Watch of Shame: The Beach Bum
I have zero idea why this movie was in my Hulu queue but when I was warned it would be leaving the streaming service in a few days, I knew it was The Beach Bum’s moment to shine. One piece of information that I didn’t have until I had finished that I think would have definitely prepared me for the 90 minute drug trip I was about to watch: the writer/director behind this movie is the same one who helmed Spring Breakers. You’re welcome.
I….don’t think I can adequately explain what I watched. Because I don’t know if I can fully understand it myself. I have no idea why or how this movie was made, so I’m realizing as I type that may be exactly why How Did This Get Made hasn’t covered this film. (Granted, they’ve moved away from truly trying to answer that question, but a part of me was so proud of finding a movie they hadn’t covered.)
