A cool film about American society - showing how America evolved into a paradise of Humanity. I also liked the exotic dancers in the fluffy * cat suits - keep up the good work, ladies :) This fine film also tackles some sensitive social issues - such as the use of magic mushrooms and cocaine. As alluded to in this picture, Hollywood hot shots and politicians basically have the liberty of getting high on drugs whenever they want; virtually being above the law in the cocaine department. While normal decent folks - like you and me - are prevented by law from sniffing cocaine and getting high on drugs - which is a bit unfair, I might add :) Hence American politicians should do something about that - by making a push to finally end the drug war in America, by legalizing cocaine :) In the long run this would improve social cohesion in the world, and also make the jobs for law enforcement officers easier - since there would be less drug trafficking and corruption - if everybody can just buy their cocaine in the pharmacy; especially since these drugs are no more damaging than alcohol; as recent studies have found. PS: Amid the current social and political upheaval in the world, it's imperative that everybody keeps a cool head and remains calm and positive in this very challenging and critical time, of manifesting Peace and Prosperity in the International Community. We would like to remind all Citizens of the World, that the importance of belonging to humankind takes precedence over all the marks of distinction that may separate one person from another. The thing that matters most is not that we have any particular cultural or national identity, or that we abide by any particular religious or philosophical conviction, but that we share with all humanity the highest values of the human race: Love, Cooperation and Compassion.

The (admittedly chaotic and incoherent) trailer for this movie piqued my interest when I saw it by chance on Youtube. I have trouble describing this movie adequately; it's very unique, there seems to be an incredible amount of details and things going on, but most importantly it doesn't seem to take itself too seriously. It's trippy and fun, the soundtrack is great (both the music created for this movie as well as other songs) and the people behind the movie are surprisingly approachable and helpful for random viewer questions. It's a great movie to re-watch as there's so much going on, no chance you catch everything on the first go.

I miss LA so much right now, I'd visit once a year and embrace it as my 2nd city (from NZ - in a long, badly managed lockdown right now), So I'm really pleased this popped up on my radar. As the 5th dimensional viewer, I enjoyed the feeling of blues skies, red curbs, and familiar landmarks washing over me. This "LA Hang Out Movie" took me deeper though than Jackie Brown or Under the Silver Lake - hanging out in the hills, the studios, catching a rooftop drink at The Standard, taking in a little cabaret, observing an actor's workshop, even tripping balls at a protest rally DTLA. Without giving too much away: we're hanging out with Doyle, a boutique mushroom chemist who has a sweet sublet up in the hills with rats in the attic, if he'd just lay off the 'shrooms he's dealing, his life wouldn't be so Mondo and he'd maybe find his missing cat. His customers and friends are the 'Titans', 'Weirdos' and 'Dreamers' we'll also be running with. Some of the character vignettes are Christopher Guest level hilarious (The Big Picture has the same style) I'm looking forward to re-watching just for the 'personal trainer' and 'night at the Oscar viewing party with the deadbeat agent'. Great acting, music, and obviously was a fun film to make.

Was not really sure what to expect from this film, loved the trailer and the premise and decided to check it out. I was not disappointed. On the contrary, really well developed characters, great actors and hilarious events and circumstances. If you are into the genre you will definitely love it. Give it a try!!

This movie wanted to be interesting, it wanted to be edgy and whimsical. However it failed. The characters were each somewhat interesting or would have been had there been any semblance of a plot. I would not recommend this movie to anyone who likes traditional movies. I might recommend it to someone tripping on drugs.

A funny, trippy, satire of Los Angelese. Never takes itself seriously, showing the many ridiculous sides and types in the not so glamorous Hollywoodland. Titans, Dreamers & Weirdos... which are you!? Really great archive footage/editing too.

A great, fast passed film that looks a Hollywood in a way you won't see in most films. The film is densely packed with symbolism and every frame has entertainment value. I definitely plan to re-watch it and find out what i missed the first time.

I saw the film promoted on instagram and the trailer looked really wild and bizarre. Though the film meanders at times, it was actually really goofy and held up to the my expectations of it being off-beat and unique. The film starts with the narrator who's essentially a character who goes on a mission to find Mondo, a phrase or state of mind it seems. He meets this drug dealer guy (but not tough, more like a hippie kind) and they split ways into three sections. Each section has two characters that have their own little story and craziness ensues. My favorite scenes were with the antifa girl, who was really funny and brought a lot of life to the film and gave the film some political edge. The ending brings it all together, which was satisfying because it did started to meander with the many different characters. Some of the movie does look and feel pretty low budget, but it sorta adds to the feeling of the film and it didn't bother me after a bit. If you like off-beat, experimental films, you should check it out for sure.
