Chronic-Con, Episode 420: A New Dope

About This Movie

Chronic-Con, Episode 420: A New Dope is this laid-back, comedic doc that takes you on a trip through the haze of Comic-Con. Doug Benson, the perennial stoner comic, navigates the chaos of San Diego's grand event with his characteristic humor. The film's pacing flows like a conversation among friends, blending candid interviews and goofy moments. You get a real sense of the camaraderie and the shared love for comics and film among the guests. It feels less structured than your typical documentary, leaning into the offbeat nature of the participants like Kevin Smith and Joe Rogan. The atmosphere is casual, almost like a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the absurdity of fandom, making it distinctively charming in its own right.
