We're wishing stoners young and old out there a joyous Season's Greetings with our BONKERS HOLIDAZE SPECIAL. Philena still hasn't seen WICKED: FOR GOOD but we got more than enough witches and weirdness for her with THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ from 1910, a silent wonder which condenses Dorothy's entire journey into just 13 baffling minutes! What this early (but not first) version of THE WIZARD OF OZ lacks in coherence, it more than makes up for with stoniness. Glinda turns Toto into a strange dog-beast, and the flying monkeys are replaced with a bat-winged frog nightmare! We not only tell you what to smoke with this one but also what to put on your playlist while you enjoy the confusion. THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ is public domain so it's streaming on YouTube, Archive and even TikTok!
And speaking of barely coherent, our main feature is SANTA CLAUS, a brain-melting oddity from Mexico in 1959 where Santa Claus and Merlin must stop a pantaloons-clad Devil from wrecking Christmas. If you put this fantasia on at your family holiday gathering instead of LOVE ACTUALLY or whatever the normies watch this time of year, grandma will feel like she's stoned even if she doesn't have a medical marijuana prescription. This psychiatric experiment was directed by René Cardona, who later gave us such gruesome classics as NIGHT OF THE BLOODY APES (1969) and the cannibalism epic SURVIVE! (1976). Another public domain gem, so it's streaming everywhere but the print that's on Tubi is the best. We suggest watching with a crowd, but if the male loneliness epidemic has you down, here's the MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 episode that Cory watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTWs3zvz1z4
We also talk about the Netflix merger with Warner Bros (but recorded it before the Ellisons got involved), the short-lived CASABLANCA TV series from the 80s, Greg watching BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS (1980) on his new mammoth 4K TV and ZOOTOPIA 2.
Happy New Year's everybody and see you back in February 2026!

S4E4 Easter 420 with Jesus Christ Superstar (1973) & The Day the Earth Stood Still (51)
Easter falls on 4/20 this year so we've got HIPPY JESUS and SPACE JESUS with JESUS CHRIST SUPER STAR (1973) and THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (1951). While Hippy Jesus screaming in the desert and Space Jesus getting shot at by jittery soldiers in Cold War Washington D.C. All this plus Carl Anderson delivering the performance of a lifetime as Judas Iscariot and GORT, the giant silver robot, melting tanks and cannons. This episode has Philena singing "I Don't Know How to Love Him" and Bob saying "Gort Klaatu Barada Nikto" to make her stop. What's the Buzz? We are buzzed.
Before we get into the High Holiday weed pairings, Bob reviews FREAKY TALES, a movie that's hopefully still playing somewhere, because you should get really high and see it. Cory fills us in on his big move to Arkansas where he has found a wonderland of storied fast food chains that we do not have in California, Philena fills us in on the new build your own icecream sandwich joint in the Valley, and Bob recounts playing for a dive bar filled with Nazi skinheads with the Disneyland fireworks going off in the distance. And if that wasn't enough, we are joined by Sage, who has thoughts on JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR.
JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR is currently streaming on Prime, and THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL is available on disc at your local library and here: https://archive.org/details/the-day-the-earth-stood-still-1951_202106
Come back in May for The PhilenApocalypse III in Super 3D with TO WONG FOO, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! JULIE NEWMAR (1995) and HURRICANE BIANCA (2016). Subscribe on your favorite podcast app so you don't miss it.
