  • E75 - Liar Liar (1997)
    Jun 30 2022

    Today we watched Liar Liar, a film where Jim Carrey is dubiously disabled because he plays a lawyer who suddenly cannot lie, and is therefore unable to function. We also discuss being stranded in the rain with a power chair, the risk of running over a tube of toothpaste, and times we've accidentally injured ourselves under absurd circumstances.
