An expansive, five-part 45 minute making-of with cast and crew interviews.

We find notes from the Farrellys, Damon, Kinnear, Thomas, Wessler and special make-up designer Tony Gardner. The latter participant dominates the show as he lets us know about the design of the conjoined rig, the various challenges and its execution. We also learn about general issues and the way the actors related to each other.

Through interviews with the Farrelly Brothers, the producers of the film and Jeff Daniels we learn about casting decisions, how the script was proved to be a very tough sell to certain studio parties, and about the relationship that developed between Daniels and Carrey on set and how the worked on some specific scene details together. Apparently the Farrelly Brothers sold the producers on the movie by acting out scenes in the office, and initially Steve Martin and Martin Short were wanted for the leads. While Carrey himself isn't interviewed here (which is a shame), there are plenty of clips of his antics from the film used to highlight certain moments in here.

Comments from the Farrellys, Thomas, Wessler, Damon, Kinnear, and actors Ray “Rocket” Valliere, Wen Yan Shih, Lawyer Milloy and Tom Brady. They chat about the origins of the film and its slow path to the screen, casting, the story and character development, disabilities in the film, and their use of athletes in cameos.
