The Stuff (1985)
There are movies that ask “what if?”… and then there’s “what if we found a mysterious white goo bubbling out of the earth and immediately devoured the forbidden Cool Whip?”
That’s the energy of The Stuff, and we are all in on this deliciously unhinged ride.
What starts as a simple “hey, don’t eat that” quickly spirals into a full-blown corporate satire with killer yogurt, brainwashed families, and a kid who responds to existential horror by absolutely wrecking a grocery store.
We discuss:
The wild filmmaking style of Larry Cohen (permits are more of a suggestion)
The “Yogurt Factory” court case that shaped entertainment law
Whether we would eat The Stuff.
