Lovely But Deadly (1x316)

Air date: Mar 27, 2020

Lovely But Deadly starts off fairly straightforward: a logger suffers an accident in Idaho so he sends his son to live with his wealthy aunt in California, where he succumbs to the temptation of drugs and swims into the ocean in search of a tuna, causing his sister to also move from Idaho and enroll in his high school to get revenge on the drug dealer by shoving his mouth full of homemade drugs at the prom, which does not kill him but somehow causes him to hang himself once he gets to the hospital. From there it gets kinda weird. For example, there’s Javelin, the teenage coffeehouse troubadour who is also a worldwide shipping magnate. There’s also George’s boss from Seinfeld acting all horny, a boat chase involving colorful dinghies, and a dude named Gomorrah. All in all, it’s your standard 80s high school drug movie made by people who have never heard of high school, drugs, or the 80s. Please join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for Lovely But Deadly!
