Drunk Bus in Kent, Ohio, home to Kent State University.
The comedy-drama focuses on Michael (played by Charlie Tahan, best-known for the Netflix series
Ozark), a recent college graduate stuck in Kent, where he drives the campus “drunk bus” in a loop each night, picking up inebriated passengers. Things change for him when he's befriended by a tattoo-faced Samoan-American security guard, Pineapple (Pineapple Tangaroa). The movie co-stars Kara Hayward (
Moonrise Kingdom), comedian Dave Hill and Will Forte (
Saturday Night Live and
The Last Man on Earth).
Written by Chris Molinaro, it’s actually based on LaGanke’s experience of driving the campus bus at Kent State, where Tangaroa was his security detail.
