Raunchy, coming-of-age comedy The Marshmallow Experiment, starring Sam McCarthy as an online porn addict, starts shooting in Vancouver.
The Marshmallow Experiment is the story of a young internet-addicted teen(Sam McCarthy) who, after bombing in bed with his dream girl, embarks on a wild, cringe-filled journey of digital detox. With influencer parents, rogue AI avatars and a talking gorilla as his guide, The Marshmallow Experiment tackles intimacy, identity and growing up unplugged — in the most online way possible.
