Happy Hour #97 - Listen to Podcasts, Jimmy - ‘Reefer Madness’

Jim and Tomic's Musical Theatre Happy Hour

There is a terrifying craze creeping up on your children, no - it’s not pool, it’s ‘Reefer Madness!’ Whether you’re a fan of the green stuff or not, this musical is an incredible send-up of B-Movies and American politics and has some stonking star turns in its movie adaptation. We talk all about Kristen Bell’s dancing chops, whether this show should be performed in high schools and give some home truths about the world of weed.

SHOW NOTES

We can’t recommend the film adaptation of Reefer Madness enough! If you haven’t seen it - get that sorted!

If you’re interested in seeing Kristen Bell’s dancing chops check out this clip from the movie featuring Neve Campbell of all people!
