Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical

I hadn’t heard about this new version of Reefer Madness until our Alan Cumming post the other day. Years ago, I saved up money from my first job to send off to America for a video copy of the original 1936 propaganda film (& if you haven’t seen it then track down a copy – you’ll love it – it’s one of the most unintentionally funny movies ever). The trouble was, when it finally arrived, it was an American video tape and thus NTSC format which my video player wouldn’t play so it took me another year to save up to pay someone to transfer it over to PAL so I could watch it. The new version turns the 1936 straight-laced movie into a hi-camp, all-singing, all-dancing, high-falutin’ romp. The dvd is out in October (or is now available from your favourite p2p/torrent/usenet servers).
