Brad and Janet are now married and on the rocks. Ostensibly to fix their marriage, the couple goes on the game show 'Marriage Maze' with the eccentric Bert Schnick, who suggests Brad be imprisoned in the local mental hospital. Meanwhile, Janet's star potential is skyrocketing but who is her mysterious benefactor, and who exactly are these doctors?
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A delirious satire of television, celebrity obsession, and small-town America that plays as a bizarre fever dream, where a game show becomes the engine for marital chaos and institutional conspiracy. It's campy, disorienting, and designed to perplex as much as it amuses.
