My guests on this episode are part of a pilot for a potential new series called “Woodstockers”. The show will have its world premiere at SxSW beginning today, Saturday, March 14. On this episode is the show runner and cast members Corbin Bernsen (“LA Law”, “My Friends and Neighbors), director Oliver Bernsen and cast member, and very recent podcast guest, Stephen Tobolowsky (“Groundhog Day”, “Memento”). https://youtu.be/eIH0MpklhHQ In the summer of ’69, Lenny Baker and his best friend Calvin Reddick went to Woodstock. What they witnessed there changed their lives, so much so that they decided to never go home again. Armed with a vision of a new path forward, they built a life in upstate New York alongside Rebecca and Lizzy, two women they met at the festival and married soon after. Decades of willful detachment followed, but every trip has its comedown. Now, more than half a century later and with his marriage up in smoke, Lenny is forced to face a hard truth: the better world they once envisioned never quite arrived… and if it ever does, he won’t be around to see it. Calvin’s sudden death makes that painfully clear.
A man with no short-term memory searches for his wife's killer. Special guest Jason Torres joins us to discuss Oscar predictions, the importance of establishing shots, and bonked-on-the-head amnesia. Then we see if Memento stands the Test of Time.

“I have to believe in a world outside my own mind.” Join Ian, Liam, Megs & Kev for our 321st episode as we piece together Polaroids, tattoos, and fragments of memory in Christopher Nolan's mind-bending thriller Memento (2000). This week the BFE timeline runs forward, backward, and occasionally sideways — and somewhere in the chaos a mystery guest drops in to help us figure out what actually happened. This week we discuss: Christopher Nolan's narrative construction — reverse chronology, fragmented storytelling, and whether genius sometimes requires a second viewing… or a flowchart. Guy Pearce's Leonard Shelby — sympathetic victim, unreliable narrator, or architect of his own personal myth? The two timelines — black-and-white clarity vs colour confusion. How the film weaponises structure to manipulate the audience. Megs explores memory as identity — if you can't remember who you are, can you still be responsible for what you do? Ian breaks down Nolan's early thematic obsessions — time, perception, control, and why Memento feels like the blueprint for the rest of his career. Liam questions the film's internal logic — how much of Leonard's system actually works, and how much depends on blind faith? Natalie and Teddy — manipulators, victims, opportunists, or something much harder to categorise? The mechanics of storytelling — how the film reveals information while simultaneously making us doubt it. Our mystery guest joins us — helping us untangle the film's structure and asking whether understanding Memento actually improves it. The ending (or beginning?) — revelation, tragedy, or the ultimate self-deception. And finally, whether Memento is the Best Film Ever — or simply one of the most brilliantly constructed puzzles cinema has ever produced.

What is it like to be a brain surgeon? How much of our personality is determined by brain structure? Do we truly have free will or is it an illusion created by neural processes? Will there ever be a cure for dementia? And could artificial intelligence replace neurosurgeons? In this episode of Good Is In The Details, hosts Gwendolyn Dolske, Ph.D., and Rudy Salo sit down with renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Theodore Schwartz, author of Gray Matters: A Biography of Brain Surgery, to explore the intersection of neuroscience, philosophy, medical ethics, and culture. Dr. Schwartz offers a rare, inside look at what it means to operate on the human brain: the organ that houses memory, identity, personality, and consciousness itself. From the evolution of brain surgery to cutting-edge research, he explains how the brain functions, how structure shapes behavior, and why understanding neuroplasticity is essential to both medicine and human development. The conversation moves into the philosophical debate of free will vs. determinism. If our thoughts, impulses, and decisions arise from neural circuitry, do we truly choose — or are we the product of biology? Is the "mind" something distinct from the brain, or is it an emergent property of physical processes? Drawing on pop culture references like Star Trek, Memento, and Gattaca, this episode connects neuroscience with questions long explored in philosophy and science fiction. The discussion also addresses: How brain injuries alter personality The future of dementia research The promise and limits of neuroplasticity Why AI is unlikely to replace human neurosurgeons What makes brain surgery uniquely human Dr. Schwartz explains why, despite advances in artificial intelligence, neurosurgery requires intuition, judgment, and embodied skill that cannot be automated. This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in: medical ethics neuroscience and consciousness the philosophy of mind free will and determinism dementia and brain health AI in medicine how identity is shaped by the brain The brain is the seat of personality, memory, and moral agency. Understanding how it functions challenges our assumptions about responsibility, autonomy, and what it means to be human. Through thoughtful dialogue, Good Is In The Details bridges philosophy and real-world expertise, offering listeners tools to think more deeply about science, ethics, and the nature of consciousness.

“Death in battle for God's sake is better than a shameful and sluggish life.” There is always a lion for the man who does not want to begin. Always a reason. Always a danger. Always a wiser moment to wait for. And so he remains on the road his entire life. Careful. Thoughtful. Unbloodied. Unchanged. St. Isaac is merciless here. Much wisdom can damn a soul. Not the wisdom that fears God, but the kind that calculates and delays obedience. The man who watches the winds never sows. The man who weighs every risk never enters the fight. The simple man jumps into the water. He does not negotiate with fear. He does not preserve his body. He burns with first ardor and moves. This is what we lack. Not knowledge. Fire. The way is filled with blood. Blood means loss. Blood means humiliation. Blood means the death of the life you hoped to keep. If you wish to begin, hold your death in your mind. Remember the day after your burial. Let eternity crush your attachment to this present age. Hope in this life weakens the soul. Do not begin with a divided heart. Divided labor exhausts and yields nothing. God does not give grace in proportion to our techniques but according to the ardor of love and the boldness of faith. “As thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee.” Some beat their heads in repentance. Some drown in prostrations. Some burn in psalmody. Some are seized into silence. There are many forms. But all give themselves without reserve. Then comes the ruin. One tastes and turns back. One tastes a little and grows proud. One is enslaved by ambition. One by vainglory. One by greed. One by habit. One begins well and does not endure. These are the lions. Not in the street. In the heart. The one who stands firm does not turn back until he receives the pearl. He begins again and again. He refuses slackness. He does not wait for ideal conditions. He does not demand guarantees. Always begin. If the heart is pure from passion and doubt, God Himself raises the soul. Not because it was clever. Not because it was impressive. But because it believed and stepped onto the blood-stained road without bargaining. Begin. Or die still talking about the journey. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:07:55 Fr.

Host Victor opens by recapping the podcast's current coverage: weekly breakdowns of The Pitt season 2 with his wife Kim (a medical PA), discussion of Industry, and a recommendation to watch the Game of Thrones prequel A Night of the Seven Kingdoms (six-episode season, renewed for season 2). He also notes a Christopher Nolan rewatch series (Following and Memento). He invites feedback via email and Spotify/YouTube comments and asks listeners to share the show. Victor and Kim then discuss The Pitt episode 6, directed by Noah Wyle (his first directing credit on the show). They describe it as more “mundane” in plot but possibly the best episode of the season due to staff camaraderie and subtle emotional beats. A central throughline is the death of frequent-flyer patient Louie, which the staff grieves, contrasted with new doctor Ogilvy's detached comments. They discuss how ER staff form relationships with frequent flyers and the episode's late reveal that Louie's chronic drinking followed a car accident that killed his pregnant wife. A major theme is the “invisible work” of nurses: Perlah's grief, Dana cleaning Louie's body, behind-the-scenes patient prep, and how experienced nurses and advanced practitioners often run workflows and handle details. Kim relates this to real practice, including ICU and ER routines and how PAs/NPs frequently have more laceration-repair experience than attending physicians. They also touch on what happens to unclaimed bodies (morgue, possible cremation) and note the episode's visual focus on a homeless patient as part of a broader theme of dignity for underserved people. They cover other episode storylines: an incarcerated, malnourished patient whom Dr. Al-Hashimi wants to help despite bed pressures; Dana appears to manipulate an oxygen monitor reading (tape is implied) to keep him from being discharged; and a new competent nurse who arrives mid-shift, prompting discussion of ER shift overlap and staffing. They discuss a law student experiencing a first psychotic episode and how wording like “what's wrong with him” can alarm family members. Victor and Kim analyze a cancer patient on home hospice who refuses to leave the hospital, with a death doula present. Kim suspects heavy pain medication (including ketamine and long-acting morphine) could lead to respiratory compromise, while Victor wonders if the patient is trying to die away from her husband. They also discuss Santos being behind on notes, a comedic/critical AI documentation thread (including errors like urologist vs neurologist and incorrect surgical history), and broader electronic medical record and faxing frustrations. Additional medical beats include the waitress developing a life-threatening infection leading to an above-knee amputation, a patient demanding repeated D-dimer testing despite being on Eliquis, and Kim explaining what a D-dimer is and how unnecessary testing increases costs. They discuss translation access for hearing-impaired and non-English-speaking patients via video interpreter services. Character moments include Joy revealing she wants to be a pathologist to avoid patient interaction, and a motorcycle knee-laceration case using fluorescein to check joint involvement. They end by noting Louie dies from pulmonary hemorrhage (Kim would have liked more foreshadowing) and Kim shares a real trauma case involving an alcoholic with liver failure who died from bleeding after a minor accident. Victor briefly previews Drops of God season 2 episode “Brothers and Sisters,” highlighting themes of sibling conflict and a toxic Georgian sibling relationship, and says they will discuss the current and next episode later. Victor closes with reminders about ongoing Industry coverage, the Nolan rewatch, upcoming premieres, and holiday/Valentine's greetings. 00:00 Welcome + What We're Covering on the Podcast This Week 00:35 Why You Should Watch ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' (GOT Spinoff Pitch) 02:32 Other Ongoing Coverage: Industry, Nolan Rewatch, and What's Next with Sona 03:58 Subscribe, Feedback, and Quick Programming Notes (Drops of God Tease) 04:50 Episode 6 Kickoff: Why This Might Be the Best ‘The Pit' of the Season 06:26 Louis' Death as the Emotional Through-Line (and Ogilvy's Cold Take) 09:16 The ‘Invisible Work': Nurses, Body Care, and Behind-the-Scenes Medicine 13:02 NP/PA Skills in the ER: Suturing, Lacerations, and Who Really Closes Wounds 15:30 Frequent Flyers & What Happens When No One Claims a Body 17:50 Underserved Patients Theme: Homeless Man, Inmate Case, and Bending the Rules 22:03 Dana Steps Up + The New Nurse Mystery (Shifts, Overlap, and Staffing) 24:48 Psychosis Case Update: Communicating Uncertainty to Family 26:13 End-of-Life Cancer Patient: Husband Dynamics and Pain Med Risks 28:17 End-of-Life Choices: Hospice, Dignity, and ‘I Don't Want to Leave' 30:00 Santos' Rough Week: Sleep Deprivation, Garcia, and AI Note Chaos 31:30 AI in Medicine vs Reality: Dictation Errors, Copy-Paste Charts, and Fax Machines 33:55 The Waitress Case Turns Critical: Above-Knee Amputation & Medical Anxiety 35:20 ER Testing 101: D-Dimer, Patient Demands, and Healthcare Costs 37:38 Communication Barriers: Sign Language, iPad Interpreters, and Future AI Translation 39:54 Joy & Ogilvy Career Talk: Why Pathology Is the ‘Hard Pass' Specialty 41:33 Motorcycle Knee Laceration Workup: Fluorescein Joint Injection Explained 42:53 Louis' Death & Pulmonary Hemorrhage: Humanizing the Staff + A Trauma Story 46:02 Drops of God Check-In: ‘Brothers and Sisters' and Where the Season's Headed 49:22 Wrap-Up: Upcoming Pods (Industry, Nolan Rewatch) and Farewell

On episode 332 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by AwardsWatch Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson and AwardsWatch contributors Dan Bayer, Jay Ledbetter, and Josh Parham to go back 25 years and take a look at the 74th Academy Awards, covering the films of 2001. On this retrospective, the AW team starts the year off with a look back at a solid year of film in 2001, that brought together some of the most memorable films of the last 25 years. But the winner for Best Picture is not one held in high regard, as A Beautiful Mind took home the top prize, a make-up win for director Ron Howard after losing for Apollo 13. While the film hasn't aged well as a winner, and even as a film, the year has with spectacular films that are mentioned throughout the show like In the Mood for Love, Mulholland Drive, Gosford Park, Memento, Ghost World, The Royal Tenenbaums, In the Bedroom, Hedwig and the Angry Itch, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, and more. In their in-depth discussion, the AW team talked about the film year of 2001, briefly discuss talk about A Beautiful Mind as a Best Picture winner, and how that speaks to the legacy of their nominates and or wins, do an extensive conversation over the below the line categories and nominees for the year, and then the new version of the AW Shoulda Woulda Coulda game, where instead of individual replacements, they must decide as a group who the nominees and winners should be in the top eight categories. The rules of the game state they can only replace two of the nominees that year from each category, except in Best Picture, where the group could replace up to three films to make up the final set of five nominated films. Like past retrospective episodes, it was a fascinating, fun conversation including spirited debates, alliances, vote swinging, celebrating various movies, performances that aren't normally talked about and more that we all hope you enjoy. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. You can also listen to it on our AwardsWatch YouTube page. This podcast runs 2h06m. We will be back in next week for a review of the latest film from director Emerald Fennell, Wuthering Heights. Till then, let's get into it. Music: "Modern Fashion" from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), "B-3" from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

Memento OP and Snorlax Legbeard saga: https://www.youtube.com/playli... Welcome to r/LegbeardStories, where the cringe is real and the stories are even realer. Today's saga? Strap in for a wild ride through brain fog, broken memories, and one of the most aggressive legbeards ever documented. This isn't your average neckbeard cringe—this is next-level gaslighting, obsessive stalking, and a survivor story that rivals Memento for sheer mind-bending chaos. Meet TC: a promising lacrosse star turned amnesiac after a brutal on-field accident. While struggling to rebuild his life through occupational therapy, he stumbles into the crosshairs of “AD”—an unhinged, manipulative legbeard with a passion for bright clothing, unsolicited anime fan art, and rewriting reality to fit her own deranged narrative. This is not a drill: she stalks, she gaslights, she tries to rewrite his memories… and she's NOT taking “no” for an answer. What starts as a simple therapy story quickly turns into a psychological thriller, with AD escalating from awkward texts to full-on kidnapping attempts in a Mazda covered with anime bumper stickers. When the main character literally has to write “DON'T TRUST HER” on his hand just to keep his story straight, you know you're in deep internet legend territory. This is the kind of neckbeard story you just can't make up. ------------------------------------------------------------ #LegbeardStories #TrueStory #GaslightingSurvivor #TherapyHorror #NeckbeardSaga Discord: https://discord.gg/Sju7YckUWu Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/daytondo...

Message us ANONYMOUSLYSo, someone involved with marketing/promoting this new Dutch movie “Reedland” (2025 d. Sven Bresser) reached out to us. They were like “wanna do…whatever it is you do, we don't really know/care, with it,” and we were like “how did you find us? Are you sure YOU think this is a good idea?” They were like “yep. Watch it and do the dance.” And we're like "uuummm, OK.” Then we did the episode, and sent it to them for approval. They were like “wow. Approved. Give these chimps the Nobel Peace Prize.” So, we're just waiting for that now.

In this episode, we break down MEMENTO — Christopher Nolan's mind-bending thriller that tells its story backward to put the audience inside the head of its main character. We analyze how the film's reverse structure forces viewers to experience confusion, uncertainty, and self-deception just like Leonard. We dive into the themes of memory, truth, and identity, and explain why Memento isn't just a puzzle movie — it's a psychological trap designed to make you question every decision being made. From the tattoos to the Polaroids, we break down how Nolan turned storytelling itself into the movie's biggest twist. Chapters: 00:00 What an insane concept 4:41 Explaining Memento 18:54 How this movie came to be 25:08 Explaining the structure 28:44 The details you may have missed 34:20 The movie is actually kinda funny 40:16 Scenes that secretly reveal Leonards mind 44:50 Insane this is Nolan's second movie ever 47:46 Why are movie theaters dying? 53:53 The seemingly pointless scene 58:45 Our official rating & final thoughts 1:02:38 Cue the music

Thank you to our sponsor, Mantle. Sign up for their hackathon here!After a “weird” year in the markets, hosts Ram Ahluwalia and Christopher Perkins are joined by Ava Labs' President John Wu for a candid debate about where crypto really is in the cycle—and what needs to happen next. The panel wrestles with a question many investors are quietly asking: has the market washed out enough to set up the next move, or is something still missing? They explore why momentum has faded, what signs would suggest it's coming back, and why 2026 keeps coming up in long-term conversations—even as near-term enthusiasm remains divided. Plus, why TGEs are “dying” and, with the rise of super apps, does Coinbase has an edge on Web2 players like Robinhood?
