Ruth’s Alternative Caring is re-opening its doors. A trailer for Part 2 of the marijuana dispensary comedy “Disjointed” has dropped and promises plenty of new cannabis-fueled shenanigans for Ruth (Kathy Bates) and her co-workers — as well as some social commentary.
“I’m getting back to my roots. The whole planet’s gone to hell. I’m pissed off,” longtime legalization advocate Ruth announces. Now that she’s achieved her dream of opening a legit pot business, she’s ready to dive into other causes. According to a list seen in the clip, “Polar Ice Caps/Ice Caps in General” and “Protestant Reformation (Too Late?)” are among the topics she’s most passionate about.
But it’s not like Ruth could ever forget her first love. The trailer also teases one mother of a 420 celebration, complete with singing, dancing, and cannabis leaf-patterned umbrellas. “You don’t have the balls to be this high,” Ruth tells (or possibly challenges) her cohorts.
Created by David Javerbaum (“The Daily Show”) and Chuck Lorre (“Mom”), “Disjointed’s” cast includes Nicole Sullivan (“Black-ish”), Elizabeth Ho (“Life Partners”), and Betsy Sodaro (“Clipped”). Part 2 hits Netflix January 12.
