Come for the episode, stay for some of the greatest practical effects ever put to film. And be sure to follow us on social @revengeof90spod!

It's Super Bowl week, so we're covering one of the premier Super Bowl films of the '90s in 1994's "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective," the movie that really put Jim Carrey on the map. This was the year that really catapulted Carrey to true stardom, and it all started with an incredibly bizarre premise that could have only been handled by a comedic force like him.
