'4x20 Quick Hits' (2026)
For this year's 4/20, Hulu's got a little reefer madness with4x20 Quick Hits, an anthology series of short documentaries that have one thing in common — almost everyone involved is very passionate about cannabis.Harold & Kumar Go to White Castlefans may especially enjoy the installment that revisits the modern classic stoner film starringJohn Cho,Kal PennandNeil Patrick Harris.
One of the other subjects is a look back at the history ofHigh Times, the pro-cannabis magazine that's been around for decades. The story of how that magazine got started may be well-known in the cannabis culture, but it's likely to be brand-new information for anyone who's been on the outside. It's interesting viewing, but even more so if cannabis is your thing.

'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' (2013)
The firstHunger Gamesfilm didn't putJennifer Lawrenceon the map, but it did cement her as a box-office draw that turned the franchise into a massive hit. That's probably why the original is so fondly remembered, but the second film,The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, is also a top-tier action flick that deserves recognition for expanding the world and paving the way for further sequels and prequels.

The 75 Hunger Games forces most of the living winners to participate, including Katniss and Peeta. This time, they're up against the men and women who won their own Hunger Games, and they don't know who they can trust.
