About this episode

The episode discusses the film The Butterfly Effect, exploring its themes, execution, and various endings.

Ahh, the mid 2000s. We are all feeling a bit existential, wondering what it would be like to change the past. The Butterfly Effect is certainly a byproduct of the time. Was this an A+ idea that wasn’t fully executed or do you love it as much as you did back then? Have you seen all the different endings and which is the best? Where does this movie excel with its time travel theory and where does it fall apart? Have you ever heard such vulgar language from Ashton Kutcher in a movie?
