Sure. It's original alright. But what exactly is IT? Well, a lot of things, really. Wacky, vulgar, bizarre, confusing, trippy, peculiar, pointless, strangely upbeat, definitely hilarious at times, but mostly random. Very, very random. What kind of childhood must one endure to one day grow up and have ideas like these go through their head, and then actually manage to make a movie about it? What type of delusional fuck has the balls to explain this nonsense to the people he wants as his stars? And how'd he get so many semi-hot naked chicks to lend him their naked bodies and shitty acting? Alot of mystery surrounding this one. I've seen Meat Weed Madness a couple times over the years, and I can honestly say that I still don't know quite what to make of it. And I'm pretty sure that's a good thing.
Marijuana grown with human flesh.Yeah. That's what this movie is about. The Farmers of a magical Southern plantation called Meat Weed Manor grow the best weed on the planet using said method. How or why this works obviously isn't the issue here. That subject is just never really tackled. What is the Issue, you ask? Well, uh... nudity, I guess. Nudity and sleaziness. We'll just go with that. I'm sure there's something more to it, but whatevs. Anyway, four Southern Belles stumble upon the beautiful plantation, and are immediately welcomed by Lord Meat Weed, to stick around for a while, and to try out some product, which makes them go mad and make out with each other, which is by far the most normal thing to happen the entire duration of this movie.
So much happens that it's almost impossible to keep it all straight. What sticks out in my mind the most is the dumb, yet disturbingly surreal music. pointlessly dubbed voices, weird images, many, many random acts of vulgar sleaziness. Oh, And Bullpucky the Minotaur. We mustn't forget that thing. Watching that thing move about is one of the funniest things in the movie. Just don't be trying to take it all seriously. Just appreciate Meat Weed Madness for what it is. Whatever it is. Nothing against films which are shot on video. I'm definitely not one of those weirdos who can't take s.o.v's seriously. And it's not even the obvious micro-budget. I love low-budget movies. I just find all of this a bit hard to swallow.
Maybe there is some kind of message, hidden deep down beneath all the stupid, surreal shit. Maybe this film isn't just insanity disguised as a comedy about pot. Perhaps there's a little genius beneath all the bullshit. I can see how Lloyd Kaufman would watch this and think just that, and take a chance on it on the off chance that it might just be the next great Troma movie. Poor old bastard. I'm pretty sure my original assumption was correct, and Aiden Dillard is a retard with no future, and Troma fans will never give a fuck about Meat Weed Madness. Regardless, I'll say it's definitely worth at least one viewing if you happen to be fascinated by the unique and the weird, or even if you simply like weed movies. Although, that one's a maybe. ?/10
