The fact that this video didn't start with "Bye everyone!" and end with "What's up guys!" is almost unforgivable.

[@MrXmoda]

thats too good...

[@monkeytiger2142]

Remake Memento but it’s about Kevin and Greg trying to piece together their trip to Sur La Table

[@Beesonal]

That Christopher Nolan chalk board video is nuts. Idk how you develop and hold a story in your head like that, that man is a genius

[@Olie986]

For anyone interested, the DVD version with all of the easter eggs that Tim was referring to is the 2 disc special edition where the packaging is made to look like Leonard's psychological case file. One of the coolest dvds I've ever owned, back when special edition actually meant something. After a quick search, it looks like used copies are still obtainable and not super expensive.

[@kyledion1346]

Fun Fact: Carrie Ann-Moss' Boyfriend in this movie was also the D.A. in Batman Begins.

[@MrRidred]

I love how Greg can have so much fun, just laughing at his own jokes. I guess he's truly ready to become a dad

[@dandevvers]

Memento is one of my favourite films and easily my favourite Nolan film

[@soukkhanhsila134]

I've been listening to these guys podcast for the last few months, this is the first time I have actually seen their faces and they look just as goofy as their voices.

[@ArkAynJoel]

Hot damn, Tim's hair is on point!

[@PezQ84]

Hell yes it is! He looks like a fancy lady from the 20's

[@DanielHodder7]

The "I did it" tattoo was a fantasy for him. His drive to kill this killer that doesn't exist anymore.

[@raulacosta5353]

I could’ve used a 5 hour discussion of this movie, from these guys! 1 hour just isn’t enough ! 😩 but it’s better than nothing. I can’t wait for the rest of the Nolan movies! 😁

[@joehaley1147]

"I'm Mothra... and you guys are the monsters NOBODY cares about!" "...Why wouldn't you be Godzilla?"

[@TheBadAssNcrRanger]

I care about them all, except for the Giant Condor lol.

[@thegood_part7676]

Lol Tim agressively saying Derrick Fisher.....who retired 6 years ago

[@kienandelaney933]

I really dug this format of the podcast as opposed to the plot recap. Hopefully we see more of this in the future!

[@aarons.2323]

I remember reading about this movie in the L.A. Times 2001 "Big List" that previewed every theatrical release that year (in print!), and knew right away I was going to love it just by the photo of Guy Pearce holding up the Polaroid of the car for Teddy to see. I'm not sure if anyone knew about the backwards timeline at that point, but a guy with short-term memory loss trying to solve his wife's murder? That alone sounded really cool. And then when the gimmick was revealed, it was so unlike anything else at the time. I once had a desire to write movies of my own someday, and Memento was the sort of movie I wish I could've come up with. Nolan gets some flack nowadays, but at that time for 19-year-old me (I'm old, but still not as old as Nick!) there wasn't a more imaginative filmmaker that Christopher Nolan. I wanted to see everything the man did after this, and when he got Batman I was so excited. Inception might be my favorite movie of his because I really love the aesthetic of the whole thing, but watching this again over the weekend made me remember that THIS movie is why I'm such a fan of his even if his track record isn't perfect. I don't think he'll ever do another movie with a budget less than $150 million now., but I'd love to see him try it. Whether it cost $9 million or $165 like Interstellar, I always see similarities (which is why so many people are convinced Tenet is a stealth Inception sequel).

[@MumonguGaming]

Guy Pearce starting out in Australian soap "Neighbours" Along with Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan

[@jordanmiller3535]

Thank you Tim for recommending that Christopher Nolan video🙏🏽

[@stevethibodeaux3764]

Guy Pearce was really good in LA Confidential as well

[@rickyticky7221]

This was my first time watching momento and I can confidently say it’s one of the most original movies I’ve ever seen

[@derekolson2864]

I absolutely love this movie. It gets better and better on rewatches too

[@BruceWayneBrady]

I think Greg got kicked by a mule. His random, insane ramblings are hilarious. Good job, Mothra! 🤣

[@TheNearsightedGamer]

Stopped and watched the video. Now I'm back.

[@Woozie87]

15 minutes is only his capacity when under stress, 45 minutes when unstressed , so i believe he can read 30 pages of that report at least if hes a fast reader

[@The_RedVIII]

I saw this movie in theaters when I was 16 and loved it. Had obviously no idea who Christopher Nolan was back then and only saw it because my girlfriend at the time wanted to see it. Glad she dragged me in there. I don't think Following was released theatrically where I live, so I can say I saw Nolans first theatrical released movie in a theater.

[@humike7]

Insomnia the movie and Insomnia the Stephen King book are two separate things.

[@Calum_Chrystal]

It was interesting to not really have a plot section in this episode although it is sad that that seems to significantly reduce the length of the video. Would have loved another hour or so in such an in depth movie. Regardless keep up the great work guys, with the two most rewarding in reviews so far. :)

[@MrXmoda]

im confused them saying this is a movie where you watch it once and go ok i dont need to watch that again?

[@KitchenerLeslie2]

The Xmoda yeah, that makes no sense. You can’t get the first viewing back, but it’s definitely rewatchable.

[@thehotel5758]

You should do Scorsese films in review.

[@MrXmoda]

Thats the ultimate

[@baundiesel]

Love this show! All of the best hosts without any of the fluff.

[@MumonguGaming]

Kevin is going to go Part-Time when you guys are back in the studio, due to him not having to crop and frame your images...lol

[@senshai1267]

Memento . Can't find words to describe how this movie changed my view on screenplay , and narrative writing .

[@MikeSW]

Memento features a performance by Joe Pantoliano that is not only strong, but - if I may be so bold - approaches his *strongest* work: Robot in the Family.

[@Nbz0]

Nick is right. In my opinion if a plot hole is glaring enough that it gets in the way of the story telling or pacing it is worth discussing. But you can have a great movie that has "plot holes." The "Everything Wrong With..." review culture has taught people to throw a whole movie out the window if they can "poke holes in the plot." It is an epidemic and its the killer of fun movie discussion. Facts: Most scripts, even the best ones, will not hold up to someone examining every single particle of the story letter for letter. Movies are about the pacing, the story telling, the editing, the images, the acting, and the sound/score and how it all comes together to make magic. You can learn through dissecting a movie, you do not have to like every movie by any means, but you can learn something through every movie. Critiquing does not have be angry or dismissive. You can not like something and still respect it and its creators. You can discuss movies for hours about their merits with friends that's what makes it fun! But when you try to take the "everything wrong with..." approach to reviewing, and nit pick everything you see like you think you are smart you lose the magic of movies to begin with. None of the boys acted like this to be clear! You just see so many KZbin vids that lose the fun and discussion and focus on the "plot hole, hot take" culture.

[@MarioNotBros]

Christopher Nolan has a fucking unbelievable mind

[@yitoji]

Tim's hair is perfect

[@so0pak5v9n]

6:02 "Is it a fact, i don't know, let's get to the truth with Scarpino"..... bonus, look at loveable Andy

[@Sam-jv6fb]

this intro rivals the LOTR one

[@pucochamp]

Dare I Say this is the best Nolan film. It's the smartest and most innovative for sure. A rich tapestry of story telling.

[@kawikaaukai]

Greg worked in a Godzilla reference. Amazing

[@Icepick614]

Gregs depth of field is so strong it looks like he's in front of a green screen

[@lobolink2772]

I don't think anyone agrees with Nick's interpretation except for Nick.. I think Lenny killed Joe Pantginloajno because he was using him against his will to kill multiple people and it would continue unless he did something about it.

[@tywoidan]

Ned Rierson gets 1.2 hits per at bat lol. What a legend

[@GroundPunch2]

Loooove this movie.

[@mjspresents]

Plooooottt... Plot plot... Plot plot... Plot plot... PLOT PLOOOOT!!! WOOOOOSH!!!

[@donovancorprue9427]

He didn’t learn everything he does in the movie post incident I don’t think because he said he was an investigator for insurance right?

[@YourGFsFavoriteBF]

Oh my God it’s happeninggggggggggggg *TimmyG voice* I’m fucking hyped for the Prestige in Review, Memento is so damn good I had to watch it from the beginning of the end. #KF/AF4Streamys20202016.

[@AlexRider589]

Someone please wait until Greg takes a nap and write on his hand, "You're Superman and living in a simulation."

[@usedfuzzbox]

I should have tattoo'd how I felt about this film, because I recall enjoying, but cant remember barely anything about it.....

[@Nbz0]

Now all the Beyonce's, and Lucy Liu's, and baby dolls Get on tha floor get on tha floor!

[@SWMacLure]

Ewan Mcgregor is Scottish cmon boys!

[@TheREALJohnL]

Ragubagu doesn't really work with Nolans movies. His movies are very grey in terms of good and bad people, there really isnt real "villians" in any of his movies except for maybe Insonmia.

[@jameshayes4562]

Bothers me a little bit that they keep saying “Sammy Jenkins” when his name is Sammy Jankis.

[@joezacc235]

PLOT!!! PLOT!!!

[@infinitecorpze]

Man, if you're like me and sometimes you watch In Review without watching the movie cuz you're maybe not interested enough to watch it, but still wanna support the boys, this is not the way to do this one. Do yourself a favor hahaha

[@zacharyhelms5560]

I love in review and I love Greg’s way of the recap for these films. But tbh, I’d prefer a more serious, thorough moment to moment recap like things used to be. The Nolan films are hard to follow as is, but most of the time I have no clue what he’s talking about. That’s with love and respect, I hope this doesn’t come off as mean

[@edwardmckenzie6988]

It's cool that you guys are moving away from franchises and toward filmmakers. Quentin Tarantino in review. Paul Thomas Anderson in review. Michael Mann in review. Kubrick in review. Make it happen gents.

[@montero863]

Forreal hopefully they continue to do that cuz god knows all Tim loves to watch are superhero movies and alien movies and robot and movies no offense Tim if you read this your cool asf bro and that's why I love you cuz you nerd shit

[@randalladkins7452]

👍 My second favorite movie of all time!! 😀

[@randalladkins7452]

You guys should really watch the dvd Easter Egg version where the story is in chronological order! :)

[@CheefChaos]

Not doing the plot worked out well in this instance, definitely something to consider for other movies going forward if y'all got a tight work week.

[@AnthonyJonesGeek]

STephen King Insomnia is unrelated to the Nolan movie.

[@treychampion9228]

Go Spurs Go! Puro RGV ! Andy the Covid is getting us. Stay safe

[@CheefChaos]

2007 Tim Donaghy Spurs MVP! ; p

[@MortenLM]

I would like to see: DC In Review (From Batman (1966) to Joker) (Then an episode/video to add DCEU movies to the ranking) Terminator In Review ALL OF THEM! Disney Animated Movies In Review Pixar In Review Disney Live Action Remakes In Review Jurassic Park In Review Indiana Jones In Review Pirates of the Caribbean In Review Die Hard In Review

[@Sam-jv6fb]

doing Disney or Pixar is harder because they aren't one coherent series at all. its less apples to apples and more apples to oranges.

[@Sam-jv6fb]

plus depending on what you mean by Disney, that'll take them until they retire

[@MatthewNovak]

@@Sam-jv6fb Miyazaki in Review is the same, though. Those movies aren't connected.

[@MatthewNovak]

I just want Batman in Review. Hopefully they don't wait for The Batman to do it.

[@Sam-jv6fb]

@@MatthewNovak Youre right. Im not interested in those movies so im skipping those episodes, so I hadn't thought of that

[@ryangolden1167]

The whole time I thought Teddy was played by Bill Burr 🤦‍♂️

[@TomTudusHughes]

I’m mothra I’m dead 😂😂😂

[@ikeeper6376]

Really enjoyed Nick's interpretation

[@JohnDoe-ru3yo]

This was a great discussion, I watched a fan edit of the movie where everything is linear/chronological order which was might sound dumb but I really recommend anyone watching it. Its avaiblable on dailymotion. vimeo.com/194394156

[@jasonc2341]

...Nick needs to watch Black Hawk Down again. That was a great movie.

[@igpx07]

This movie is written by Jonathan Nolan and it's a precursor to Person of Interest series, which is one of my favorite shows and highly recommended. Uses the idea of are they the perpetrator or the victim? Find out... and twists galore!

[@lj0615]

This is the only Nolan movie I don’t like. It’s compelling, but some how manages to be boring at the same time. It’s textbook Nolan to the point that it’s just a twisty emotionless plot device. I’m not saying it’s bad. It just didn’t do it for me.

[@Higgy506]

Nick could not be more wrong about Black Hawk Down 🤦‍♂️

[@StuartDesign]

KEVIN STOP REFRAMING PEOPLE MID_SENTENCE.... IT IS MORE DISTRACTING THAN IF PEOPLE ARE SLIGHTLY OFF CENTER !!!!! 11:20

[@EverythingWentSideways]

GODZILLA IN REVIEW WHEN? DO IT YOU COWARDS!!!!!!!!

[@nerdculture6521]

Fun fact this movie was copied twice in india , once by tamil movie studios and and then by Bollywood

[@SaiyanABlazeNinja]

eww their mouths don't even match for the first 5 minutes well there's go another podcast i was going to try to support
