America has a problem with mind-altering substances. Alcohol, fentanyl, weed. We want it all so we don't have to think too hard about the real world. This isn't a good thing. But who's to blame? Shadowy corporations getting us all hooked? Humanity's proclivity for escapism? Or maybe it's reality's fault for being so crappy. Lucky for you, there's a way to leave reality without getting drunk or high: movies! Except those are crappy too. Hmm.
