What happens to a man when he becomes the biggest star in the world overnight? The hair-raising documentary JIM & ANDY: THE GREAT BEYOND (2017) sees Jim Carrey reflecting on the experience of playing Andy Kaufman in Man on the Moon (1999), during which he claimed to fully inhabit the identity of the long-dead comedian. The film offers an unsparing depiction of what fame does to the human brain. PLUS: we look back at our childhood love of Carrey, and discuss Carrey as Ace Ventura AND Joe Biden.
