Description

A treat for Freda in this weeks episode on the Charlie Kaufman/Michel Gondry frolic in the mind of Jim Carey: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Surprisingly, there is a lot of great science in this episode, on what memories mean to us, and how they are formed and persist throughout our lives. Yeah, so it's a serious episode. Not sorry!

If they did it, how would they do it?
