Thanksgorging Week 2 - The Stuff (1985)

Happy Week 2 of our Thanksgorging month here on Slashers Podcast. We’re continuing our theme of nasty gorging with Larry Cohen’s The Stuff (1985). You know Larry Cohen from movies like It’s Alive, Phone Booth and Cellular, amongst many others. The film stars Michael Moriarty as Mo, because he always wants “Mo” money, as well as Paul Sorvino, Danny Aiello--of all people-- Andrea Marcovicci and Scott Bloom. The best character of the film, as all of us agree on, is Chocolate Chip Charlie played by Garrett Morris, which all you fans will recognize from 2 Broke Girls. We also put this movie up against others as far as its effectiveness. Is The Stuff more effective than The Blob, Children of the Corn, Phantoms and They Live? If you thought this was just a straight up horror film, you’d be surprised, as all 3 Goons discuss how this movie ties in several different genres with some awesome practical effects and some not so wonderful shitty effects. Love it or hate it, it’s perfect for this month because it deals with this caulk-looking substance that comes from the ground and causes its eaters to become severely addicted. Listen in and find out what it does to their insides. Gotta love the goop. And an added bonus, find out which goon picks up a hitchhiker and lives to tell about it!
