“We were around Barstow on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold”. This iconic line spoken by Raoul Duke in Hunter S. Thompson’s groundbreaking novel sets the reader off for an adventure that they won’t ever forget. With its strong use of psychedelic imagery and journalistic approach. Hunter makes us a third party to the antics that both Mr. Duke and his Attorney, Dr Gonzo get involved with. In this episode, Donnie and The Vern dive into Hunter S. Thompson’s chaotic world through the lens of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Adapted to the big screen by Terry Giliam and starring Johnny Depp as Raoul Duke and Benicio Del Toro as Dr. Gonzo.
