With us being days away from the new Kevin Smith film release of Tusk on September 19th, A24 Films is doing an intoxicating marketing scheme with the help of LA-based weed dispensary Buds & Roses. Together they will be releasing two strains of high-end cannabis in honor of Tusk, one being “Mr. Tusk” and the other being “White Walrus”. Rumor has it […]

Tarantino's spaghetti western takes a lot to stomach
Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained is, in a single word, brutal. Unflinchingly, gorily, misanthropically, even gleefully brutal, to a point that a couple scenes were so ruthless they will churn your guts. Now I survived Irreversible, so that’s saying a lot.

Skateboard company Stacks has teamed up with artist Kevin Lyons — whose work has been popping up on Urban Outfitters billboards across Los Angeles lately — on a new line of decks, dubbed the Monster Series. Sure they’re not particularly scary, unless you’re a member of the Christian Coalition or are habitually cracked out on […]

Maker's Mark gets a caramel and vanilla make-over
Maker’s Mark has exploded in popularity over the past decade, and for good reason. As a carefully crafted small-batch whisky, it makes a much better alternative to the Jim Beams and Jack Daniels of the world. Now, for the first time since setting up shop in 1958, Maker’s Mark are putting out a new varietal […]
