Oh hi,
This week on FilmSlacker we … uh… well… we uh … hey man… I just had the weirdest dream in the bed back there … Have you ever had one of those dreams that was completely fabricated from your memories of the 1990s and then streamed on HBO Max Max…. where you are walking around town following the local anarchists slash rebels slash conspiracy theorist slash “your mom’s new boyfriend sucks” slash “get a job ya durn hippie” slash “dude, do you ever shut up” types. I mean those kind of dreams are so vivid. It’s just like completely real. It’s like, a Tuesday on your favorite Social Media Platform. The Nightmare is Real!
Anywho, I know what I got to show you guys, man. This…this will blow your gourd. I have this friend, She’s a Butthole doctor in Texas. alright. One of those Colonologist slash Surfers who hangs 10 with a camera right into chocolate starfish to see if she can find your head when it gets stuck so far up your own ass that you can’t shut up talking about it. So she sent me this through the mail like some mislabeled Cologuard sample that came to my front door…HEY THIS AIN’T MY AMAZON ORDER. Right right…so do you guys wanna buy Madonna’s Butt Smear or what?
Randy, Pencil Game or Slap Fight… why not both! Dammit Texas, everything doesn’t always have to be bigger.

BRIEF
Austin, Texas, is an Eden for the young and unambitious, from the enthusiastically eccentric to the dangerously apathetic. Here, the nobly lazy can eschew responsibility in favor of nursing their esoteric obsessions. The locals include a backseat philosopher (Richard Linklater) who passionately expounds on his dream theories to a seemingly comatose cabbie (Rudy Basquez), a young woman who tries to hawk Madonna’s Pap test to anyone who will listen and a kindly old anarchist looking for recruits.
