"Cheech & Chong's Last Movie," a documentary about the stoner comedians, premiered last week. Here's the Hollywood Reporter's review of the movie, which covers how the two met in the 1970s in Vancouver, rose to fame, hit their cinematic nadir, and what happened next. “So, is this a documentary or a movie?” asks Chong at one point. “I don’t know, man,” Cheech replies.
Yesterday, while I lay in bed exhausted by malfunctioning guts, I further punished myself by watching the movie Yellowbeard on Tubi. I wanted to see it because it featured a couple of the Monty Python crew as well as Cheech and Chong, but holy shit, is it ever terrible. The acting itself wasn’t bad, but there wasn’t a single funny joke in the entire show. I didn’t crack a smile even once. Rape jokes were a running gag throughout the film. I have to wonder about the female actors in the film. What incredibly awful roles they had. I guess it was a paycheque for them, at least. The only female character who wasn’t the subject of rape jokes was a little girl of about seven, and the big joke about her was when she got kicked into a pile of trash in an alley. Just wow. #Yellowbeard#Rape#RapeCulture#MontyPython#movies#CheechAndChong
