    Fellas is it gay to become completely obsessed with another man to the point of mutual destruction???

    This film felt very long. Almost... too long.

    What was this meant to make us feel? What was the lesson here? Like I feel like we were meant to be rooting for Utah, but also somehow Bodhi? Maybe that's the point. Maybe we're stupid. We're open to that possibility.

Whilst parts of this film were fun (the entirety of Spengler’s participation was a highlight) the entirety of Bill Murray’s character dampens our enjoyment. As a character he is reprehensible, and for a while we thought we had missed a subplot where he drank heavily, as that is the only explanation for his 'quips'. His treatment of the…
