Reefer Madness was a 1936 propaganda film intended to be a morality tale to keep children away from drug usage. In it, the film professed to expose a seedy underbelly of marijuana usage, depicting scenes of hallucination, sexual assault, murder, and descent into insanity. Though presenting itself as educational, over the years it gained new life as an unintentional satire for its campy production style and over-the-top acting. In 1998, the film would be adapted into a satirical production of musical theater, marking performances in Los Angeles, Off-Broadway, and St. Louis before being adapted to film by Showtime in 2005.

On this episode of Hell Is A Musical Lilz and Scott welcome the delightful duo of Ashleigh and Maggie of music history podcast Rock Candy, to discuss the movie musical adaptation of Reefer Madness. Join them for rousing discussions of Alan Cumming puns, Pizza Hut, 90s sitcom Wings, and a whole lot of Ana Gasteyer being awesome.

...with Lilz and Scott!
