Good Girls Get High
(2018)

Sadly overshadowed by everything in 2018
I saw this two years later in 2020, it is funny, entertaining, well written and well produced. The sad thing is it will be buried along with other films no one heard of that were released in 2018. The first thing that came to mind was "Good Girls Get High" is so similar to "Book Smart", a really fun and exceptional movie from 2019 that ironically enough was overshadowed that year as well. This movie seems a little more on the indie side with its production budget. The basic plot is two teen best friends overachievers get labeled "Good Girls" in their year book and one of them get offended by the bland title so she convinces her best friend to try to have fun like the rest of their high school before they graduate next week, the craziness ensues.

Even though "Good Girls Get High" is little far fetched on some of the plot points, it's a fun, likeable film. Is it the best film in it's genre? No, but there a so many terrible teen coming of age movies out made all the time in the US alone and this is not one of them. If you like this genre and don't want an over the top Hollywood teen movie with some substance, this will do.

The Midnight Beast
(2012)

The Midnight Beast Season 1 (Series 1)
The first season of this show is really funny and well thought out, very short episodes mostly under twenty five minutes each episode. These guys are an actual band from England that had Youtube videos and were able to create a show where they play exaggerated versions of themselves. The show is about the three best friends living in a crappy flat in South West London while trying to reach fame, they have an alcoholic & cocaine addict band manager that is too busy getting high to get them a gig. At first they aren't aware of his issues but later in the season they realize. In the show they have sort of random music video performances of original songs they created, this is in the tradition of The Lonely Island where they usually make fun of themselves or sing about something funny. It is a great show and I hope the later seasons get better.
