Sometimes you just shouldn't let a Seagal soar. Will and Matt discuss the confusing "buddy-cop" action comedy starring one of the Wayans Brothers, Steven Seagal, and Brian Cox doing accents all in an attempt to muddle Stephen Tobolowsky's five minute masterclass of acting.

GLIMMER MAN
dir. John Gray
starring: Steven Seagal; Keenen Ivory Wayans; Brian Cox
All-time great character actor Stephen Tobolowsky might be best known as Ned Ryerson from GROUNDHOG DAY, but his film and television credits number in the hundreds. His thoughtful character choices for today are appropriately iconic -- George Bailey from It's a Wonderful Life and the Monster from Bride of Frankenstein. But the real highlight of this episode are Stephen's riveting storytelling and invaluable wisdom about the hidden gifts a seeming catastrophe can bring.

Guest Quote
"There is such a positiveness in Judaism, that when you become a part of it, you realize how absolutely life-affirming it is. Even in death, it gets you through all the terrible transitions: from Genesis to Exodus, Leviticus to Numbers to Deuteronomy. It can get you through every one of those walls, every one of those challenges.“ - Stephen Tobolowsky

Hvad hukommelse betyder for virkeligheden og hvor skrøbelig den i virkeligheden er, bliver undersøgt i denne tragiske noir-thriller om en mand, der famlende forsøger at opklare mordet på sin kone.
Memento (2000) er instrueret af Christopher Nolan efter en novelle af instruktørens lillebror, Jonathan Nolan. Novellens titel er Memento mori (2001), der er latin og betyder "husk, at du skal du". Det var den sætning de romerske kejsere blev hvisket i øret af en slave, når de sejerrige kørte i triumftog gennem Roms gader. Hukommelse er en alvorlig udfordring for hovedpersonen Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce). Udfordret af hjernelidelsen anterograde amnesia, der gør at ikke har nogen korttidshukommelse, forsøger han at finde den mand der slog hans kone ihjel. Men hvem kan han stole på? Prøver politimanden Teddy (Joe Pantoliano) at hjælpe ham? Bliver han udnyttet af servitricen Natalie (Carrie-Anne Moss) og hvad er den virkelige historie om Sammy (Stephen Tobolowsky), der er mistænkt for forsikringssvindel?
Lyt med til en samtale i Det Gule Værelse, hvor dine værter Thomas og Morten forsøger at huske deres noter, filmens handlingsforløb og ikke mindste om der skjuler sig nogle skurke eller helte i filmen.
