Episode description

Enough is never enough! This week, Peaches and Michael are enjoying a heaping spoonful of creamy goodness in celebration of 1985’s THE STUFF! In addition to discussing their fascination with this foodie fright’s branding power, our hosts delve into the legendary legacy of STUFF creator Larry Cohen. Joining the conversation is celebrated screenwriter and producer Mike Zara, whose lifelong love of this cult classic continues to influence him today. Then, acclaimed writer Lea Anderson stops by to shed some light on THE STUFF’s critique of capitalism and the inherent truth of slime. From the ice cream industrial complex to rotating rooms, this episode has it all! Go!
