#5 – The Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind and Memory

Remember me?

Episode Notes

In this episode, Dave looks at the effects of a treatment that doesn't exist. What would happen to our brains if we could magically remove the bad memories (and who hasn't thought of that?)? Additionally, he remembers how amazing this movie is, and just how crazy talented Charlie Kaufman can be. Listen as Dave focuses on a movie that should be a great deal more popular and known.
