The Stuff | comment |
The Stuff is a 1985 Horror Comedy movie directed, written and executive produced by Larry Cohen about a snack food that is actually a living, mind-controlling, addictive... stuff. It also apparently hollows out its victims and turns them into extremely fragile puppets. The movie is something of a satire about consumerism, with the world needing to be saved from a corrupt junk food empire.The runaway success of The Stuff starts to cut into the profits of ice cream companies, so they hire David "Mo" Rutherford (Michael Moriarty) to do some industrial spying. He slowly uncovers that The Stuff's producers have a lot of secrets, and people have all moved to a single town to produce it. With the help of "Chocolate Chip Charlie" (played by Saturday Night Live veteran Garrett Morris), a former snack food mogul and martial artist, they discover the plot to export the parasitic monster to the world, and stop it with the help of a retired Colonel and his personal militia.There's also an almost completely unrelated plot thread about a small kid who sees The Stuff moving and flat-out refuses to eat it, despite the increasingly creepy demands of his family that he should do so. He flips out and destroys a grocery store trying to get rid of The Stuff, and for some reason, the main cast comes and inducts him into the resistance after seeing a story about them in the news. | |

Sniff Sniff Nom: Pretty much how the movie starts. Some man stumbles upon the Stuff bubbling up from what appears to be the center of the Earth, and for some reason his first reaction is to taste it. Him finding it tasty is what eventually kickstarts its mass commercialization. | |

Angry Guard Dog: Inverted in that the dog immediately takes to the visiting Mo, while its owner is terrified of it. Made funny by the fact that the "angry" is supplied by dubbed in growling and barking (from the wrong breed of dog) and the camera cutting out its wagging tail as much as possible. | |

Bittersweet Ending: The protagonists, with Col. Spears' help, manage to broadcast the Stuff's harmful effects, getting enough people to turn against the product and destroy it. However, despite these successful attempts to stop distribution of the Stuff, the film ends with several people addicted to it smuggling many containers of it away. The Stuff is still out there, with the strong implication that it can't be fully stopped. | |

Politically Incorrect Hero: The Colonel has an obvious beef with black people, and the film doesn't gloss over it which is striking given the film's otherwise light tone. Granted, it seems to be less the traditional racial animus and more his perception that all black people are liberal communists. | |

Corrupt Corporate Executive: All of the food executives (except Charlie), and especially Fletcher. Fletcher in particular knew the stuff was pure evil and was smart enough not to eat it himself, but was still fine with distributing it to the world. The denouement even shows that after the Stuff was stopped, he's planning on starting it all over again by selling ice cream ("The Taste") laced with a "safe amount" of "only" 12% of the Stuff. | |

The Stuff / int_e0c470a1 | comment |
The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: Ads for this movie famously treated the Stuff as though it were an actual product available in the real world. | |

Anti-Climax | |
The Stuff / int_eeb4a5eb | comment |
Anti-Climax: Spears' men take over a radio station and broadcast their warning about the dangers of the Stuff... and then cut to Nicole talking directly to the camera about how everyone immediately believed them and the Stuff was outlawed and destroyed. It was apparently just that easy. | |

The Stuff / int_f98356f | comment |
Right-Wing Militia Fanatic: The Colonel is probably a parody. His first reaction upon being told by Mo about the Stuff and its onslaught is to blame it on a Communist plot. | |
