About this episode

The episode discusses the film Toothless and its themes of death and the afterlife through the lens of comedy.

Can dentists go to heaven? That's the question that only Toothless (1997) is bold enough to ask, and also bold enough to answer: No. This is what dead dentist Dr. Katherine Lewis discovers after she is hit by a car and wakes up in limbo, and discovers that, as punishment for her life of fixing people's mouths, she is sentenced to be the tooth fairy, visiting children's homes unseen to collect their teeth and exchange them for shiny silver coins, until such time as the powers that be decide that she has served her time and can go to heaven. But in an interesting twist, it turns out that Katherine is bad at this and so before long, she's chatting to kids, giving them advice and occasionally watching their dads undress. Will Katherine be able to make it to heaven despite her many, many crimes? Does Disney realise that not every country has the concept of a tooth fairy? And if your movie's script is bad, is it enough to just do the cabbage patch and hope for the best? Listen and find out!
