Are there any characters you can think of in films that are similar to Mike in this doc?
Be interested in seeing.
I just saw this at Hot Docs.
The first person I thought of was Silent Bob.
I wonder what Kevin Smith thinks of this film!

Not a movie, but Leo from That 70s Show is pretty similar, as is Jim Ignatowski from Taxi. Both have apparently taken so much drugs that they are permanently stoned.
My theory on Mike is that the time he overdosed on PCP and was technically dead for a minute or so lead to some mild brain damage.
And there's no way Kevin Smith does not love this film, if he's seen it. It just seems to have everything he would like.
