A look inside the new Cheech and Chong documentary
The Cheech and Chong documentary explores their early beginnings before their fame and cannabis comedy. It highlights Chong’s time as an R&B musician and Cheech’s background in art and pottery, showcasing how their unique paths led to an unforgettable comedic partnership. It also explores their rise to stardom, complete with behind-the-scenes stories and archival footage from their biggest hits.
Fans will be treated to interviews, stand-up classics, and an honest look at their split and reunion. With appearances from collaborators and industry friends, the documentary paints a full picture of their influence on comedy and pop culture. While it is a tribute, it is also a celebration of rebellion, friendship, and aging with style.
Celebrating legacy and laughter on 4/20
Releasing the film on April 20th is not a coincidence because 4/20 has been the face of cannabis culture, and there’s arguably no duo more representative of that than Cheech and Chong. The date is also festive, with fans worldwide celebrating their beloved counterculture icons on this unofficial holiday.
In their signature wit and humility, Cheech and Chong stay true to themselves and to their old and new fans. A long-time fan or a new one at heart, Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie delivers laughter, heritage, and a nicely rolled sojourn down memory lane.
