On this episode of the Storyworld Podcast, hosts Steve and Alex engage in a lively discussion about Christopher Nolan’s film, ‘Memento.’ They explore the movie’s unique non-linear narrative, where scenes are presented in both chronological and reverse order, creating an intriguing and complex viewing experience. They also dive into the character of Leonard Shelby, a man suffering from short-term memory loss, who uses Polaroid photographs and tattoos to find the people who attacked his wife. The hosts reflect on the movie’s profound impact and share their questions about its intricate plotlines.
The world of “story” has captivated humanity since the dawn of time. The oldest known form of communication, verbal storytelling is responsible for the continuity and development of civilization from its most primitive moments to its most advanced. Story invokes a sense of mystical wonder, but is also a powerful medium for communicating real and concrete ideas that shape people’s lives and make them take action. Steve Schramm (Marketer, Non-Fiction Writer, and Story Nerd) and Alex Giguere (Fiction Writer, Wannabe Game Designer, and Story Nerd) join forces as worlds collide to discuss how “story” is the most powerful concept ever known, and how it interacts with each and every aspect of our lives — from the most magical to the most mundane.
