How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A caustic descent into the underbelly of children's television where a washed-up entertainer wages increasingly unhinged war against his squeaky replacement. It's a pitch-black farce that treats its premise with deadly seriousness while reveling in the absurdity.
