There is a lot of drunk tension and bitter banter during this episode in which the comedy gets serious. All artifice shatters as we stab each other mercilessly in an attempt to relive terrible moments and learn the real truth about each other. Warning: not a fun one to record, but sometimes those turn out to be the best ones. This is two friends criticizing each other and speaking through conflict. The whole thing has an "intervention" feel that may or may not purvey unintentional humor and "cringe laughs" in the form of schadenfreude. I talk about the 1976 Walter Matthau comedy THE BAD NEWS BEARS.
