Smoking Causes Coughing (2023): "Superheroes, Surrealism, and Slabs of Titanium"

In this episode of Can I Change My Score, Sophie and Matt unravel the gloriously unhinged Smoking Causes Coughing, a French satire blending Power Rangers absurdity with horror anthology chaos. From the grotesquely charismatic Chief Didier (a womanising rat puppet oozing green slime) to bizarrely staged campfire horror stories, this film revels in its own surreal nonsense. They debate its deeper meaning—if one exists—while marvelling at its deadpan humour, gory superhero antics, and titanium prison-bed luxury. Matt is all in, Sophie remains unconvinced, but both agree: this is weird cinema at its most ridiculous and unexpectedly brilliant.
