In today’s #AskReddit segment, C asks, “What do you appreciate most about background actors in movies and television?” while D asks, “If ‘stoner movies’ didn’t mean movies about smoking weed but instead are movies that are simply amazing to watch while you’re high, what would you recommend?”
Thanks for joining us for this (perhaps a bit heavy) episode. It’s tough to have these conversations, but that only proves they’re important conversations to be having. We hope we’ve helped ease the stress on some of our fellow Americans (and anyone else watching U.S. politics on the edge of their seat). Remember you can send any of your questions and comments or obsessions and suggestions to currentlyobsessedclub@gmail.com. Stay safe out there, and stay obsessed!
