An Oral History of The Kids in the Hall

The DVD Extra is an often neglected part of the Film World, and luckily (and probably unlawfully...) they have started to end up on YouTube for more and more people to enjoy. The Kids in the Hall is probably the most influential sketch comedy group of the 1990s, and if you look, you can see the influence they've had on just about everything that's happened since. The first season DVD set had an Oral History of the group, which is a bit of a misnomer as it's really just a basic documentary, though it's told almost entirely through interviews, which makes it ride the line towards Oral History. 

The story of the group is both smart and funny, and watching Scott Thompson in particular is brilliant, because of all the kids, he's both the most reflective, and the least restrained. Mark McKiney, easily the most successful of the Kids these days, gives some insight into what it meant to be one of them, while Bruce does the heavily lifting of explaining how it all happened. 

​Well worth watching!
