Special Screenings Of The Weed Eaters To Stretch The Senses

Continuing to light up audiences and critics, THE WEED EATERS has cemented its status as Aotearoa’s latest cinematic cult classic (including recent 4-star reviews in NZ Herald, NZ Listener, and The Post).
Don’t miss the chance to see this dark/dank comic sensation on the big screen where it belongs. A fresh batch of sessions are in cinemas around the country, and today two very special Auckland screenings of THE WEED EATERS have also been announced.
Yes, the film looks glorious in 2D - and some lucky moviegoers saw it in 4D at a recent NZ International Comedy Festival screening - but what about "meat-D" or even "THC-D"?
In a delicious pairing, Mt Eden restaurant Cazador has devised an appropriate pre-movie set menu to enjoy before an upcoming screening on Wednesday May 20th. Described by Denizen as “a carnivore's dream”, Cazador is the perfect setting to enjoy a meaty meal with some of the movie’s cast before watching the film.
Cazador screening -
Wednesday May 20th
Dinner 6pm at Cazador, 854 Dominion
Rd, Mt Eden
Film 8pm at Capitol Cinema, 610 Dominion Rd,

In another appropriate accompaniment, the Whakamana Cannabis Museum is hosting a screening of THE WEED EATERS on Friday May 29th. The museum weaves together cannabis science and lived culture - curating experiences that educate, empower, and build community for medicinal cannabis patients. Their policy at this screening: “Consumption of Medical Cannabis allowed, but no consumption of human flesh please."
