Bennett Yellin is a Hollywood writer most famous for co-writing the classic 1994 comedy Dumb & Dumber. Bennett took some time out of his day on the picket lines during a writer's strike to chat with Tony Mazur on the Check Your Brain podcast. He discussed why the writers went on strike and what their demands are, the years-long process of pitching Dumb & Dumber to studios, and the legacy the film carries nearly 30 years later.
