‘Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie,’ ‘The Wedding Banquet,’ Pulp top EW’s Must List

I’ve always been unabashed about my love for the 9-1-1 shows, so I hope you will understand the brevity of this editor’s letter as I need time to grieve after last night’s episode. I won’t spoil it here in case you need to catch up, but know that I’m not too proud to admit I was crying in the office watching the final moments play out. —Patrick Gomez, Editor-in-Chief

“Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie”

Hey, man, looking for the perfect way to celebrate 420? Grab your best bud and enjoy iconic stoner duo Cheech & Chong reuniting for one last movie. More than a decade since their last joint collaboration, Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong join forces again in this road trip comedy-documentary. The Up in Smoke costars share the highs and lows of their decades-long partnership, including what sparked years of turmoil before their eventual reconnection. Just make sure to hit up concessions first; we’ve got a feeling this will give you the munchies. —Jillian Sederholm, News Director

“The Wedding Banquet”

Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, and Han Gi-chan orchestrate a green card marital sham in director Andrew Ahn’s triumphant remake, which breathes new life into the themes of chosen family and identity established in Ang Lee’s 1993 cult classic.  —Jessica Wang, Staff Writer

“Irishtown”

Kate Burton and Derry Girls star Saoirse-Monica Jackson are hilarious in this new comedy — staged at the Irish Rep in NYC — that lovingly skewers all the alcohol, incest, and death (so much death!) typically present in plays about the Emerald Isle. No luck needed for these laughs. —Dalton Ross, Editorial Director

“Spike Island” by Pulp

The Britpop pioneers’ lead single from their first album in 24 years offers everything you’d want from a Pulp song: a shuffling disco beat, a dash of spoken word, and ever-stylish frontman Jarvis Cocker delivering winking lyrics about the fleetingness of fame. Consider us chuffed. —Jason Lamphier, Senior Editor

“The Eights”

Author Joanna Miller’s latest offers a refreshing, gripping portrait of Oxford in an era of great change. Four women — the school’s first female students — forge unexpected friendships, confront rife misogyny, cling tightly to their secrets, and attempt escaping the ghosts of World War I. —Maureen Lee Lenker, Senior Writer
