  • Rain Man | I'm an excellent driver | Episode 8
    May 15 2025

    On this episode of the Much Madness podcast, Carrie and Mackenzie tackle a monumental film and relevant topic with one of the most well-known characters in cinema - Dustin Hoffman's Raymond Babbitt in Rain Man (1988). Credited as the movie to bring awareness of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to the general public, Rain Man serves as a different type of road trip saga in telling a story of growth for both Raymond and his estranged brother Charlie (played by Tom Cruise). Tune in as the ladies take on the mental health myth centered on Autism and the conspiracy theory regarding its causation. Also included are Carrie's strong feelings about Tom Cruise.
