Smoke, Sweat, and Salvation at the New Orleans Jazz Fest

The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival hit like a fever dream—blazing heat, blunt smoke, and a human tidal wave of sunburns and sound. Between bad covers, hybrid spritzers, and Revivalist-induced nausea, survival became the mission. Then Dave Matthews hit the stage, and the crowd cracked wide open. What followed was funk, fatigue, and chaos you don’t walk away clean from.

Cheech and Chong’s Last Movie Review: Brotherly Love, Bullsh*t, and the Long Strange Trip Home

A colorful movie poster for “Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie.” The artwork shows Tommy Chong and Cheech Marin sitting in a classic car, smiling and laughing as Chong holds a snack bag. A large silver cannabis leaf hood ornament is centered on the car. The sky is pastel with palm trees, desert hills, and a woman in the background. Text at the top reads “Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong – Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie.” At the bottom: “Exclusively in theaters April 25. Bring a bud & see it first on 4/20!” The license plate reads “KPSMOKN.”

Cheech and Chong’s Last Movie isn’t a stoner flick, it’s a raw, trippy confessional from two counterculture icons who shaped comedy and cannabis forever. With Dave Bushell behind the camera, the film blends archival chaos, animation, and unresolved tension into a story about brotherhood, pain, and legacy. It's not just a documentary. It’s an honest trip home.
