At Stella's urging, Dan has finally checked out the ghoulish comedy sequel, Addams Family Values, and it's fair to say he loves it. Hear them rhapsodise, with spoilers throughout. It's the second Missed Classic in which the team are called to praise Carol Kane (the previous one being When A Stranger Calls), but Dan feels bad that they never mention Jimmy Workman, who's stuck in the least interesting Addams role of Pugsley, but gives a perfect performance.
