Schwag

After smoking weed one time, a woman believes that remaining stoned will be the answer to all of her problems. “Schwag,” directed by Danny Hurwitz, stars a hilarious Sara Hennessey in a meandering tale of indecisiveness and pot smoking. At first she declines to hit a joint with a friend, played by a nonchalant Whitley Watson, explaining that she used to be a huge pothead in high school which resulted in not having any “teen-mem’s” (teenage memories). Seconds pass, and the woman decides she’s actually down to take a drag. A second later, she hesitates again, proceeding to tell a spiraling story of her most recent session with weed. It unfolds in flashback form; we learn about an evening two years ago where a party, apartment deep clean, next-level sex, and kitchen experiments all took place. When she tries to replicate the experience, it goes horribly wrong
