We're starting off Season 2 with the Coens' biggest cult hit. The Big Lebowski has spawned its own festival, its own religion, and has taken on a life of its own since it was released in 1999. In some ways, it's larger than the whole Coen oeuvre, but where does it fit in? And do you have to be on drugs to fully appreciate it? We test this theory by all being in the same room for the first time and partaking or cannabis and White Russians.

We're joined by podcaster and co-host of Mental Platypus, Jared Duran - the biggest Lebowski fan we know.

It's our messiest and most freewheelin' episode to date. Find out if some illicit substances changed our mind about the film...
