Stream itif you enjoy loud, chaotic mockumentaries that find heart within the mess of stoner culture.

A cult-favorite mockumentary that celebrates stoner culture and aimless friendship with a very specific, dry Canadian wit. It is messy, loud, and intentionally crude, designed for a niche audience that finds charm in the ridiculous.

What it is about

Terry and Dean are lifelong friends who have grown-up together: shotgunning their first beers, forming their first garage band, and growing the great Canadian mullet known as "hockey hair". Now the lives of these Alberta everymen are brought to the big screen by documentarian Ferral Mitchener in an exploration of the depths of friendship, the fragility of life, growing up gracefully and the art and science of drinking beer like a man.

What Fubar is like, and who it is for

What it is like to watch

Watching this is an exercise in chaotic, fly-on-the-wall absurdity. The pace is frantic and the tone is aggressively unrefined, capturing the aimless energy of two metalheads who have never quite left their teenage years behind. It feels like a grainy, handheld home movie that has been hijacked by loud music and the sound of cracking beer cans, moving between slapstick stupidity and moments of surprising mundanity.

Who it is for, and who should skip it

This is perfect for viewers who appreciate the low-budget, DIY aesthetic of early 2000s cult comedies and the specific flavour of Western Canadian grit. If you dislike crude humour or characters who refuse to grow up, this will likely grate on your nerves. Be warned: the dialogue is thick with regional slang and intentional incoherence, which can be exhausting if you aren't in the right headspace.

The right evening for it

It suits a rowdy, low-stakes evening where you want something short, loud, and unapologetically ridiculous to watch with a drink in hand.
