#225 – Memento | Directed by Christopher Nolan (with Anna)

Tune in as Anna (@banananna024/@formergleek) returns to their guest seat for a breakdown of Memento, the 2000 neo-noir thriller film about a former insurance claims investigator who uses notes, Polaroids, and tattoos to navigate his way through anterograde amnesia and hunt down whoever is responsible for killing his wife and giving him this memory disorder in the first place. The unusual path that this movie takes for its nonlinear storytelling, the war propaganda of Black Hawk Down, doubting the belief that Nolan is a pompous human being, and his inclination towards fridged wives and reunions with children emerge as some of the topics for this episode.Directed by Christopher Nolan, Memento stars Guy Pearce, Joe Pantoliano, Carrie-Anne Moss, Mark Boone Junior, Stephen Tobolowsky, Harriet Sansom Harris, Jorja Fox, Callum Keith Rennie, Thomas Lennon, Larry Holden, Kimberly Campbell, Russ Fega, and Marianne Muellereile.Spoilers start at 39:05Memento Explanation by Christopher Nolan - True Genius - Must WatchMEMENTO - Commentary by Christopher Nolan“Memento Mori” by Jonathan NolanCreate your podcast today! #madeonzencastrHere’s how you can learn more about Palestine and IsraelHere’s how you can keep up-to-date on this genocideHere’s how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected onlineGood Word: • Anna: Riverdale• Arthur: Dissolution by Nicholas Binge Reach out at [email protected] if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!Be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes or any of your preferred podcasting platforms!Follow Arthur on Twitter, Goodpods, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, and TikTok: @arthur_ant18Follow Arthur on Bluesky: @arthur-ant18Follow the podcast on Twitter: @two_centscriticFollow the podcast on Instagram: @twocentscriticpodFollow Arthur on GoodreadsCheck out 2 Cents Critic Linktree
