The Butterfly Effect (2004) with Stephen Sajdak
Manage episode 488297946 series 3317541
Welcome to Season 3, where you can’t sleep at night, because everyone is screaming! We Hate Movies cohost, improviser and former Smash Mouth frontman impersonator Stephen Sajdak joins us to, for some reason, revisit the 2004 attempted Ashton Kutcher reinvention, The Butterfly Effect. We’d say Kutcher’s laughable attempt at a dramatic turn is the most offensive thing about this movie, but man, the mentally ill really get it, don’t they? In true TFTRR tradition, we go back to the best and the worst (no, seriously, the worst) of 2004, a time when you could still pretend mental health facilities were nightmare factories and make tasteless prison jokes while still claiming to be a serious movie. Plus, we discuss the Edgy Media Economy, this movie’s weird insistence on attachment to your childhood friends and high school sweethearts and, of course, the Bash Brothers.
