El Pinchito and the Shaman are heading out on the first Devil's Lettuce Film Society field trip - and you're invited! On this very special minisode, our heroes attend a screening of Koyaanisqatsi (1982) as part of the Hot Docs Cinema's "High Minded" film series where responsible adults can get legally stoned and watch the finest psychedelic films. But while you will hear Shaman and Pinchy's thoroughly blazed thoughts on both the film and the cannabis, the true gold of this minisode is the random hippie who overheard us talking about Koyaanisqatsi and decided to share an anecdote about his own experiences with the movie.
