Back in 2020, Tom DeLonge revealed that he'd be directing and doing the music for a feature film, Monsters of California, and at the time he said, "Hope you like blink-era dick jokes, skateboarding culture, UFOs and a few sekrets thrown in." Now, the trailer for the film is here, and it looks like a UFO-based drama, until it ends with one character asking "What was that?" and another replying "It’s classified. I’d tell you, but then I’d have to fuck your dad." So yeah, Tom DeLonge is definitely behind this. Watch the trailer below. Here's the synopsis and more info:
The directorial debut of Tom DeLonge (Blink 182, Angels & Airwaves), Monsters of California follows teenager Dallas Edwards and his misfit friends as they attempt to unearth answers to a series of mysterious, paranormal events happening around Southern California.
