About the Movie:

Mystery Team is a 2009 film created by the comedy group Derrick Comedy. The story was written by Donald Glover, DC Pierson, Dominic Dierkes, Dan Eckman, and Meggie McFadden. It stars Donald Glover, DC Pierson, and Dominic Dierkes. It was directed by Eckman and produced by McFadden.

In January 2008, Derrick Comedy took a hiatus from filming short online sketch videos to produce Mystery Team, which is the group's first feature-length production. The film was independently produced and shot over seven weeks in the Spring of 2008. It was shot on the Red camera. Mystery Team was filmed primarily in Manchester, New Hampshire, Eckman and McFadden's hometown. Mark's Showplace, a real-life strip club in Bedford, New Hampshire, was used as Ponytail's Gentlemen's Club in the movie. The Lumber Yard scenes were filmed on location at Reeds Ferry Lumber Corp. Merrimack, NH.

The movie was shot on a tight budget. Dominic Dierkes mentioned on the DVD commentary and on tour stops that lighting problems forced a wardrobe change for his character. Dierkes said his initially white shirt reflected light that appeared to glow when viewed on screen. With several early "white shirt" scenes already shot, and not having the budget to reshoot them, the members of Derrick opted to write in a gag in which Dierkes spilled chocolate milk and used the shirt as a rag, forcing him to switch to a red shirt for the remainder of the movie.

Plot:

The Mystery Team consisting of "Master of Disguise" Jason Rogers (Donald Glover), "Boy Genius" Duncan Wheeler (DC Pierson), and "The Strongest kid in town" Charlie Day (Dominic Dierkes) began with three children who styled themselves as detectives, solving mostly kid-related mysteries such as missing cats or a lost baseball, but also gaining some local fame. Somehow, the trio have remained as naïve as ever, although they are about to graduate from high school. They have continued the same mindset and antics even though they are teenagers, focusing on children's infractions, although adults (such as their parents) wonder when the teens will grow out of this attitude.

To prove to themselves and the town at large that they can be "real detectives", the Mystery Team take it upon themselves to solve a double homicide when they are hired by a young girl named Brianna (Daphne Ciccarelle) to discover why her parents were killed. Although Duncan and Charlie reluctant to help her, Jason convinces them to help her stating that it is their chance to prove they can be real detectives and earn everyone's respect. The Mystery Team is forced to spiral down a dark and endless road of dangerous drug dealers, strippers and a psychotic killer with a loaded gun. What's the worst that could happen?

Justin and Cory are back for more silver screen smoking, this week with classic Spielberg coming of age story, ET the Extraterrestrial.

About the Movie:

Young alien traveler becomes stranded on Earth and befriends a young boy named Elliott (Henry Thomas). Elliott dubs the creature E.T. and introduces him to his little sister, Gertie (Drew Barrymore) and their older brother. E.T. performs miracles with his human friends but falls ill and is eventually taken by force by government officials. ET and Elliott escape their clutches and send ET back to his family, while Elliott finds his place in his own Earth family.

Supposedly, Spielberg based the character on the imaginary friend he created after his parents' divorce in 1960. In 1980, Spielberg met screenwriter, Mathison, and developed a new story from the stalled sci-fi horror film project Night Skies.

The film was shot from September to December 1981 in California on a budget of US$10.5 million. Unlike many films, Spielberg filmed in chronological order, to facilitate convincing emotional performances from his young cast.

Released by Universal Pictures, E.T was an immediate blockbuster. It surpassed Star Wars to become the highest-grossing film of all time—a record held for eleven years until another Spielberg special effects bonanza, Jurassic Park, surpassed it in 1993.

It wins the 80s box office. Widely regarded as one of Spielberg's finest, critics similarly hailed it as a timeless story of friendship, putting it atop the list of greatest science fiction film ever made in a Rotten Tomatoes survey. It was re-released in 1985, and then again in 2002 to celebrate its 20th anniversary, with altered shots and additional scenes.

Most films go through several drafts before the final shooting script, but Melissa Mathison’s first draft is what Spielberg used during the shoot of the film. Instead of continuously revising individual drafts, Spielberg presented Mathison with the general narrative plot for her to round out. She wrote for five straight days and then went through with him for feedback. Spielberg later called the finished screenplay “the best first draft I’ve ever read.”

Tahoe OG - Tahoe OG is the perfect rainy day strain. Strong and fast-acting, you may not want to use this strain when you’re planning to leave the house. Great for those suffering from insomnia, pain, or lack of appetite, Tahoe OG has made a name for itself among other indicas. A top nighttime strain, it provides an extremely lazy, heavy body sensation. Due to superb breeding, Tahoe OG embodies all of the typical indica effects with an added euphoric, sativa-like kick. This strain features an earthy, lemon taste, and is a phenotype of OG Kush. Maturing at around 10 weeks, Tahoe OG is a must-try for those looking for a great night’s sleep. - Provided by The Strain

PLOT

*Spoilers Ahead*

Malcolm Adekanbi (Shameik Moore) is a high school senior. He and his best friends, Jib (Tony Revolori) and Diggy (Kiersey Clemons), are described as "geeks" in their neighborhood in Inglewood, California called "The Bottoms," where crime is prevalent. Malcolm is confident he will be admitted to his dream school, Harvard University, on his academic ability, but his school counselor calls Malcolm arrogant for thinking that Harvard would find his grades impressive, since their school is in a run-down L.A. suburb. He suggests Malcolm take the college application process more seriously, starting with his upcoming interview with businessman Austin Jacoby (Roger Guenveur Smith), a Harvard alumnus.

While biking home, Malcolm is stopped by a drug dealer named Dom (Rakim Mayers) who instructs Malcolm to invite a girl named Nakia (Zoë Kravitz) to his party. Finding him charming, Nakia tells Malcolm to tell Dom that she will only accept his invitation if Malcolm can come. Despite his initial reluctance, Jib and Diggy talk Malcolm into going to the party and go with him.

During the party, Dom and his crew meet in a back room to buy high-grade, powdered molly. The transaction is interrupted by a rival gang. Dom hides behind the bar where he finds Malcolm's backpack, which he fills with the drugs and a gun. He finds Malcolm, gives him the pack, and shoos him away from the club as the police sweep in.

Nakia drives Malcolm home when Malcolm offers to help her study for her GED test. The next day at school, Malcolm discovers the drugs, gun, and an iPhone and deduces that Dom slipped them into his bag during the shootout. Immediately, an unknown man calls the iPhone. The man reveals that he knows Malcom's identity, and instructs Malcolm to turn over the drugs that day. After school, Malcolm begins to undertake the hand-off, but is interrupted by another call, this time from Dom, who is in custody. Dom warns Malcolm that he's being lured into a trap, and advises him to flee. He texts Malcolm an address and tells him to ask for AJ.

Malcolm, Jib, and Diggy flee to the address that Dom sent them. They find themselves at the doors of a mansion, greeted by young man named Jaleel (Quincy Brown) and his sister Lily (Chanel Iman). Since their father, AJ, isn't home, Jaleel invites the three inside. Jaleel takes Jib and Diggy out to get food while Malcolm stays with Lily, who seduces him. Lily finds the drugs in his backpack and takes a heavy dose. Meanwhile, Malcolm gets a phone call reminding him of his alumni interview. Lily drives him there but she is high, and passes out at a stop sign. As Malcolm desperately tries to wake her, Lily springs up, runs out of the car and publicly urinates on a bush while bystanders record the incident. Malcolm takes her car and drives to the meeting himself.

Justin and Cory go back to the summer of 1987, a simpler time when $40 was enough to get you out of any tight spot. Elisabeth Shue proves she's the world's greatest blues singer/babysitter in, Adventures in Babysitting.

PLOT

*Spoilers Ahead*

After her boyfriend Mike (Bradly Whitford) unexpectedly cancels their anniversary date, Chris Parker (Elisabeth Shue), convinced by her mother babysits the Andersons' kids, Sara (Maia Brewton) and Brad (Keith Coogan) while they attend a party in Chicago. After receiving a frantic phone call from her friend Brenda (Penelope Ann Miller), who ran away to the bus station downtown and became stranded, Chris plans to go alone to pick her up, but is coerced by Brad, Sara and Daryl (Brad's Friend/Anthony Rapp) to take them with her. On the freeway, the Buick Electra station wagon suffers a flat tire and they are picked up by a kind tow truck driver, "Handsome" John Pruitt (John Ford Noonan), who offers to pay for the tire when Chris realizes she left her purse at the Andersons'. En route, Pruitt gets a call from his boss Dawson (Vincent D'Onofrio) with evidence that his wife is cheating on him, and he rushes to his house to confront the infidelity; Chris's mother's car is damaged when Pruitt accidentally shoots out the windshield with a revolver while aiming to kill his wife's lover. Chris and the kids hide in the adulterer's Cadillac, which is then car-jacked by a thief named Joe Gipp (Calvin Levels).

Reaching their hideout in the South Side, the kids realize they have stumbled upon a chop shop, and Joe is punched and chided by Graydon (Ron Canada), the operation's second-in-command, for bringing potential witnesses. They are detained in an upstairs office but manage to escape over the rafters and through a window, whereas Joe spots them but does not alert Graydon. They enter a blues club where the band on stage won't let them leave until they sing the blues. Chris, Brad, Sara and Daryl recount their events so far that night to the cheers of the audience and are allowed to leave, successfully losing Graydon and his leader Bleak (John Chandler). Meanwhile, Brenda is having trouble of her own; after her glasses are stolen she mistakes a sewer rat for a kitten and is appalled when pest control points it out, as well as arguing with a hot dog salesman who only takes cash.

They are then found and chased again by Greydon and Bleak, but manage to escape on the Chicago 'L' train and wind up in the middle of a gang fight in which Brad is injured when one of the gang leaders throws a switchblade onto his foot. They take Brad to the hospital, where he receives a single stitch to his toe, while the rest are led to believe he had died. They run into Pruitt, who tells the kids he replaced the windshield, but they need to pay Dawson $50 for the tire. The kids come across a fraternity house party and Chris meets and becomes attracted to Dan Lynch (George Newbern), a gentleman who learns of Chris' problem and donates $45 to help. He takes them to Dawson's Garage and drops them off. When they find Dawson, his blond hair and sledge hammer leads Sara to believe he is her hero Thor. He coldly denies them their car because of the $5 shortage, but when Sara offers him her toy Thor helmet, he changes his mind and lets them go. Meanwhile, Joe Gipp told Bleak about their troubles and the three are waiting to follow them. The kids find the restaurant where Mike was supposed to take Chris and discover he is there with another girl. Sara slips away on her own to look at a toy store while Chris yells at Mike. Brad stands up for his friend while Daryl kicks Mike into a food cart, ruining the dinner. Meanwhile, Sara is spotted by Bleak, and Graydon chases her to an office building where she goes into hiding on a floor being renovated; the others note her disappearance and follow, accidentally coming across the Andersons' party at the same time.

Justin and Cory go back to 1993 and hang out on the family farm with Pauly Shore and Carla Gugino in, Son in Law.

PLOT

"Rebecca Warner moves from her small farm town in South Dakota to attend college in Los Angeles at California State University, Northridge. On her first day, she and her parents Walter and Connie meet Crawl; the resident advisor of Becca's coed dormitory. After they leave, the clash of cultures drives Becca into seriously considering returning home, but Crawl advises her to give it a chance and she soon begins to acclimate; cutting and dyeing her hair, dressing in a more Californian fashion, and even getting a tattoo of a butterfly on her ankle. When Thanksgiving break approaches, Becca realizes that Crawl has nowhere to go, and she invites him to visit her family.

Shocked by her changes, the Warners and Becca's boyfriend Travis try to take it in stride and decide to put up with Crawl, who had gotten off on the wrong foot with Walter, Becca's father, when he dropped her off at college. At dinner, Becca realizes that Travis wants to propose marriage to her and she urges Crawl to speak. Unable to come up with anything off the cuff, Crawl tells them that he has already proposed and she had accepted. This upsets Becca's family who develops a disdain for Crawl, and Travis who becomes so jealous he punches Crawl in the face. Now acting as a future son-in-law, Crawl expresses an interest in farming, much to the amusement of Walter and his farmhand Theo to keep up the lie, who sends him through the pratfalls and tribulations of farming as he is tasked with daily chores." - Wikipedia

STRAINS

This weeks strains include:

Bernie's Cookies - Blue Cookies/Sativa Dominant - Thanks to The Strain in Chattsworth!

King Louis XIII - Indica Dominant - "King Louis XIII might be most famous for making wigs on men de rigeur for the French aristocracy, but in Southern California the name will bring to mind a popular indica-dominant strain. This strain announces itself as many people did in the 1600s: by its smell. The difference is this monarch’s odor is one that’s meant to be enjoyed; its dense nugs have an overwhelmingly piney smell with an earthy musk that will have you thinking of your last forest adventure. Bred in part from OG Kush, Louis XIII has a very similar spicy kush aroma. Good for insomnia, this strain often tests at over 20% THC." - Leafly.com - Thanks to Green Valley Collective in North Hollywood!

Green Crack - Sativa Dominant - "Don’t let the name fool you: this is pure cannabis. Few strains compare to Green Crack’s sharp energy and focus as it induces an invigorating mental buzz that keeps you going throughout the day. With a tangy, fruity flavor redolent of mango, Green Crack is the perfect daytime medication for patients treating fatigue, stress, and depression. Green Crack has branched into two genetic lineages, the most common of which is its sativa line descended from Skunk #1. The 75% indica variety of Green Crack is said to have come from an Afghani strain, and is marked by a tighter bud structure. Because its name perpetuates a negative image of cannabis, some people have taken to calling this strain Cush (with a ‘C’) or Green Cush instead." - Leafly.com - Thanks to Green Valley Collective in North Hollywood!
