Description
Oddball Films presents Pick Your Poison: Medicine and Madness. This truly bizarre program of medical, psychoactive and mental hygiene films features the campiest, most eye-poppingly lurid, informational and coldly clinical gems in the Archive that are sure to give us thanks for our own "sanity." Highlights include, Pain and Its Alleviation (1961) a drama-laden, horror inspired mental hygiene film produced for the UCLA Nursing School; watch a tweaked out Ohio teen talk about Quaaludes and other relaxants in Addictive Sopers (1978); learn about the effects of sedative hypnotics, opiates and opiods, stimulants, psychedelics and alcohol on the human body in Psychoactive (1976); and the classic mental hygiene film, with the prototypical 1950s cash register dad in Ulcer at Work (1957). Plus! Patient Porky Pig visits the hospital in this 1940s WB cartoon.More Info
