is an enjoyable insight into the life and work of five alternative comedians who took their show from stage to screen – with a few bumps along the way.
Director Reg Harkema combines archive footage and clips with modern day interviews, speaking to Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson separately as well as in a group. And if anyone can deliver pithy soundbites, it’s a bunch of successful comedy writers. Their comments often reflect the rebellious punk attitude of the title.
– the men were depressed, some weren’t even speaking to each other, and the movie tanked.
