Hulu is celebrating 420 this year with four 20-minute documentaries. Jimmy Kimmel is executive producing the 4X20: Quick Hits, a series focusing on pot culture through a variety of different angles, including the history of Harold & Kumar and High Times. You will see appearances from John Cho, Kal Penn, Neil Patrick Harris and Tommy Chong.
Here what the episodes will look like :
- “Highly Unlikely,” directed by Brent Hodge (“I Am Chris Farley,” “Freaks and Geeks: The Documentary”) recounts how Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle ended up on the big screen. With two unknown Asian American lead actors, this unexpected stoner classic has become synonymous with weed since its release in 2004.
- “High Times,” directed by Kyle Thrash (“The Turnaround,” “The Seat”), tells the story of High Times Magazine and its founder, Tom Forcade. Motivated by the Free Press movement, Forcade smuggled cannabis to pay for a magazine that impacted Marijuana culture forever.
- “The Legend of Ganjasaurus Rex,” directed by Alex Ross Perry (“Pavements,” “Videoheaven”), celebrates a Humboldt County cult classic film. Made by local pot growers as an act of protest against the War on Drugs, this “comically dreadful” film was panned by critics as “one of the worst movies of all time,” before becoming a beloved local legend.
- “Bong Voyage,” directed by Todd Kapostasy (“Rodman: For Better or Worse,” “Meddling”) focuses on Deadhead and hand-blown glass artist Jason Harris. After building the most well-known bong company in the world, the federal government set its sights on Jason and the paraphernalia industry with Operation Pipe Dreams.
These documentaries will premiere on Hulu on April 20th, check out the trailer below.
