Episode 4: Memento

Hello and welcome to The Movie Plaza, a weekly entertainment podcast where I, Alysha Plaza watch, analyze, and rank the IMDB Top 100 Movies Watchlist in an approachable way that is aimed at those with a more general sense of film analysis. *TRIGGER WARNING: MENTIONS OF RAPE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT* Episode #4 on Memento is going to be different than normal as I do the show segments a backwards which is fitting considering the movie. I still start with an overview but then we will jump right into the Plaza Pops ranking portion where I give the movie a 1-10 score based on plot, characters, cinematography, and overall watchability/ entertainment value. After that we will discuss the movie’s chronological  structure and how it affects our perception of the events and characters as well as how it mirrors the main character’s condition. After that is the breakdown of events which I have opted top tell in in chronological order as opposed to how it is shown in the film. This means that there will be major spoilers so if you want to watch the movie and not have it spoiled you can feel free to skip it using the timestamps below. The Episode will then close with a few words followed by a preview of the movie for next week.
