Detention of the Dead with Justin Chon

Detention of the Dead with Justin Chon

In the indie film “Detention of the Dead”, comedy and horror unite in this “The Breakfast Club” meets “Shaun of the Dead” tale about a group of oddball high school students who find themselves trapped in detention with their classmates having turned into a horde of Zombies. Can they put their differences aside and work together to survive the night? Fat chance! This is High School after all.

When there’s no room left in Hell, the Dead go to Detention!

In the film , Justin Chon plays Ash, an edgy stoner punk who spent the bulk of this high school years getting high, thinking about getting high, or occasionally passing out after getting high. Zipping around school on his customized motorized longboard, Ash provides much of the student body with pills and weed, including selling school jock Jimmy over the counter drug which he passes off as steroids. Ash keeps remarkably ebullient as he’s pinned down in detention with zombies closing in on his fellow classmates.

He’s The One by Honey Cocaine

He's The One by Honey Cocaine

Rapper Honey Cocaine dropped her latest track “He’s The One.” She keeps it real as she reflects on life and her late friend/hip hop comedian Freddy E, who died of an apparent suicide. In a recent interview, she stated “He was just a character, everybody loved him, he was always happy, funny, always making jokes and just living life. Real confident, he was just a good person.” Honey Cocaine spoke about her friendship with Freddy E, “I had a show in Seattle and he was there, so that’s when I met him. He was a fan who became a supporter, who became a friend.” She further clarified that they never dated, “I made it clear and he respected that, he never forced it. We were friends and we had an understanding and we were always there for each other as friends.” She gave her condolences to him by stating, “He was a good friend to everyone and I know that because I met his friends and you know what he was the person that you can depend on, he was a good guy, he had a genuine heart. He was talented and he just knew how to make people smile and in this world that smile means everything.”

She concludes by urging people who have problems to connect with others, “If you have a problem, there are people who care about you. At moments when you’re weak, talk to somebody. There’s people who care about you. Talk to God, talk to whoever you believe in. Talk to your friends, your parents, your siblings, anyone. Professionally, it doesn’t matter, because when you have problems, you don’t have to deal with it by yourself…These battles don’t have to be fought alone, especially when you’re young and you feel helpless and hopeless. There’s hope, there’s a light.”
