This article contains spoilers for all seven episodes of Slip.
Zoe Lister-Jones’ seven-part series Slip on Roku Channel opens with a pretty average status quo before things take a wild turn. Mae (Lister-Jones) is an art curator at a local museum and is happily married to her gentle husband Elijah (Whitmer Thomas). Well, sort of. She’s a little bored in their marriage that seems to run on an underwhelmingly repetitious cycle every day — making the couple more and more distant.
However, the plot takes a universe-bending turn after Mae goes out to drink after a successful art exhibition that celebrates Buddhist cosmology and its other-worldly creature, the Hungry Ghost. Her best friend Gina (Tymika Tafari) tags along as they go to a local bar across the street (although she’s busy trying to seduce a monk who attended the exhibit), where Mae hooks up with an attractive musician called...

"I'm being transported to other dimensions every time I orgasm." Roku has revealed the official trailer for an upcoming mini-series titled Slip, the latest creation from actress / director Zoe Lister-Jones.

For moviegoers accustomed to stoner-dude protagonists, “The Marijuana Conspiracy” offers a nice change. The Canadian drama, set in 1972, is full of Mary Janes. Okay, really just one Mary and one Jane. But they’re joined by other young women who answer a call to participate in a research project. For 98 days, Mary, Janice, Jane, Mourinda and Marissa will be able — more like required — to smoke dope. And they get to imbibe without fear of the fuzz.
Writer-director Craig Pryce adapted the true story of research the Addiction Research Foundation undertook when Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau began considering the decriminalization of recreational cannabis. (Hint: They were not for it.) It was dubbed “Project Marijuana,” but Pryce has renamed it the friskier sounding “Project Venus.”
“The Marijuana Project,” available on demand 4/20 (wink wink), is a mildly buzzy hybrid that swings from serious to light and back again. If the category is dope movies,...

"These women know what they signed up for..." Samuel Goldwyn Films has released an official trailer for an indie feature titled The Marijuana Conspiracy, based on a remarkably true story. This entertaining & informative film took place in 1972. It's about an outlandish study on the effects of marijuana on young women. This film centers around five young women who shared a common goal: to make some money and have a fresh start in life. They must endure isolated captivity in a true 98-day human experiment, but as the tagline states, "they had no one to protect them but each other." Oddly, the final results have never been released. The film stars Julia Sarah Stone, Morgan Kohan, Brittany Bristow, Tymika Tafari, and Kyla Young. It's being released on VOD on 4/20 (of course!) this spring. Inspired by Doreen Brown, one of the real life women whom the film is based upon. Years after the experiment ended,...
