AFTER 21:05 it's a full spoiler review

This week we're headed to the greater Toronto region with Georgia, and Ian chatting Canadian sketch comedy in the 2022 Amazon Prime semi-original series, The Kids in the Hall.  Did you see the original series from 1989-1995 on HBO, CBS or the CBC? Are the jokes still funny to their original audience? Have they managed to update their humour for the 2020s? Do they escape the common trappings of sketch comedy? Does the humour translate across generations and across genders?  Find out the answers to these questions and more in our "See It or Skip It" review of The Kids in the Hall and then we tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.
