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

This episode of Box Office Bucket List is a holiday special where hosts Tim, Andrew, Adam, and Katie (plus a guest) watch and riff on the 2000 live-action How the Grinch Stole Christmas starring Jim Carrey. The conversation includes behind-the-scenes notes about Jim Carrey's performance and makeup, character moments with Cindy Lou Who and Martha May, and why the Grinch hates the holidays.

The hosts go off on comedic tangents—sharing personal Christmas stories, debates about which Grinch adaptation they prefer, and observations about supporting performances (Molly Shannon, Bill Irwin) and recurring motifs like Dr. Seuss-style rhymes. They discuss the movie’s darker moments, the infamous Christmas-stealing sequence, and the film’s emotional payoff when the Grinch’s heart changes.
