If you were around the age of 17 and smoked dope when Super Troopers came out (also, sorry, but Super Troopers 2 is super kak), you probably have a soft spot for stoner movies.

Then it was Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder in the space of the same year – a golden age for zol smokers, I tell you.

I don’t know what today’s younger stoners are watching (I would recommend High Maintenance), but they might want to take a look at Never Goin’ Back.

Here’s the Guardian with an honest assessment:

Never Goin’ Back, indie distributor A24’s new mumblecore, millennial buddy comedy, stars newcomers Maia Mitchell and Camila Morrone…

The two live together; watch porn together; light up together; rail lines of coke together; draw dicks on each other’s faces; attempt amateur heists; and wait tables at the Buttermilk Cafe, where they’re loading up on shifts so they can afford that weekend trip to Galveston to celebrate Jessie’s 17th.

There’s not much more to the plot than that, but it works precisely because of its slightness: for these freewheeling, high-school dropouts, a weekend on the Gulf coast is a sojourn of Eat, Pray, Love proportions, and they’ve already blown next month’s rent to make it happen.

Roll tape, please:

Before you call them Millennials, consider that they’re 17. That would make then Gen Z, in case you’re taking notes.

You just do you, young stoners.
