In specific, we choose our picks based on how they can enhance your combined consumption of cannabis and entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>This week, <em>Blindspotting<\/em> shines bright lights on the dark corners of gentrification; Denzel does what Denzel does so well (again) in <em>The Equalizer 2<\/em>; David Spade and Nat Faxon deliriously duke it out as dunce dads in <em>Father of the Year<\/em>; the photo book <em>Artivism<\/em> elevates through electrifying imagery; Buddy busts out his long-playing rap debut; and a batch of crazed cult flicks built for smoking to &#x2014; including the psychedelic spaghetti western <em>Sartana<\/em> series &#x2014; come out in collector&apos;s editions.

The plot chronicles convicted felon Collin (Diggs) just trying to get through his final three days of probation while his hothead best bud Miles (Casal) continually invites trouble &#x2014; the exact type of trouble that could send Collin back to the pen.<\/p>\n<p>Music video director Carlos L&#xF3;pez Estrada helms the action with hip-hop energy, and the two leads deliver star-is-born moments both in terms of their performances and their script. Roll a fattie and torch up in celebration of this dynamic new team that, in a very real way, gets where <em>Blindspotting<\/em>&apos;s audience is coming from.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HyNJ3UrGk_I\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>&quot;The Equalizer 2&quot; (2018)<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>Director: Richard Wenk<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>Cast: Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal, Melissa Leo<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Denzel returns as ex-CIA problem-solver-for-hire John McCall in <em>The Equalizer 2<\/em> to throw down and look dope while doing it like only he can &#x2014; especially when he&apos;s in the high-style hands of filmmaker Anton Fuqua, who directed Denzel in the first one (as well as <em>The Magnificent Seven<\/em> and, of course, <em>Training Day<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>For this go-round, the globetrotting McCall makes his way from Boston to Istanbul to hunt down the killer &#x2014; or killers &#x2014; of his best friend. That sounds like ideally intoxicating IMAX overkill to us.
