Overview

Amalgamated Dairies hires David Rutherford, an FBI man turned industrial saboteur, to investigate a popular new product called “the Stuff,” a new dessert product that is blowing ice cream sales out of the water. Nobody knows how it’s made or what’s in it, but people are lining up to buy it. It’s got a delicious flavor to die for!

Viewing Notes

Other movies do a critique of consumerism better but perhaps none with as much fun as in The Stuff. Some truly goofy acting and dialogue combined with great low budget practical FX make this a classic.
