You can always find something to talk about in the code, though. You can start by just describing what each line does, in your opinion. Then you can go back and start to group the lines - e.g. "lines 1-3 are the initialization, lines 4-6 are probably intended to flurb the glorb", etc. Yes, it's possible that you can find an interviewee who is great technically but shuts down during an interview. The question is how much time and effort you want to invest digging for that person, especially in light of such studies.
