So deliciously bad. If u are also high, here are my favs:
1.) The VFX is so awful. Like in a way you expect from Sci Fi channel or movies in the early 2000s

When she would lower the blinds to her office, it was well known among the cleaning and security staff: she’s up in there smellin stuff from the lost and found and straight up whacking off. Anyway, I’m glad they made a film about it and it’s insane she’s still our boss.
