That's right, ladies and gentlemen; this year's 4/20 we are back and more stoked than ever to smoke the ganja with all of you while we delve into classic stoner comedies such as David Gordon Green's 2008 film Pineapple Express, starring the hilariously bromantic duo Seth Rogen and James Franco alongside the ever-comedic Danny McBride!
