"Look, I'm just gonna go home and kill myself. You wanna share a cab?" "So I can pass out and wake up *alone* on New Year's Day?" On today's episode, we're closing out the year with an absolutely appropriate pick for New Year's Eve. This film has somewhat gone lost, but is deeply beloved by a lot of folks who have seen it and that is the MTV Film, 200 Cigarettes (1999) This movie is full of a bunch of up-and-coming stars as they have one crazy NYE evening in New York City, and it's a fun, hangout type of film, in my opinion. This also has a super banging soundtrack filled with a bunch of 80s music. This film is worth a watch at this time of year, and I hope you enjoy my coverage of it!
