Joe R. joins Spice World to go deep on Limitless, a movie in which an Italian man takes an 80mg Adderall and suddenly knows karate. We discuss Joe’s path from Ohio to Chicago to Thailand to Tampa, Donald Trump’s Sudafed habit, and the otherworldly allure of breast milk.
Limitless (2011) follows Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper), a struggling writer who discovers NZT-48, a powerful nootropic that unlocks his brain’s full potential. With heightened intelligence, Eddie quickly achieves success in writing and finance, drawing the attention of wealthy mogul Carl Van Loon (Robert De Niro). However, the drug comes with dangerous side effects, including blackouts, addiction, and deadly consequences. As Eddie becomes entangled in a web of power, ambition, and danger, he must outsmart those who seek to control or kill him.
