LOS ANGELES � "Cheech & Chong's Last Movie," which hit theaters last Friday, answers a lot of questions about the stoner comedy duo's career. But it also raises a few big ones along the way. Chief among them, given the title: Is this truly the final silver-screen sesh for the pair, now 78 and 86 respectively? And how, after a contentious creative split four decades ago, did they find themselves reunited for, of all things, a documentary?

I found answers to those questions � and more � at the outdoor table of a Venice cafe earlier this month when I sat down to chat with them in advance of the movie's release. As to the first question, neither of them definitively ruled out another joint venture.
