Selected cast credits · Film reference
In the order the hosts got to it. Open a row for the discussion.
Rogen and Franco were originally assigned opposite roles, Olivia Thirlby preceded Heard, and Bryan Cranston was rejected for Ted Jones as insufficiently scary immediately before Breaking Bad.
Dale buying and smoking Pineapple Express with Saul
Single-outfit continuity, music, McBride and Robinson, marijuana legalization, restrained vomit, Rogen’s career, the diner, immortal Red, fight timeouts, volatile phone calls, and Saul’s Bubby
Split: “Electric Avenue”; Bob Marley’s “Time Will Tell”
The red slushie, vomited chicken fries, fruit roll-ups, and Red’s cat-birthday cake split the category.
The old military installation turned cannabis farm
The foot through the windshield
The cross-joint scene is boring; the trailer promises a better movie; the heroes’ decisions mostly make sense; Dale should abandon Saul
The third Angie phone call and breakup; return before Dale recruits Red
The unnecessary high-school-girlfriend plot, Franco and Heard’s later controversies, racial naming of the rival dealers, and naive phone-tracking debate
“Thug Life”
Angie’s thin, reworked girlfriend plot
Skyler Gisondo, Tim Robinson, and Sam Richardson
The meteorological name, real civil engineers, locations, 180 uses of “fuck,” cross joints, cable overdubbing, the smoking billboard, Snicklefritz, injuries, and overlapping Superbad work
Weed’s movie apex: strong case
No plaque winner
Snicklefritz, Bong Mitzvah, Pineapple Express, I’m Done with the Woods, Mr. Wiggles, Not a Compliment, and Big Sexy
“You just got killed by a Daewoo Lanos, motherfucker”
Dale meeting Angie, insufficiently red eyes, the family fleeing home, process-server anger, easy police escape, exposed farm ventilation, unmentioned cannabis fire, and beer with milk
A Red spinoff or Ted Jones rise-to-power series
A possible Dumb and Dumber homage; whether Pineapple Express is sativa; the real strain’s quality
Danny Trejo as Ted’s rival or partner; Kathryn Hahn; Samuel L. Jackson
Danny McBride gets the one Oscar for supporting actor, with Franco as the only hesitation.
Arrest for the cop car; Red dying in transit; Red and Bubby dying together
Do not let your drug dealer upsell you
A preserved cross joint
