Yellowstone<\/a><\/em> was one of the biggest shows during its five-season run, and chances are that you\u2019ve seen its stars elsewhere. Led by Kevin Costner\u2019s John Dutton, Taylor Sheridan\u2019s hit series<\/a> transformed its ensemble cast into household names and featured familiar faces from cinema. Fans of the show hoping to see a familiar face can now stream a Yellowstone<\/em> star\u2019s cult classic comedy after it started streaming on Peacock<\/a>.
Fans best know him as Rip Wheeler on Yellowstone<\/em>, but decades before Cole Hauser<\/a> stepped into the shoes of the fan-favorite character, he portrayed high school jock Benny O’Donnell in Richard Linklater’s iconic coming-of-age movie Dazed and Confused<\/em>. The comedy classic, also starring Matthew McConaughey, Ben Affleck, and Ren\u00e9e Zellweger, started streaming on Peacock on April 1st<\/a>. For those who need a refresher, Dazed and Confused<\/em> is set on the last day of school in May 1976 in small-town Texas as a group of Texas teenagers navigate hazing rituals, house parties, and uncertain futures, all while celebrating the beginning of summer.
There have been tons of great teen comedies over the years, and there\u2019s no doubt that Dazed and Confused <\/em>is one of the best. Rather than a sanitized, nostalgic look back, Linklater aimed for an incredibly authentic depiction of 1970s high school life, focusing on all of the real and all too relatable emotions of adolescence, including angst, anticipation, and boredom, and the social rituals that go along with high school life. It’s a teen film that feels genuine, and it nails everything from the raw, heartfelt, and humorous experience of the last day of school to some pretty realistic dialogue. It\u2019s also a pretty great time capsule of the 1970s atmosphere, with classic rock, muscle cars, and fashion that feels true to the era.
Although the film was a box office disappointment, grossing just $8 million during its theatrical run, the movie performed well with viewers. Dazed and Confused<\/em> holds a \u201cCertified Fresh\u201d 94% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> and a great 90% audience rating. The film\u2019s authentic, hangout movie style that captured a consequence-free slice of 1976 high school life, great cast, and iconic quotes helped Dazed and Confused<\/em> become a cult classic. Although it never got a direct sequel, it did earn a spiritual sequel in Linklater\u2019s 2016 movie Everybody Wants Some!!<\/em>. Which is available on Pluto TV.
As Peacock begins adding titles in May<\/a>, it\u2019s worth looking back on the additions that rolled out throughout April. The month was a great one for the NBCUniversal streamer\u2019s catalog as movies like the Blade<\/em> trilogy, both Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s<\/em> movies, and Dead Poets Society<\/em> joined the platform. On the comedy front, Peacock also added movies like Airplane!<\/em>, The 40 Year-Old Virgin<\/em>, Crocodile Dundee<\/em>, A Fish Called Wanda<\/em>, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle<\/em>, Road Trip<\/em>, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut<\/em>, and Step Brothers<\/em>.
