Chance the Rapper and Zazie Beetz assemble a ragtag Scooby gang to defend their local hang-out.
Is there a watering hole in your neighborhood that you would defend against Satan? Buffy was always quick to stake a vampire that dared to cross the threshold of The Bronze. The Happy Days crew were eager to slay devilish property developers eyeing the land underneath Arnold’s Drive-In. Even the Saved By The Bell kids protected The Max from disappearing into the continuity void when The New Class relaunched. Hang-outs are characters themselves and are as much a part of the gang as the humans that populate them.
A24 understands the power these locales hold over their citizenry. When they heard that writer/director Austin Vesely and Chance the Rapper were cooking up a hard-R comedy horror that centered around a pizza shop constructed atop a gateway to hell, they knew this was an epic fight against evil they had to back. Slice looks to be an absurd romp for folks raised on Scooby Doo and Peter Jackson.
Attempting to explain the plot is pointless. Let the trailer do the hard work.
