Never Seen It Podcast

There always seems to be that one person, in every group of friends, that hasn't seen a popular movie. On this Podcast, we gather our friends, and expose one another (wink) to the hit films that flew under somebody's radar. Sit back, enjoy the laughs, and it should go without saying, but Warning: Spoilers Ahead!

  1. Never Seen It Podcast - Episode 47 Up In Smoke (1978)

    APR 17

    Never Seen It Podcast - Episode 47 Up In Smoke (1978)

    In this hazy and hilarious episode, we dive deep into Up in Smoke, the iconic 1978 stoner comedy that launched Cheech and Chong from counterculture legends to cinematic trailblazers. We explore the film’s place in the cultural zeitgeist of stoner flicks and how it helped define the genre with its laid-back absurdity, offbeat humor, and unapologetic celebration of cannabis culture. Arnold kicks things off with a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reminiscing about his days as a young lad getting high with his buddies in the park behind his house—painting a perfect picture of how Up in Smoke hit home for an entire generation. Justin chimes in with how every time this film popped up on TV, it practically lit a bowl for him—proof of its timeless pull for weed-loving viewers. We also touch on the scrappy origins of the film’s production. With a low budget and lots of hustle, Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong performed standup gigs to raise money for the movie—true DIY pioneers blazing their own trail (pun intended). Adrian brings a sharp lens to the conversation, highlighting the underlying social commentary—particularly the class contrast between Tommy Chong’s character, a privileged burnout, and Cheech Marin’s street-savvy Pedro. He breaks down a memorable scene where Cheech freaks out, thinking the cops are busting down the door for drugs—only to chill out when he realizes it's “la migra.” Adrian draws a direct line to today’s ICE raids, adding timely relevance to a joke that was funny then, and eerily familiar now. We also recap the film’s plot: Anthony “Man” Stoner, an unemployed, pot-smoking slacker and wannabe drummer, runs away from his strict parents and crosses paths with Pedro de Pacas. The two become fast friends (thanks, weed), get arrested for possession, but are let go on a technicality. From there, it’s a series of wild, weed-fueled misadventures that culminate in a chaotic rock contest performance featuring their anthem, “Earache My Eye.” Whether you're lighting up or just vibing along, this episode is a love letter to the film that proved getting high and getting laughs could go hand in hand—and maybe even sneak in some social insight along the way.
