Mac clearly values his alone time with Devin, and gets irritable when it’s interrupted. On this fantasy planet, the two are alone and no one is there to kill their vibe, especially not any girls. “I want us to go to another planet called…Pimpeteria” says Mac, “and once we go there, let me tell you how I would address this bitch.” Mac proceeds to tell Devin’s girlfriend off by basically saying “bye bitch!” We can conclude that in Mac’s ideal world, he and Devin live together on another planet.
SLOW BURN FROM MAC AND DEVIN HOW TO
Mac knows just how to deal with the situation. The philosophy is held dearly by all the main characters in the film, particularly Snoop Dogg.ĭuring a scene when Mac and Devin are getting high off Novocain, Devin’s overbearing girlfriend or, referred to by Mac as “the bitch”, calls Devin’s phone. But Slow Burn isn’t the only character with these views. His hatred for women and love for the bros makes a perfect night for him chilling with his homies and getting high, a concept which, in our society is not only emasculating, but also suspiciously homoerotic. Slow Burn likes to present his ideas simply as misogyny, a way to prove his masculinity. In other words, if you have a girlfriend or are dating girls, Slow Burn wants nothing to do with you. “If you have a controlling bitch in your life, get the fuck out now!” Slow Burn orders. Slow Burn wants to make sure that it’s only dudes in the room together because to him, women are nothing but “controlling bitches”. Things start to get more fishy when Slow Burn orders all females to leave the theatre or wherever it is the film is being watched (which is most likely on the iPad of a 15 year old white boy). Slow Burn’s physical presence only enhances the homoeroticism found more explicitly in the plot and specific dialogue in the film. While a phallic symbol alone isn’t inherently homoerotic, it is certainly not something you would expect to see in a film starring Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg. You’d have to be pretty high for it to slip past you, but then again, Slow Burn makes it very clear in the beginning of the film that it’s a “weed movie” and viewers should engage in appropriate preparation to watch the movie. If the clear physical resemblance of a penis isn’t enough to attract the viewers attention, then the fact that Slow Burn is bouncing up and down in a sexual manner has to be. But then it became undeniable in one of the cut scenes featuring Slow Burn. I know that may initially seem like a stretch, I didn’t want to believe it myself - Wiz and Snoop would never! I thought. Slow Burn, the friendly and pedantic talking joint instantly presents himself as a clear phallic symbol. The film is the classic story of stoner deadbeat, Mac, meets class valedictorian, Devin, and teaches him how to be “young, wild, and free.” With help from the movie’s “tour guide,” Slow Burn, we learn about life, love, and weed, but mostly weed. The film is a testament of the fact that when misogyny is taken to ludicrous extremes, it transcends its assertive masculinity and becomes a rejection of women entirely more notably, it becomes the embracement of men. As the film progresses, however, the subtext of this scene becomes more clear Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa have successfully written, whether it intentionally or not, an explicitly homoerotic film. The best part about the opening line is that it’s said by an animated hominid joint named “Slow Burn.” Its really quite beautiful how succinctly that line reveals everything one should expect from the film misogyny, kitsch, and, of course, marijuana. “Man this girl’s trying to fuck up my day!” That’s the first line of Dylan Brown’s Mac and Devin go to High School, starring Wiz Khalifa as Devin and Snoop Dogg as Mac.
