We have reached the glittering grand finale of our Pride Month celebration on We Drink & We Watch Things, and we are going out in style! For our "T" selection in the lineup, we are packing our bags, boarding a battered lavender bus named Priscilla, and heading deep into the Australian outback with Stephan Elliott's iconic 1994 masterpiece, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Pour yourself something absolutely fabulous - perhaps Lemar's It's Not Purple, It's Lavender cocktail - as we journey into the heart of the desert, where the heels are high and the survival instincts are higher.This week, we celebrate the extraordinary trio at the center of this road trip: Hugo Weaving's conflicted Tick/Mitzi, Guy Pearce's chaotic, high-energy Adam/Felicia, and Terrence Stamp's absolutely sublime, deeply dignified performance as Bernadette, a trans woman navigating grief and a world that rarely understands her. We bask in the film's legendary visual triumphs - from the towering silver lamé gown on top of the bus to the jaw-dropping lip-sync numbers in the middle of nowhere - and break down Oscar-winning costumes that managed to turn flip-flops into high fashion. Most importantly, we examine the film's striking balance between brilliant camp comedy and raw, necessary commentary on homophobia, transphobia, and the revolutionary act of queer joy simply refusing to hide.If you've ever wanted to watch three drag queens conquer the outback to the tune of Gloria Gaynor, or if you just want to hear us rave about a film that changed the landscape of queer cinema forever, this is the curtain call you've been waiting for. We're blending our deep adoration for this vibrant classic with our usual casual banter to bring our Pride Month run to a triumphant, sequin-covered close.

On episode 153 of the Director Watch Podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter discuss the next film in their Christopher Nolan series, Memento (2001). Welcome back to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, the boys attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. After making his debut film and showcasing it at film festivals around the world, Christopher Nolan caught the attention of audiences and studios, given small prizes and a chance to level up with his next film with resources needed to make his latest mind trip work. In getting those resources, he was able to make Memento, a crime thriller spliced together within the present and the past that showcases a broken man recreating a mystery over and over again to run away from the trauma he inflicted years ago. With this second feature, Nolan announced himself as a force to be reckoned with, as Memento is a deeply personal, heartbreaking looking in the mind of someone who simple wants to forget. Ryan and Jay break down their thoughts on the film, Leonard's secrets past and his plan to keep his secrets at bay, Nolan's use of black and white photography mixed with the scenes of color and how they play with time, the incredible performance of Guy Pearce, and the morality found within the shocking ending. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. You can also listen on the AW YouTube page. This podcast runs 2h05m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Christopher Nolan with a review of his next film, Insomnia. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it.

Dana and Tom with returning guest, Heather Stewart (The Revisionist Almanac's Senior European Correspondent), discuss Memento (2001) - celebrating its 25th Anniversary: written and directed by Christopher Nolan, cinematography by Wally Pfister, music by David Julyan, editing by Dody Dom, starring Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Joe Pantoliano.Plot Summary: Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce) is a man driven by a single, desperate purpose: to find and kill the man who raped and murdered his wife. However, his quest is complicated by a rare, untreatable form of anterograde amnesia—a result of the same attack—which leaves him unable to store new memories for more than a few minutes. To navigate a world that constantly resets, Leonard relies on an intricate system of Polaroid photos, handwritten notes, and permanent tattoos etched across his body to track his progress and identify his allies and enemies. As the film unfolds in a unique, non-linear structure that mirrors Leonard's own disorientation, he must piece together the fragmented truth of his past while questioning the reliability of his own "facts" and the motives of those claiming to help him.Guest:Heather StewartThe Revisionist Almanac's Senior European Correspondent@heatherjstewart on IG, X, LetterboxdPreviously on Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979), Requiem for a Dream (2000), Little Miss Sunshine (2006)Chapters:00:00 Introduction, Cast, and Background for Memento04:45 Welcome Back, Heather Stewart05:33 Heather's Reverence for Chris Nolan06:40 Relationship(s) with Memento16:32 Is Memento the Skeleton Key of Nolan Films?21:34 Where Does Memento Rank Among Christopher Nolan Films?29:35 Plot Summary for Memento30:48 What is Memento About?39:12 Did You Know?45:21 What's Happening with Heather Stewart?48:46 Best Performance(s)01:02:36 Best Scene(s)01:08:53 Second Break01:10:04 Best/Funniest Lines01:12:59 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy01:20:52 The Stanley Rubric - Impact/Significance01:28:06 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty01:30:58 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness01:36:49 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability01:42:59 The Stanley Rubric - Audience Score and Final Total01:45:31 Remaining Questions for Memento01:57:26 Thank You to Heather and Remaining Thoughts02:00:40 CreditsYou can also find this episode in full video on YouTube.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast).For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/memento-2001-ft-heather-stewartFor the entire rankings list so far, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/greatest-movie-of-all-time-listKeywords:Memento, Christopher Nolan, film analysis, memory, storytelling, film history, Nolan's films, psychological thriller, film critique, psychological thriller, narrative structure, film legacy, impact, rewatchability, film theory, movie discussionRonny Duncan Studios

“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.

This week on Movie Mistrial, we step into the smoky, shadowy world of corruption, glamour, and noir intrigue as we take on Curtis Hanson's L.A. Confidential.L.A. Confidential is a masterful neo-noir thriller, blending sharp writing, atmospheric direction, and powerhouse performances from Guy Pearce, Russell Crowe, and Kevin Spacey. Its intricate web of crime, politics, and scandal captures the dark allure of 1950s Los Angeles, delivering a stylish, tightly constructed mystery that continues to stand among the best of its genre.While widely praised, some critics argue that the film's complexity borders on convoluted. Its dense plot, rapid twists, and sprawling ensemble can feel overwhelming, and the glossy noir aesthetic may overshadow deeper emotional connection for some viewers.Join us as we peel back the layers of L.A.

We continue our look at Los Angeles-set neo-noir films, this time with the 1997 Academy Award-winning L.A. Confidential. Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, and Kevin Spacey star as three very different LAPD detectives in a changing city where some cops embrace the corruption, some look the other way, and some are determined to root it out. An investigation into a series of murders in 1950s Los Angeles threatens to expose what's really going on beneath the sunny, shiny surface. Based on the novel by James Ellroy, L.A. Confidential was directed by Curtis Hanson and also stars Kim Basinger, James Cromwell, Danny DeVito, David Strathairn, and Ron Rifkin. It was nominated for 9 Oscars including Best Picture, winning two: Best Supporting Actress, Kim Basinger; and Best Adapted Screenplay, Brian Helgeland and Curtis Hanson.

The film received a massive wave of critical support after its long film festival run, which led to industry recognition, a historic Best Director win for Bigelow, making her the first female winner of the category, and Best Picture itself. The film follows an Iraq War Explosive Ordnance Disposal team who are targeted by insurgents and shows their psychological reactions to the stress of combat. Oscar-winning screenwriter Marc Boal drew on his experience during embedded access to write the screenplay. How does it hold up 16 years later?
