Jenda’s Movie Madness: Reefer Madness (1936)

She crash‑landed on purpose. She’s back. And this time she’s taking on a film so hysterically misinformed, so melodramatic, and so unintentionally funny, it practically lights itself on fire.

Strap in for the next uproarious chapter of Jenda’s Movie Madness, where cinematic catastrophes are transformed into pure comedy gold.

This round, we’re diving headfirst into Reefer Madness — the 1936 “educational” scare film that tried to warn America about the dangers of jazz, dancing, and smiling too much. It’s a moral‑panic masterpiece packed with wild overacting, unhinged plot twists, and enough misinformation to make your high school health teacher weep.

🎤 Featuring live, unfiltered, laugh‑out‑loud commentary from the incomparable Jen Da’Benda and co-host Cutie Claws.
