A Cacophony of Deep Questions

Episode 113: A Cacophony of Deep Questions

Prompts: List, Ocean Blue, Memory, 4823

Neal is riding solo this week, and not only is he riding solo, the first segment is literally riding, in his new car, recording on a highway. Talk about dedication.

This week Neal, like LT, takes inspiration from LIST and also MEMORY to give us a list of 5 films worth checking out that deal with memory and all its themes. This episode explores memory not as a perfect record of the past, but as something we constantly reshape, reinterpret, distort, preserve, and sometimes desperately try to escape. Through these films, we look at how memory creates our sense of identity, love, grief, legacy, and even history itself. Some films included are Rashomon, Memento, and The Mirror... you'll have to listen for the others.

We hope you take some of thee films and add them to your list and let us know how you like them and what you took away from them!
