Broadway's "The Prom" stars Caitlin Kinnunen and Isabelle Mccalla join us to unravel the chameleon-like career of Jim Carrey, sharing laughs as we reminisce on his metamorphosis from rubber-faced comedian to a thespian of depth. Today we're talking about the forgotten Coppola romantic comedy called "Peggy Sue Got Married," where Jim Carrey plays the best friend of a very campy Nicolas Cage.

Our stroll down memory lane brings us face to face with the rhino scene that defined "Ace Ventura" and the sublime moments of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," interspersed with personal stories that paint a fuller picture of Carrey's unique trajectory. It's an episode punctuated with chuckles and reflections, much like the roles that have shaped Carrey’s legacy.

This is an extra special treat, we were given an opportunity to speak with filmmaker Sav Rodgers about his experience making the incredible documentary Chasing Chasing Amy, analyzing his relationship with the film, and the film's relationship with culture. We discuss how difficult it is to put yourself out there in a documentary, awkward interviews, and the musicals Sav would love to adapt to screen. This was a wonderful interview and you should give it a listen.

Join us as we hop into the time machine and rewind to 1984, where we reminisce about Jim Carrey's first lead role in the quirky TV sitcom "The Duck Factory." This conversation unwraps the layers of the show, from its hopeful beginnings as a mid-season replacement to its untimely demise. Listen in as we explore the role Carrey played as Skip Tarkington, a departure from his usual zany persona, and ponder whether this straight-man act might have masked his comedic genius. We also shed light on the authenticity brought to the show by co-creator Alan Burns's animation background, and how this series, despite its brevity, still holds a special place in our hearts.
