This episode we're talking about reefer (madness), so you don't want no part of this shit! No shorts this time so we get right into it with the aforementioned anti-drug "movie", Humphrey Bogart making a big splash, Fritz Lang turning his critical eye towards the USA, Frank Capra's feel-goodery, a nightmarish look into the future, and Charlie Chaplin's final film as The Tramp! All of that and more!
