The episode covers the cult classic film 'The Stuff' as it turns 40, discussing its direction, editing, and various interpretations of the titular product.

A cult classic turns 40, and we've gotta cover it! We (can and definitely did) get enough of The Stuff! What is the direction Michael Moriarty was given? Who sliced this thing to ribbons? What's the deal with The Stuff? Is it frozen? Cold? Yogurt? Ice Cream?! All this and more! We’re going to a new schedule: the 1st of the month on Patreon for $5 and up members, and the 15th on the main feed. Want to hear the rest of this episode?
