In reference, and deference, to the 1994 triple-whammy that turned Jim Carrey into an overnight sensation (ten years in the making), this month’s Electronic Labyrinth sees Luke and Fletcher race through Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask and Dumb and Dumber, and The Cable Guy, The Truman Show and Man on the Moon; explore what comedy meant to the box office in the ’80s and ’90s, and Carrey’s place in it; and plot the contemporary extinction of the blockbuster comedy.
