We get ethereal and metaphysical while watching Jim talk about his time making Man on the Moon. We do a deep dive into what it means to be a method actor, how we connect with others, and how Jim's roles all seem to mirror his life.
Hosted by Brian Kondrach and Carrie Grant
Thank you so much for listening. We're taking a little break before diving into the Showtime show, Kidding. Plus, Sonic 2 just got a release date of April 8, 2022 so we might be back for that!
This is our last major movie for The Jim Carrey Project and things move real slow in this "thriller" about a detective trying to solve a cold case and root out corruption. We discuss just how bad this movie is, ponder as to how Jim got involved, compare it to "The Number 23" and, SPOILERS, discuss just how in the hell this movie without a twist even got made.
Hosted by Brian Kondrach and Carrie Grant.
Join us next time for Jim & Andy.
We spend some time in the desert watching this dystopian dud filled with big names and small dialogue. We discuss big, beefy cannibals, creepy cult leaders, and just how well Jim can act without ANY dialogue.
Hosted by Brian Kondrach and Carrie Grant.
Join us next time for Dark Crimes!
We visit our old pals Harry and Lloyd in this totally unnecessary sequel. We discuss where it went right, where it went wrong, and why anyone thought that it would be a good idea to make this movie.
Hosted by Brian Kondrach and Carrie Grant.
Join us next time for The Bad Batch!
We get caught up in a convoluted mess of a story with this hard hitting sequel. Jim doesn't have much of a role but he still knows how to show up and bring an honest and intense character to life.
Hosted by Brian Kondrach and Carrie Grant.
Join us next time for Dumb and Dumber 2!
We take a magical trip with Steve Carrell, Steve Buschemi, Olivia Wilde, and Jim Carrey in this tale of friendship and redemption. We discuss just how unlikeable the characters are and Jim's intense performance.
Hosted by Brian Kondrach and Carrie Grant.
oin us next time for Kick Ass 2!
Is it ANOTHER Christmas movie? Not quite, but it DOES takes place in the winter. Mr. Popper's Penguins give us a glimpse of the amazing story teller that Jim Carrey can be before a convoluted and messy script get in the way. We discuss what this movie could have been, how to work with fake penguins, and a creepy Angela Lansbury.
Hosted by Brian Kondrach and Carrie Grant
Join us next time for The Incredible Burt Wonderstone
Christmas comes early this year as we dig in to A Christmas Carol. We discuss more accents, how underutilized Jim is in a role like this and yeah....

Join us next time for Mr. Poppers Penguins
You can't keep us away as we disucss "I Love You Phillip Morris". In this episode we talk about interesting accents, Ewan McGregor, letting scenes "breathe", and what it means to live in the silence.

Join us next time for A Christmas Carol.
We stop saying "No" and start saying "YES" to more episodes of The Jim Carrey Project! After watching Yes Man, we discuss just how likely it was for Jim Carrey to have attended one of these types of groups, Brian's own history with something similar, and how prevelant a lot of the other actors are in today's Hollywood.
Hosted by Brian Kondrach and Carrie Grant
Join us next time for I Love You, Phillip Morris.
Welcome to our first ever Jim Carrey Bookclub! In this episode we step back from the movies to discuss Jim Carrey and Dana Vachon's book, Memoirs and Misinformation. We discuss our VERY different feelings about the book, the thin line between reality and make believe, and what it means to be human. WARNING: SPOILERS!
Hosted by Brian Kondrach and Carrie Grant
Our ears perk up as we swing back to a Jim Carrey comedy with the 2008 animated film, Horton Hears a Who. This is the first full length voice acting job for Jim, having only previously voiced an exterminator in Itsy, Bitsy Spider in 1992. We discuss that this is the second Dr. Seuss film for Carrey, how difficult it is to appreciate his performance without seeing his eyes, and just how crazy life can be when mob mentality takes control.
Hosted by Brian Kondrach and Carrie Grant .
Join us next time for Yes Man!
Things get really dark and demented in the The Number 23. This 2007 film is a big leap from tried and true Jim Carrey comedy movies. This thriller pushes him, his costars, and the audience to places they never expected. Coincidences pile up, secrets get unearthed, and we discuss what it really means to face the consequences of our actions.
Hosted by Brian Kondrach and Carrie Grant
Join us next time for Horton Hears a Who!
We get pushed to the breaking point after watching Fun with Dick and Jane. This 2005 film deals with the fallout when a global company tanks, similar to what happened with Enron. Jim Carrey and Tea Leoni have amazing chemistry and great comedic timing. We discuss how eerily similar it feels to being stuck at home, how injuries on set can make for some of the funniest moments of film and how a strong cast doesn't necessarily mean a box office success.
Hosted by Brian Kondrach and Carrie Grant
Join us next time for The Number 23!
We need a moment after watching a dark and dreary movie such as LSASOUE. We discuss how this is a great rainy day movie, just how many recognizable faces are in it, and what it must be like to be an actor acting as an actor acting as another character.
Hosted by Brian Kondrach and Carrie Grant

We're really in our head this week after watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. This deeply emotional work makes you wonder just what would happen if someone deleted you from their memory, why creeps really screw it up for the rest of us, and what it means to grow through trauma. If you haven't seen this movie in a while, now might be a good time for a rewatch.

Join us next time for Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.
Jim reconnects with Shadyac and Odenkirk and we see God this week after watching Bruce Almighty. We talk about what happens when you aren't true to yourself, how great of a "jerk" Jim can be, and the introduction of Steve Carrell. We also discuss how real the on-camera relationship is between Jim and Jennifer and how cool it would be if Morgan Freeman was actually God.

We rediscover what life is all about in this dramatic story of a lost son returning home. Or at least they THINK he has returned. We talk about the craziness of the 50's, why whispering ISN'T acting, and what it means to be from a small town.

We take a trip to Whoville to celebrate the holidays with Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas. We discuss the torture of the make-up chair, what is the meaning of Christmas, and Jim's ability to express emotion in heaving prosthetics.

Join us next time for The Majestic.
This week we're reuniting with the Farrelly brothers to watch Me, Myself, and Irene. We discuss what it means to be a black comedy, Jim's ability to switch between personalities, and his "return to comedy," as some were calling it at the time.
Hosted by Brian Kondrach and Carrie Grant.
