In part 2 of our series, we start by getting a lesson on biomechanics and species divergence: two things which help us understand how ol' Sassie could potentially be a real, living being. We then take a massive detour and talk about the history and criminality of marijuana, the back to the land movement of Northern California, and how the conditions of the area make it perfect for high quality cannabis cultivation. I know what you're asking: how is this related to Bigfoot? It may be standing in the shadows of the cannabis farms of the not-so-peaceful Emerald Triangle, and maybe... just maybe... it has a violent appetite.

Trump is pointing to Kilmar Abrego Garcia's tattoos to justify his indefinite detention without charge in the ultra-oppressive Salvadoran prison gulag. These notoriously include a cannabis leaf, demonstrating the continued propaganda utility of the "Reefer Madness" stigma, even as a multi-milion dollar legal industry emerges. But the White House actually added the characters "MS13" (name of the notorious Salvadoran gang) to the shot of Abrego Garcia's knuckles in a crude photoshop job—despite transparent denials from Trump. Lubricating the emerging transnational mass detention program with this Orwellian post-truth stratagem, the Trump regime meanwhile moves toward actual deportation of US citizens.

(/tpodcasttwdie.bsky.social) SHOWNOTES: We hope all of our ganja-enjoying listeners had a fantastic 4/20; we sure did! This stoner holiday, we blazed while watching the anti-cannabis propaganda exploitation film Reefer Madness! Originally released as a Christian picture titled Tell Your Children in 1936, then vulgarly recut as an exploitation film from 1938 through the 50s, this hilariously melodramatic flick was recontextualized as an unintentional satire in the 70s, and is ironically considered by many weed smokers one of the original stoner movies today. For our (belated) 4/20 Special, Beau and Ash are joined by returning guests Kevin and Erin from The Podcast That Wouldn't Die! in our discussion of one of the worst films ever made and the batshit insanity it unabashedly presents as factual in its campaign against marijuana.

Hey, folks! Today, we've got a treat for fans of cult musicals and sharp satire. We're celebrating the 25th anniversary of Reefer Madness: The Musical, a hilariously over-the-top sendup of the 1930s anti-marijuana propaganda film. The show first hit the stage in 1998, blending dark comedy, catchy songs, and biting social commentary, and it went on to inspire a star-studded 2005 film adaptation.   Joining Les today are the brilliant minds behind it all—Kevin Murphy and Dan Studney. Kevin is a prolific writer and lyricist, known for his work on Desperate Housewives and Heathers: The Musical. Dan is an accomplished writer and composer, with credits that include Jack the Giant Slayer and a range of film and TV projects. Together, they crafted Reefer Madness into the cult sensation it is today, and now, they're back to talk about the newly released 25th anniversary cast recording.   We're diving into the show's origins, its journey to cult status, and what makes this new recording special—so stick around!

Wiz RECOMMENDS Haxan: Witchcraft Through The Ages More of a visual essay than a documentary, Häxan can be best described as a college course that was performed by a theater troupe and directed by the professor. In fact, the film is very academic: it cites sources in the movie while showing pictures like a visual dissertation. Honestly, it this was a film that was made today, it would feel very dry and clinical. And yet, it's fascinating to watch. Häxan tells an academic timeline about witchcraft and how it's interpreted in specific times. At first, I was thinking it was going to be a Reefer Madness but with witches, but it actually shows more about the bad side of the witch hunts and the people it brutalized. Visuals in some of the scenes are actually very well done. The music that's accompanied with the Criterion Collection version of the film is excellent. And on top of that, the theories that Christensen toys with at the end are strangely intelligent, almost prescient. Honestly, the best way to think about Häxan as a TV docu-series like Unsolved Mysteries or America's Most Wanted but about witchcraft. It's strange: I was ready to laugh about this film, but I ended up being sort of mesmerized by it.

Growing up in a family deeply entrenched in the arts, Lori Alan naturally gravitated towards the stage and microphone. Her parents were theater majors who later ventured into advertising and directing, so it's no surprise that growing up in a creative environment played a pivotal role in shaping her career path. She looks back on the early stages of her career, including a Shakey's Pizza commercial she starred in that marked her initial foray into professional acting at the age of 5. Despite getting bullied for her unique voice, she chose to embrace her talent instead. After studying and pursuing a career in acting in New York, she decided to move to LA to explore new opportunities. This marked the beginning of her extensive work in voice acting, including iconic roles in "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Family Guy". She shares how she honed her skills, her ability to adapt to different genres, and where she usually draws inspiration from in bringing characters to life. Lori also talks about her time in “Reefer Madness”, the show's success, and a memorable moment when she met Warren Beatty, who had once shown interest in her mother. Beyond her acting and voice career, she is also a dedicated voice acting coach, emphasizing the importance of studying the craft, being in the moment, and giving your all in whatever you do. Lori Alan is an award-winning actor, writer, producer, and coach who fell out of the womb sitting in front of a microphone. She is the voice of Pearl Krabs on the “SpongeBob SquarePants” animated series and among many other roles has brought to life Diane Simmons on “Family Guy”, Sue Richards aka The Invisible Woman on “The Fantastic Four”, and The Boss on the “Metal Gear Solid” video game series. She originated the role of Mae Coleman in the award-winning musical “Reefer Madness” in 1988, and is now reprising the same role in the current LA production.

A great movie that is very difficult movie to recommend because of its subject matter, Paul Schrader's Auto Focus (2002), the story of TV-star Bob Crane, is another of Schrader's portraits of a man whose self-destruction we watch with admiration for the writing and unease at what we're seeing. It's a combination of The Lost Weekend, Reefer Madness, and Sunset Blvd. with Willem Defoe at his creepiest. But it's much more than perfect recreations of Hogan's Heroes or Greg Kinnear's incredible performance: it's a movie about the power of movies and images and of how nothing seems real until it is filmed—an idea we see all the time as people hold up their phones to record their vacations, kids' sporting events, or office birthday parties. It's a shocking film, but Schrader seems to have been as shocked to make it as we are to see it. Auto Focus is based on Robert Graysmith's The Murder of Bob Crane. If you are interested in the details of Crane's murder—which remains a cold case—you may want to read John Hook's Who Killed Bob Crane? The Final Close-Up. A more traditional biography of Crane that seeks to tell more than what Schrader does in Auto Focus was published in 2015.

It's Earth Day and we want to celebrate one of the finest gifts that this pretty planet has to offer. No, not Fred Silverman - everyone's best bud, cannabis! But things haven't always looked as bright for MJ as they do nowadays with modern legalization efforts, and so we're looking back at a time when the hype around marijuana was more about the insanity it caused than its many benefits. And that insanity had a special name - Reefer Madness!~~~REEFER MADNESS! It's taken over this fine country, so we decided it was time to cover it! Run for your life, marijuana is polluting the minds of America's youths!“Reefer Madness”, originally titled “Tell Your Children”, was an exploitation and propaganda film released in 1936, 1938, or 1939…. Seriously, they didn't keep an accurate record of the film's release. It was meant to teach about the dangers of grass, dope, ganja, that sticky icky icky icky… And the film worked! People were terrified!What's even more interesting than the film is The Marihuana Act of 1937. (Yes, that's how it was spelt.) Passed by the government and backed by William Randolph Hearst, it was the first step in making cannabis as illegal as illegal could be!This week Ray teaches Rob all about the history of hemp and its many uses, how this film fell into public domain, which ultimately led to some of the first midnight screenings and opened the door for showings of movies like “Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “The Room”…and how that wacky tabacky could make you go insane and beat your acquaintance with a stick.
