Description

After eight weeks of cinematic exploration into the world of "drugs movies" for Season 11, Dan and Sarah are back to share some of our favourite moments from the season!

Sarah's season of drugs films has certainly been a 'journey', and not always the warm, fuzzy, hot chocolate kind. From the 'quintessential drugs movie' vibes of Trainspotting and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and the notoriously bleak Requiem for a Dream, to the time-bending drug trips of Synchronic and the chaotic highs of Pineapple Express, this season has had it all. And yes, we've even managed to shoehorn in a few tangents about the American Pie franchise, Herbie, and why we'd rather live in the American Sock timeline.

So, what can you expect from the "best of drugs movies" season, you ask? Well, apart from us probably weeping under the stairs, you'll get:

• Deep dives into drug-themed cinema, from the "most paranoid movie known to man" to films that make you question reality and the human condition.
• Behind-the-scenes insights including how David Bowie helped secure Trainspotting's iconic soundtrack and why Danny Boyle turned down a knighthood.
• Explorations of directors' filmographies, including the unique approaches of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead and the distinctive, often challenging, style of Gaspar Noé.
• Chaotic discussion, pop culture detours (like debating sexy presidents), and strong opinions on everything from Love Actually to whether Rosie Perez needed to be so 'menacing' in Pineapple Express.

Make sure to mark September 8th in your calendar as that is when we return for season 12!
