There are three types of movies about men going out into nature. In the first, one rugged man, usually wearing a bear, heads into the woods never to return. In the second, two or more men go into the woods and come back forever changed by an unspeakable horror. In the third, two or more men head for a lush, green landscape to learn lessons about friendship, manhood, and how sometimes the trail isn’t worth finishing because Nick Nolte is really getting annoying. In the days leading up to Christmas, Dave Chappelle and Pete Davidson experienced what we can only hope was the third type of outdoor adventure, minus Nick Nolte.
After Davidson’s troubling Instagram posts earlier in December, Chappelle, who knows Davidson from the comedy circuit, invited the 25-year-old SNL star to his house in the Ohio woods. While Davidson was seen at a Machine Gun Kelly concert in Cleveland on the 22 and Chappelle went to Kim and Kanye’s Christmas Eve party, I hope the two of them had plenty of time to talk things through in the forest. Also, I’d watch a film adaptation of whatever transpired out there.
