But it also raises a few big ones along the way, chief among them, given the title: is this truly the final silver-screen session for the pair, now 78 and 86 respectively? And how, after a contentious creative split four decades ago, did they find themselves reunited for, of all things, a documentary?
'It's [actually] the next-to-the-last movie, but that doesn't sound right,' quips Richard 'Cheech' Marin with a slight shrug and a wan chuckle. 'You never know.'
'God only knows,' Tommy Chong says. 'It all depends on the script. Everything depends on the script.'

Hong Kong's Kai Tak Stadium publishes seating chart, but is it enough to address concerns?
Hong Kong's Kai Tak Stadium has published a seating chart after concertgoers complained about obstructed views, with lawmakers calling for more transparency for a better audience experience at the newly opened 50,000-seat facility. Advertisement Fans who forked out large sums of money for tickets close to the stage at concerts of British band Coldplay earlier this month and Cantopop star Nicholas Tse Ting-fung, which began on Thursday, said seating arrangements needed to be more transparent. 'It would be best if tickets for seats with obstructed views were not put up for sale,' lawmaker Johnny Ng Kit-chong, who sits on the Legislative Council's culture panel, said on Friday. '[Selling them] is good for neither the performers nor the audience. The most important thing is the protection of consumers. They did not expect the tickets they bought would have obstructed views.' He also said that if such tickets had to be sold, they should be cheaper and a 'prerequisite' that obstructions were clearly stated. Advertisement Ng cited his own experience at one of Coldplay's concerts. He said that while his seat was free of obstructions, it was far from the stage and the screens of the live relay were small, noting that having larger ones could help.

Savour the mastery of Cantonese cuisine with a modern twist
[The content of this article has been produced by our advertising partner.] For those who relish a meal that is more than just sustenance, Palace Garden offers a culinary experience that bridges time, bringing the imperial flavours of the Qing Dynasty to the present with an artful and modern twist. Led by Head Chef Ken Chong, a disciple of the revered Taishi culinary tradition, Palace Garden's menu is anchored in a reverence for Cantonese haute cuisine. Chef Chong's expertise has been honed through years spent under the guidance of Taishi cuisine master Lai Yau-tim. Now, with nearly two-decades of experience, he reimagines Cantonese dishes with fresh energy and creative verve that Macau's global dining scene demands. One of the most renowned Taishi dishes, Five Snake Bisque, has been reimagined by Chef Chong, who has substituted partridge for snake to make the dish more versatile and suitable for enjoyment year-round. The silkily luxurious bisque, enriched with fish maw, 15-year-aged tangerine peel and shiitake mushrooms, garnished with Japanese chrysanthemum and coriander, offers a harmonious depth of flavours. Chong's cuisine emphasises balance, using spices to enhance rather than overwhelm.
