Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical Artwork

In Each Retelling

The podcast where we explore how old tales are made new! Whether it's the fairytales we heard as children, the classic literature we read in high school, or the most ancient of mythologies, it seems creators can't help but keep putting their own spin on old stories, and we're going to tackle every flavor we can get our nerdy hands on.

Whether 4/20 is a day you celebrate or not, it is always a good idea to celebrate Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical ruthlessly satirizing not just the anti drug PSA of the same name, but the culture that created it. Join Jas, Charlotte, Ella, Gillian, Conor, and Katie in a discussion of the dangerous power of propaganda, and how sometimes making fun of it is the best weapon we have against it, the brilliant performances and music, and the unfortunate failings of white creators trying to make fun of racism.
