Old Kids On The Block: New Doc, New Eps For Comedy Legends Kids In The Hall
boyculture.comKevin McDonald, Scott Thompson, Bruce McCulloch, Mark McKinney & Dave Foley in 2021 (Image via Twitter) Who would have thought we'd be watching new Kids in the Hall episodes in 2022, and yet here we are, with new episodes premiering on Amazon Prime Video May 13.
The boys — all aged 59-62 — are the subject of a two-part doc, The Kids in the Hall: Comedy Punks, which helpfully reminds viewers of the troupe's 38-year legacy of subversive comedy, including flirtations with SNL, exploration of drag and homosexuality and their dark humor's impressive sphere of influence.
Using pristine archival footage and new interviews, the piece rehashes the group's rise to fame, internal struggles and lucrative reunions, doing so while also presenting snippets of their greatest hits and worst bits.
It feels definitive, and I would suggest watching it prior to digging in to their new episodes. As for the new stuff, they've still got it.
