When Comedy Central scheduled this 2008 film, it was, at best, an attempt to tie in with a holiday release of a new comedy starring the same two actors. But now, presenting Pineapple Express the day after the defiant, First Amendment-embracing release of the controversial The Interview seems positively prescient. Both comedies star Seth Rogen and James Franco – so if you watch this pothead comedy, keep in mind that it features the same guys at the center of one of the most fascinating international media cases of the modern era.
