Musicals Taught Me Everything I Know
Reefer Madness with Patrick Aiken
This week we chat with Patrick Aiken about which of life's truths can be learned from the propaganda-parody musical - Reefer Madness!
"Viewed through eyes blurred by no substance stronger than cough syrup, the film is still mildly diverting, with its censorious, bespectacled narrator and its scenes showing wholesome high-school students transformed into monsters by a single puff. It even has a weird, sort of Expressionist power in its mad, jerky party scenes. But its humor, especially for head-movie fans, has always been in its somber, tabloid-style hyperbole."
