Dead Man Walking" and a gay political icon in "Milk." But Penn's big break came in this 1982 high school comedy, in which he played stoner dude Jeff Spicoli, whose worldview can be summed up thusly: "Surfing's not a sport, it's a way of life, it's no hobby. It's a way of looking at that wave and saying, 'Hey, bud, let's party!' "
