Episode 163: The Stuff (1985)

ANTHONY'S BIRTHDAY MONTH HAS ARRIVED! We're kicking off our annual month long celebration of the fun, the gruesome, and the WEIRD that you know and love from our birthday mandated episodes with 1985's THE STUFF.

The team takes a DEEP dive into the 1980's and the rise of consumer culture, complete with the Reagan Revolution and how values/paranoia from the 50's made its way to the mainstream decades later. It's in this environment that legendary filmmaker Larry Cohen makes his rise, as well as horror in general, becoming something of a counter culture to American's branding of "traditional values."

Don't worry, we have a deep play by play for this ABSURD and DELIGHTFUL movie that's full of ridiculous effects, over the top performances, and sharp political commentary. In short, Larry Cohen is a genius. More weird stuff is on the way, so LISTEN TODAY!
