April Fool's Month: Dumb and Dumber (1994)

Slashers

This is the part of the episode description where I write some filler sentences so that the film isn't spoiled for everyone. Blah blah blah, yadda yadda. It's a movie review show, so you know we will talk about the actors, director, production, hell-- we might even talk about our impressions of the film.

Now that I feel I have hidden the title behind the ellipses... wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?

WE ARE DOING DUMB AND DUMBER! We also discuss the prequel, Dumb and Dumberer, and sequel, Dumb and Dumber To. We also briefly acknowledge the animated TV show adaptation.

The film stars Jim Carrey, during a banner year. In 1994, he had Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber come out. That success also greatly impacted the filming and budget of this film.

Carrey was insistent on having Jeff Daniels (Blood Work, Newsroom) be his costar. We talk about his acting method and how he got his hair to be almost as crazy as his performance.

How does this film compare to other works by Peter and Bobby Farrelly? Well, don't worry- we'll tell ya!

We also pair this film with a horror movie, to stay true to form for the mission statement of the show... whatever the hell that means.

Be sure to stay tuned until the end of the episode to hear Grim Earth's song, Haunted. grimearth.bandcamp.com
