Bo and Wyatt need to pay their bills, but a homeless man is blocking the mailbox. Derringer suggests they build a weapon to take him out of the equation.
Wyatt agrees to help his cousin "take down" the local drug dealer. Bo objects, which causes a riff in their friendship.
Bo and Wyatt are concerned that their friend, Marvin, has fallen too deep into the hipster movement. Derringer advises they confront him head on.
Wyatt agrees to help Amanda, the girl of his dreams, confront her racist neighbor. Derringer convinces Wyatt that going undercover is the only way to help.
Two pot smoking slackers, Bo and Wyatt, are shocked when their favorite TV hero, Derringer PI, becomes their new imaginary friend.

Bo and Wyatt, two unemployed 20-something stoners, spend their lives sitting on the couch watching reruns of their favorite 80s detective show, Derringer PI (think Magnum PI or Miami Vice). Faced with a mountain of overdue bills and back rent, our boys' foggy but overactive imaginations conjure a version of their hero into their living room. Derringer PI takes the slackers under his wing and shows them how to deal with partners in too deep, mafia run amuck, and territorial drug lords. Undercover goes under the influence.

I watched the movie "Slackers" yesterday and remembered how awesome Jason Schwartzman is. lol Did you know that: -the band Cinematic Sunrise covered this song too? -Jason used to be the drummer of the band Phantom Planet? -Jason's brother (Robert) plays in the band "Rooney"? -they are related to Nicolas Cage and the Coppola family? i know that some of those facts are true... as for the others... wikipedia. comment, rate, subscribe if you'd like.
This is from a Moon Ska showcase back in '96. The other bands on that show were The Peacocks (from Switzerland), Step Lively (Long Island), and The Skeletones (CA). The Slackers' set included songs from their first CD, but they also played stuff from other albums that would not be recorded until much later. This was taped on Sunday October 13, 1996. (The Question came out in 1998, and David Hillyard's Playtime was released in 1999.) Here's the playlist: 1. Hillyard St. (David Hillyard & The Rocksteady Seven) 2. Tonight (from Better Late Than Never) 3. P***philia (from Better Late Than Never) 4. Keep Him Away (from The Question) 5. Cooking for Tommy (from Redlight) Enjoy and please comment!

Slackers crawled out of the woodwork in Ann Arbor, Michigan for the world premiere of Michael Moore's 'Slacker Uprising' at the historic Michigan Theater. A good luck charm since the unveiling of 'Bowling for Columbine.'
