The Prime Video original film “Ricky Stanicky” is reminiscent of early 2010s comedies’ unique flavor of crude and over-the-top humor that is delivered in a delightfully good-natured manner.
The plot is relatively simple. Three childhood best friends Dean, JT and Wes, Played by Zac Efron, Andrew Santino and Jermaine Fowler, fabricate Ricky Stannicky to get out of trouble for a prank gone wrong as kids. However, this turns out to be a lifelong get-out-of-jail-free card for the trio as they continue to use the excuse of Ricky for years to come, even going as far as to get out of JT’s baby shower.
The film walks the fine line of absurd humor without ever crossing it and manages to leave the viewer with a heartfelt message about second chances and that the only way out of something is in. That alone makes it worth the watch.

On Wednesday, Feb. 14, California State Senator Bill Dodd introduced Senate Bill 1166, which aims to strengthen Title IX on UC, CSU and community college campuses.
Title IX was first implemented in 1972, and aims to protect individuals from sex-based discrimination in educational institutions that receive funding from the federal government. The California State Auditor’s 2023 report found “various problems with campuses’ handling of cases” across the California State University campuses.
SB 1166 works in conjunction with SB 808, another 2023 bill sponsored by Sen. Dodd. SB 808 requires the CSU to report to the Legislature any Title IX-related investigations, formal complaints and outcomes of sexual harassment reports.
