Video of the Week - The Wackness

In the midst of the Queen's Birthday Long Weekend we took some downtime from the party party to veg out with a DVD. Maybe it's our satirical look on life or our damn-the-man attitude, but for some reason Art House always seems to find its way to our hands.

This time it was a film called The Wackness... and we were blown away.

Set against a 1994 NYC backdrop, The Wackness tells the story of Luke Shapiro, a recent high school graduate, who sells pot out of an ice cream pushcart to survive the boredom of summer in the city.
Biggie is just breaking through, Cobain has just suicided, white-boys are throwing dope chat, Giuliani is pushing for a whitewash and cassettes are cool.

Starring Josh Peck (Nickelodeon's Drake + Josh), Method Man, Ben Kingsley and Mary Kate Olsen The Wackness is a great way to escape the 2000s and get but to the simplicity of the 90s.
