Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Scott Thompson was already famous from Kids in the Hall; this was a deliberate departure from his sketch comedy roots into something far more vulnerable and unhinged.

Cultural

The film captures a specific pre-Grindr gay male anxiety about aging — when 30 felt like death and 52 was unimaginable, making its horror both dated and weirdly timeless.
