About this episode

The episode features mini-reviews and a discussion on the film 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' as part of a series on films from 2004.

This week, the boys grabbed some beers and kept it positive while they fired off some mini-reviews before featuring a conversation about “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”. As part of the random year generator series, 2004 was a great year for movies, with over 50 $100m movies and many likable ones. While “Eternal Sunshine” didn’t gross in the top 70, it may be the year’s greatest film. Props to Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman for giving Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet some juicy roles and incredibly shifty worlds! As for the mini-reviews, the boys can’t speak highly enough of Gore Verbinski’s “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die”, starring Sam Rockwell, and the intense and captivating “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You”, and the Academy Award-nominated “It Was Just An Accident”.
