Episode 737: Dumb and Dumber (1994)

Mike is joined by co-hosts Ryan Luis Rodriguez and John Walker to revisit Dumb and Dumber (1994), the oddball road movie that redefined gross-out comedy and became a surprise cultural touchstone. The trio unpacks the film’s absurdist tone, its unexpected structural tightness, and how it helped catapult the Farrenlly Brothers and Jim Carrey into the Hollywood mainstream.

Screenwriter Bennett Yellin stops by to reflect on the film’s long development process, the writing collaboration with the Farrenlly Brothers, and what it was like shaping one of the most quotable comedies of the decade.
