It’s that time of year again. When the birds and billionaires return to New York from their migratory trips down south. When the streets smell briefly of pollen and halal meat before it shifts to the summer’s oppressive shit and piss olfactory explosion. And when Spectacle aligns itself with an international counterculture holiday and publicly notes the fact that we’re all getting high and watching movies (even though we do it daily regardless). That’s right, it’s April 20th. 420. Stoner day. A day of rest and respite before we set fire to the banks on May 1st.

Spectacle has a long history of special 420 holiday screenings. Two years ago the holiday landed on a Saturday affording us the ability to screen a day-long marathon of seven choice stoner cinema nuggets. Last year it fell on a Sunday, and we celebrated with a pot-themed Blood Brunch, and two action-packed flicks: the no-budget British kung-fu BRIGHTON WOK and the once lost, but now found, William Greaves trip to Jamaica, THE MARIJUANA AFFAIR. This year 420 is on a Monday, and while it is not an ideal day for the working class to cut loose, we take solace in the fact that, unlike alcohol, smoking weed all night won’t leave you completely debilitated for work the next day. Perhaps a bit foggy, but you can still operate heavy machinery. Maybe.

This year we also return to the mystery movie format of the 2024 STONE ZONE MARATHONE and years past and present a double feature of mystery marijuana movies from the early 1970s that you won’t know until the opening credits start. Just trust us.
