Tones: darkly comic, humorous
Two hungover friends swear they'll quit, then decide one more night of excess is owed to them. They drink, take drugs, dance alone, and finally crash an all-white summer solstice party with the express purpose of ruining it.

The scouts
A hangover comedy that aims its energy at an all-white party with intent to ruin it. The recovery-arc cliche gets gleefully torched.
A queerer, druggier Tangerine morning-after where the all-white solstice party is the climactic stage — Robinson uses the bender as a costume, not a crutch. Generous with its mess.
Two hungover LA friends crash an all-white solstice party with the express purpose of ruining it — the target is so specific it sells the vibe. Whether it sustains past the bender energy depends on the writing.
