In this episode the hosts tackle the 2004 film The Butterfly Effect, walking through its time-travel premise, Evan’s blackout-driven memory gaps, and the journals he uses to try to fix his past. They recap major moments from childhood — the basement incident, the mailbox explosion, and the dog fire — and explain how those events ripple into multiple alternate lives.
The hosts debate key turning points and the film’s famously different endings, including the canonical choice and the darker director’s cut. They discuss characters like Lenny, Tommy, Kaylee and Evan’s father, the moral consequences of changing the past, and how small actions produce large, often tragic, results.
Evan really should have just let Lenny be happy
