Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie Set for Exclusive Theatrical Release on April 25

Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie will hit theaters nationwide on April 25, with special engagements on April 20, distributor Keep Smokin’ announced Thursday.

Directed by David Bushell and produced by Bushell (Sling Blade, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Dallas Buyers Club) and Robbi Chong, the film features comedy legends Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong, along with Lou Adler. Executive producers include John Paul DeJoria, Gary Haseley, Cleo Segura Sherrel, and Christian Selleron.

The film had its world premiere at SXSW 2024, earning strong critical reception and enthusiastic audience reactions. It also screened at the Mill Valley Film Festival and AFI.

“Last Movie was born out of the failure to make a scripted Cheech & Chong comedy that I was set to produce almost 20 years ago,” Bushell said in a statement. “Cosmically, that wasn’t meant to be, so I took my passion and ambition to direct, coupled it with my love of documentary, and convinced these two road dogs to let me tell their epic story. We are excited to bring this trip of a lifetime to audiences around the country for the definitive retrospective of the lives and careers of this iconic duo.”

Blending documentary with comedy, Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie defies genre expectations, offering an imaginative take on the pair’s legendary career. Featuring a mix of animation, archival footage, interviews, and sketches, the film traces the legacy of Cheech & Chong through five decades of humor, rebellion, and cultural impact. The result is an unexpected tale of friendship, fame, turmoil, and redemption.

MULHOLLAND DRIVE Ending Explained

MULHOLLAND DRIVE is a complex and surreal film directed by David Lynch, known for its non-linear narrative and dreamlike sequences. The ending is open to interpretation and has been the subject of much debate among viewers. Here's a breakdown of the ending: Diane's Dream vs. Reality: Throughout the film, there are two main narrative threads: one follows Betty/Diane's dreamlike experiences in Hollywood, and the other delves into Diane's harsh reality. The ending reveals that the majority of the film has been a dream constructed by Diane Selwyn, a failed actress, as a means to escape the guilt and pain of her actions. Betty/Diane's Descent into Madness: Betty, played by Naomi Watts, represents Diane's idealized self—a hopeful and innocent aspiring actress. However, as the film progresses, it becomes clear that Betty's story is unraveling, and her identity begins to merge with Diane's. This culminates in the revelation that Betty is merely a construct of Di...

4K Blu-ray Review: Drop (2025) — A Tense, Tech-Driven Thriller That Mostly Sticks the Landing

In Drop, director Christopher Landon (Freaky, Happy Death Day) crafts a nerve-wracking thriller centered on a devastating dilemma: would you take a life to save the ones you love? The story follows Violet, a widowed single mom attempting to re-enter the dating world after years of grief and recovery. Played with emotional precision by Meghann Fahy, Violet finds herself on a promising first date with the affable and seemingly genuine Henry (Brandon Sklenar) in an elegant, glass-walled Chicago restaurant. But their evening takes a sinister turn when Violet receives a disturbing message via a sleek, anonymous app called DigiDrop: if she doesn’t kill her date before the check arrives, her son and sister will die. What unfolds is a tightly wound 95-minute thriller that feels both classic and timely. The film builds its suspense through confinement, not action. Most of the story unfolds in real-time at their dinner table, creating a pressure-cooker environment that reflects Violet’s psycholo...
