Do you realize the number 23 is saturated throughout our society, linking conspiracies and history, and tying the world together as if it were all a cruel mathematical joke? If you’re anything like Walter Sparrow, you’ll scribble the final chapter of your book on a hotel wall and then jump out the window.
This week, we are joined by Daniel Johnson of Assignment Magazine & The Paris Review. Daniel helps us work our way through Joel Schumacher’s The Number 23 (2007), a psuedo-psychological thriller starring Jim Carrey, Virginia Madsen, and Logan Lerman.
The Number 23 is one of the better films we’ve watched, but it suffers of a confusing story-within-a-story nested plot, perplexing casting and acting choices, and laughable plot turns.
We finish the episode with another round of 20 Questions. Of course, we’d much rather answer your questions! Send us listener mail at TheCriticalBreakdownPodcast@gmail.com or leave it in a review for us on iTunes!
