#033: (Pt. 1) Finding Dory / Memento
from The Next Picture Show · host Genevieve Koski, Keith Phipps, Tasha Robinson & Scott Tobias
The conceit behind Pixar's new FINDING DORY, about Ellen Degeneres' forgetful fish character, inspired us to talk about a very different film about memory and the limits thereof: Christopher Nolan's breakthrough feature MEMENTO. In this half, we consider the unsolvable mysteries of Nolan's film, how it fits into his larger body of work, and whether it qualifies as a noir. Plus, some contentious feedback from our SPINAL TAP/POPSTAR episodes. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about MEMENTO, FINDING DORY, or both by sending an email [email protected], or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.
