Rewind That Scene: Episode 34 – Pootie Tang – Lance Crouther
April 29, 2025

HALF BAKED




Director Tamra Davis (Billy Madison, Dead to Me) comes on the show to relive the making of one of our favorite stoner comedies, Half Baked.


This really paved the way for future weed movies, and Tamra's work always resonated with us from all her early music videos (Depeche Mode, Sonic Youth, NWA).


In 1986 she shot one of the only interviews with her friend Jean-Michel Basquiiat, which went unseen for 20 years, being released in 2006. Tamra is a creative force and so cool to hear what went into this ultimate comedy classic, plus a young Chappelle!
