is there really a big audience for a sublime movie? either way, riverdale cast stays impressively employed, which doesn't usually happen with long running broadcast teen show casts. good for them.

This was me. I was too young (slightly) for Sublime. I got into proper music in 97/98 (I wasn't listening to popular music until around 13) and iirc he was already dead.

I didn't know there was some sort of revival of them.

However, I still love Lana's cover

maybe? in my experience, sublime is a weirdly unifying band in that most people like at least a couple of their songs

sublime is an incredibly beloved band among at least millennials and gen x!

I think maybe the Coachella performance from this year (with his son as the new frontman) got people in their nostalgia bag and so demand just came up? idk but i'll check it out if it looks good enough

I'll check it out if it gets made. Seems good that the band, his widow and son are on board.

seems like with everyone on board, this could be interesting
