This week, Susan has selected the 1996 cult comedy classic from the Kids in the Hall (KITH), Brain Candy. Greg and Susan discuss the targets of satire in the film: the pharmaceutical industry, corporate greed, grunge, and fame. They also talk about how the success of the film fell victim to individual struggles of KITH members, disagreements about the story between the troupe's members and Dave Foley, and pressures from the studio.

The couple also discusses trivia about the film and some history of the members and more memorable KITH characters.
