Director Clay Liford’s comedic short about a neurotic son, his laissez-faire mother and their road trip in search of herbal supplies. Made in 2008 for $600, selected for the Sundance Festival in 2010.

Alex Gibney’s 2008 documentary Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, in its full and glorious whacked-outnity for your delectation this lazy afternoon.
IMDb adds:
Fueled by a raging libido, Wild Turkey, and superhuman doses of drugs, Thompson was a true “free lance, ” goring sacred cows with impunity, hilarity, and a steel-eyed conviction for writing wrongs. Focusing on the good doctor’s heyday, 1965 to 1975, the film includes clips of never-before-seen (nor heard) home movies, audiotapes, and passages from unpublished manuscripts.
