Riot Fest changed the festival game this year in a big way; it’s been the fest’s largest number of one-off reunion acts ever. With The Prodigy, Ice Cube & Special Guests covering Straight Outta Compton, Snoop Dogg playing Doggystyle, The Academy Is… playing Almost Here, The Ataris playing Blue Skies and Broken Hearts...Next 12 Exits, L7, The Movielife, Modern Life is War playing Witness, Alexisonfire, Rancid playing ...And Out Come The Wolves and (probably) more, the air this year was nostalgic to say the least.
[Video] Seth Rogen and Snoop Dogg Talk Weed
Everybody who's seen Pineapple Express remembers the mythical cross joint, a quadrupled-ending joint that brings in twice the weed with every pull. It all seemed like movie magic, right? Apparently not, as Seth Rogen joined Snoop Dogg on the rapper's GGN program to discuss the origins of the cross joint, his career, and more. They also talk about Rogen's latest film, Neighbors, which I've already referred to as the funniest film of the year, his upcoming comedy The Interview with James Franco, and the R-rated CGI-animated comedy, Sausage Party.
Of course, it wouldn't be an installment of GGN without an insane amount of weed being smoked and a weather lady upping the sex factor bogged down by Rogen and Snoop, right? One of my personal highlights from the episode is the etymological history of the term "chronic" and where it came from. You can just see the intrigue in Rogen's eyes as Snoop elaborates on hydroponic marijuana.

Craig Robinson: "Take Yo Panties Off" (feat. Snoop Dogg)
Early screening reports for This is the End have been overwhelmingly positive, and as one of my Top 10 Summer Movies, I'm super excited to hear that about the film. Today, the only original song from the Seth Rogen (Superbad) and Evan Goldberg (Superbad) directorial debut film was released. "Take Yo Panties Off" has Craig Robinson singing R&B-inspired verses for the ladies to be freed of their undergarments with Snoop Dogg delivering a feature verse as well. Fans of The Office know that Robinson, a Chicago native, isn't a stranger to musical ventures as his character on the show was prone to delivering jingles on a various amount of instruments.
You can listen to "Take To Panties Off" below and also check out the character posters for each main character in the film. This is the End will end the wait for its theatrical release on June 14th.
