What We Think

Brain Candy is a chaotic, absurd comedy that pokes fun at everything but doesn’t fall into the now-standard “woke” trappings. It focuses more on comedy and satire than ideological messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy is chiefly a satire, prioritizing absurdist humor over ideology. Its character focus remains on quirks and comedic flaws rather than identity politics. Casting reflects the sketch troupe’s usual approach, with an emphasis on eccentric personalities rather than modern representational checklists.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film pokes fun at various elements of society, including family, pop culture, and the medical establishment, but it doesn’t aggressively undermine traditional values or portray masculinity, religion, or family as inherently bad or outdated. The main target is pharmaceutical culture, not cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While irreverent, the film lampoons all sides fairly evenly. There’s no obvious effort to paint dissenting or traditional perspectives as villainous; the humor is scattershot and targets everyone, not just select groups or viewpoints.
