People use drug use as tropes and they use it as character devices and as film devices.
Lights, camera, addiction? In this engaging episode of 'What's the Crack', hosts Rob Calder, Elle Wadsworth, and Lindsey Hines dive into the fascinating world of drug use in films. Ever wondered if those dramatic drug scenes are true to life? The trio unpacks how drugs are depicted in movies, from the gritty realism to the wildly exaggerated.
They ask tough questions like, 'What does a character's drug use reveal about them?' and 'Are drugs just a quick way to spice up a storyline?'. The conversation doesn't stop there. They also tackle the topic of tobacco in films and whether it should come with an age restriction. And yes, they ponder why Zac Efron movies keep popping up in their discussion.
With a mix of humor and serious analysis, this episode is perfect for anyone curious about the intersection of addiction and pop culture. So grab some popcorn and tune in!
