Overview

• The documentary explores the creative and personal conflicts that led to Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong's split in 1985 after their sixth film together.
• Central to their rift was a dispute over directing credits, with Chong claiming sole director status on four of their six films, a point Marin contests in the film.
• In candid present-day exchanges, Marin accuses Chong of overstating his directing role, while Chong asserts he was the star of all their movies.
• Archival footage and interviews highlight the duo's contrasting perspectives, including Marin describing Chong's ego as disproportionate to his talent.
• The film, directed by David Bushell, premiered at SXSW in 2024 and has now begun its limited theatrical release across the U.S.
