In every case, these histories ended up rosier and nobler than the depraved violence just beneath the surfaces of “Memento” (2001), “Mulholland Drive” (2001) and “The Long Kiss Goodnight” (1996). So let’s retrace our steps through this forgetful sub-genre, shall we?

Movie Reviews & Reappraisals
Be Reel is a movie reviewing & reappraising podcast hosted by Chance Solem-Pfeifer and Noah Ballard.
Each time out, we select three movies based around a genre and call up guests ranging from submarine captains to Oscar winners. Then, we rate the movies, weighing both technical quality and entertainment.
Noah and Chance are old friends who mostly respect each other’s opinions. Even though Chance is a fool and a traitor. Find their show presented at ThePlaylist.Net and follow them on Twitter for the latest on Noah’s literary agenting and Chance’s work in the Portland arts scene.
