About this episode
Co-hosts Ryan Luis Rodriguez and John Walker join Mike to discuss the 1994 comedy Dumb and Dumber's blend of comedy and caper, its place in '90s comedy, and its surprising longevity. We discuss how the film launched the Farrelly Brothers into mainstream success and cemented Jim Carrey's status as a box office powerhouse.
Screenwriter Bennett Yellin joins the conversation to talk about the film’s development, working with the Farrellys, and crafting the dynamic between Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne.
