What if The Butterfly Effect doesn't actually begin with the first version of Evan Treborn?
Sonita joins Dom to revisit one of the most memorable psychological thrillers of the 2000s: The Butterfly Effect.
We discuss why the film has stuck with us for more than 20 years, Ashton Kutcher's performance, the disturbing childhood storyline, the different versions of Evan, Kayleigh, Tommy and Lenny, and the movie's four alternate endings.
Then we go deep into the mechanics of Evan's ability. How exactly does the time travel work? What happens to the version of Evan whose life he takes over? Why do some changes completely rewrite his future while others barely change anything? And are all of those mysterious childhood blackouts really what they initially appear to be?
That leads to our biggest theory: the Evan we meet at the beginning of the movie may already be the product of previous, erased timelines.
We examine the childhood murder drawing, the knife incident, Evan's father, the prison hand-scarring paradox and the asylum timeline to see whether the movie's own rules can explain them — and where those rules completely break down.
Plus: the novelization, deleted material, the bizarre Butterfly Effect sequels, behind-the-scenes details, the movie's themes, and where it ranks among our favourite psychological thrillers.
