Growing Belushi
I’m kind of in love with even just the basic concept of Growing Belushi. Apparently Jim Belushi has decided he wants to get into the cannabis business, because why not? In this second episode of the show he goes to Idaho to star in a Blues Brothers show with Dan Aykroyd. While there, he asks for permission to use the Blues Brothers brand name on a product, which of course ends up leading him to Columbia so he can score some “elusive cannabis strains.”

Full Frontal With Samantha Bee
Just in time for the Democratic National Convention, Full Frontal With Samantha Bee started airing new episodes last week and this week we've got the RNC to pay attention to. Tonight’s new episode is likely to include some political commentary as well as a look at some of the other major issues impacting our country right now. Because laughing at it all makes it all just a little less terrifying.
