History

Historical Context

In 1998 the Coen brothers released The Big Lebowski, a cult slacker comedy whose eclectic soundtrack debuted on February 24, 1998, and gained a devoted following. That cult popularity proved slacker humor could attract viewers, and in 2026 Dylan Meyer’s female-led film Wrong Girls, starring Kristen Stewart and Alia Shawkat, continues the trend with drug-fueled mishaps for a new audience.
