Welcome to Nol-vember, where we dedicate the entire month to the mind-bending masterpieces of director Christopher Nolan! We're kicking things off with the early, groundbreaking film that put him on the map: "Memento (2000)."

This isn't just a movie; it's a psychological experiment that places the audience directly into the disoriented mind of its protagonist, Leonard Shelby. We dive deep into the film's revolutionary non-linear structure told in two interwoven timelines. This structure forces us to question everything Leonard writes on his Polaroids, tattoos onto his body, and tells himself.

Join us as we discuss his tattoos, the Sammy Jankis parallel, and what is his identity without memory. The film's core philosophical question is: If our memory is what makes us who we are, who is Leonard Shelby when his memory resets every few minutes?

Prepare for a disorienting, exhilarating analysis of the film that cemented Christopher Nolan's reputation as a master of cinematic structure.

Knights of the Drunk Podcast Knights of the Drunk Watch We drink and we watch things!We are the Knights of the Drunk Watch, a group of creative friends that get together each week to celebrate all the things you enjoy coupled with a stiff drink! The Dragon's Flow Teacast The Dragon's Treasure and Analog Drift We are a group of like-minded individuals who like both tea and anime (and other nerdly things) and love to talk about both! Listen every week as we talk about the tea we drink and the anime we watch! Rosé All Day Anyways Erika Atkins & Katie Rainey Who are we? Just two nerdy creative-types who love spreadsheets as much as theatre camp and graffiti walls (not the kind you’re thinking, see def: arts education). But this podcast isn’t about that, or, wait, maybe it is? We’re not limiting ourselves. But rest assured, in this conversational cast, we’ll touch on everything from arts education to politics to boy bands and, of course, all things rosé. Erika Atkins & Katie Rainey are two hot messes who somehow manage to keep pretty good jobs, do a shit ton of community organizing, run their own businesses, make art, and still have time to watch The Bachelor and drink rosé. And, like, we totally know anyways isn’t grammatically correct. Go shout into a dictionary already. Two or More Lee Gordon Maybe you’re a new believer and you have a ton of questions. Heck maybe you're pretty seasoned in it and still have them. Maybe you aren’t a believer at all and have them? That’s cool cause, so do we. Everyone has them. Questions like, should we drink? Should we smoke cigarettes or even marijuana if it gets fully legalized? What should we support and what should we not? Should we play violent video games, watch violent sporting events and wild movies? Should you eat that last doughnut? The list goes on. So let’s dive in and really try to come to some level of understanding together. Here, using the Bible first and an ample dash of comedy tossed in a witty rhetoric reduction, we, the average person, will do our best to talk about topics we as Christians will have as we navigate this thing called life. Questions that some of us may not feel comfortable talking about in our circles because of how it may appear to others. We can’t promise you that you can expect be smarter afterwards bu
