    Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: Why You Need Your Memories
    Feb 1 2024
    Would it be better to forget than remember when pain is involved? We try to answer that question in our PATREON picked episode on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. We analyze the two main characters: Clementine & Joel. We also rip apart the ethics (or lack thereof) behind the “medical professionals” responsible for the forgetting procedure. Join us as we try to outrun the memory police!

    Thank you, Kayla!
