Josh and Drusilla discuss the grossout dark comedy, How to Get Ahead in Advertising (1989.) From wiki: “How to Get Ahead in Advertising is a 1989 British black comedy fantasy film written and directed by Bruce Robinson, and starring Richard E. Grant and Rachel Ward. In the film, an advertising executive has a nervous breakdown and finds himself concerned with the ethics of his profession. As a result, a talking boil grows on his shoulder, a manifestation of the cynical and unscrupulous side of his personality.”

Also discussed: The Wicker Man complete cut, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, Flesh Pot on 42nd Street, Army of Darkness (again!), Psycho Beach Party, Space is the Place, Laura Ashley, and more.
