Ace Ventura: Pet Detective with Uncle Mark and Uncle Allen

Sun, 17 May 2026 18:13:53 GMT

In our sixth episode, we watch the movie that introduced Jim Carrey to the world as a ridiculous, obnoxious, over-the-top pet detective--whatever that is. 1994 was an epic year for Jim Carrey; he released Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber. That was an entertaining year for teenage boys! Bobby, Mark, and Allen are definitely the target audience for this flick, but listen in to see if Layla appreciates slapstick comedy as much as they do and to see how this movie holds up thirty two years after its premiere.
