REEFER MADNESS

In this week’s Classic by Louis J. Gasnier, you will watch the detrimental effects of marijuana on the innocent, declining youth. Highly controversial during mid-30’s, Reefer Madness lets you decide whether it’s a parody on good old-fashioned America or a serious criticism of this drug’s use.

Synopsis: Reefer Madness was a propaganda film that relates the story, as told by high school principal Dr. Carroll to parents at a PTA meeting, of the scourge of marijuana. The tale revolves around Mae and Jack, accomplices in the distribution of marijuana, who manage to entice the local high school kids to stop by Mae's apartment to smoke reefer. The lives of all who are involved with this menace are inevitably shattered. One youngster becomes so addicted to the killer weed that a judge orders him to be committed for life to a mental hospital! Dr. Carroll advises us to not incur the same tragedy.

PRISONER OF SPLENDOR

Synopsis: Tony Taste is a big man in every sense of the word. Entrepreneur, master chef, TV star, and gourmand extraordinaire, he rules the world of food and media. But the man who built this success is himself a media creation, fueled by ambition and more than a few lies.

Now at the height of his powers, his weight, the most apparent incarnation of his greed, threatens to destroy all he has built. Needing a loan to cover overly ambitious expansion plans, Tony is forced by a cautious bank to get into shape or go away empty handed. Never shrinking from any challenge, Tony rises to the occasion and gets the loan, but in the process his all consuming character leads him down a path of addiction and obsession. Prisoner of Splendor skewers our collective fascination with food, TV and personalities who themselves are being devoured by the gluttonous media machine.
