Hulu Celebrating 4/20 With Four 20 Minute Documentaries About… You Can Probably Guess

3 hours ago 2

In 2026, April 20th lands on a Monday, which is kind of like when Christmas lands on a Wednesday: not ideal for the traditional festivities. Still, that’s not stopping the folks at Hulu from celebrating 4/20 with some help from Jimmy Kimmel. He’s executive producing 4X20: Quick Hits, an anthology series consisting of four short documentaries focusing on pot culture through a variety of (smoky) angles, including the history of Harold & Kumar and iconic weed publication High Times.

In a statement, Kimmel said “Christmas has a whole cable channel dedicated to holiday programming. For 4/20, we made four 20-minute-long documentaries for those who celebrate with trees of a different kind.”

Here are the episode synopses for the four docs, provided by Hulu:

“Highly Unlikely,” directed by Brent Hodge (“I Am Chris Farley,” “Freaks and Geeks: The Documentary”) recounts how Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle ended up on the big screen. With two unknown Asian American lead actors, this unexpected stoner classic has become synonymous with weed since its release in 2004.
“High Times,” directed by Kyle Thrash (“The Turnaround,” “The Seat”), tells the story of High Times Magazine and its founder, Tom Forcade. Motivated by the Free Press movement, Forcade smuggled cannabis to pay for a magazine that impacted Marijuana culture forever.
“The Legend of Ganjasaurus Rex,” directed by Alex Ross Perry (“Pavements,” “Videoheaven”), celebrates a Humboldt County cult classic film. Made by local pot growers as an act of protest against the War on Drugs, this “comically dreadful” film was panned by critics as “one of the worst movies of all time,” before becoming a beloved local legend.
“Bong Voyage,” directed by Todd Kapostasy (“Rodman: For Better or Worse,” “Meddling”) focuses on Deadhead and hand-blown glass artist Jason Harris. After building the most well-known bong company in the world, the federal government set its sights on Jason and the paraphernalia industry with Operation Pipe Dreams.

In case it needs repeating, 4X20: Quick Hits will premiere on Hulu April 20th — check out the trailer below. Should you need other content to watch on that special day, here’s our list of the best weed movies ever.
