Ep. 06-21: The Stuff (1985)

When a mysterious, white, and gooey but delicious substance begins oozing from the Earth’s surface, it makes a great new dessert product. But this new dessert has a sinister origin: it’s an entity that takes over its victims’ minds while making them crave more of it.

Welcome to our 2nd listener/viewer request episode AND our first venture into the guerilla filmmaking world of prolific writer/director Larry Cohen. Thanks to Andrew Marler for recommending this classic 1980s schlock! Join us as we discuss the pros and cons of the film, including its director, cast, and themes. Listen, as Johnny Has the Keys fights greedy corporate misers poisoning the minds of people with a delicious and ominous dessert product.
