"Netflix By Bots" Returns With 4/20-Themed Stoner Flick

Netflix is again poking fun at its reputation for programming by algorithm today with the release of a fake trailer for another "mathematically perfect" film written by robots, this time inspired by the likes of Cheech and Chong, Bill and Ted and Harold & Kumar.

Like the streamer's Christmas movie-inspired Carol's Christmas Carol for Carol, A Woman Named Carol, Cheese and Chonk Smoke a City Safe tells the "absolutely logical" story of two stoners who "smoke buds in a couch and watch TV's face." 

Aaron Barnhart has written about television since 1994, including 15 years as TV critic for the Kansas City Star.
