Ben & Rob tattoo ‘Memento’ onto the chest of their series covering every Christopher Nolan movie ever! Released in 2000 and starring Guy Pearce as a memory impaired widower, and Carrie Ann Moss and Joe Pantoliano as his two competing manipulators.

Is our protagonist Leonard a broken superhero? Why was Ben so convinced that he hates this film? And is this a story about struggling with a condition, or the struggle against mental conditioning?

Evil Dead Rise (2023): Deadites, Cheesegraters, Bank Vaults and Buff Christ

Ben & Rob cover Lee Cronin’s 2023 movie ‘Evil Dead Rise’, slamming shut the book of the dead and bringing their Evil Dead series to a close. At least for now; if we’ve learned one thing about the Deadites, they’re fond of a comeback tour. ‘Evil Dead Rise’ follows two sisters, Beth and Ellie, whose lives take a horrific turn when they discover a book of the dead, the Necronomicon, in their apartment building's basement. Starring Lily Sullivan and Alyssa Sutherland, is this final chapter the fresh new spin on the franchise we’ve been waiting for? Or has the director delivered deader than Deadite dumbness? Is finding a Necronomicon in a sealed bank vault under your house the simplest route for a script? And is this actually the smartest Evil Dead film we’ve ever seen? CONSUUUME to find out!

‘Following’ (1998): Christopher Nolan's Chaotic Chronicle of Curious Criminal Consequences

Ben & Rob begin their epic adventure into every Christopher Nolan ever, starting with his 1998 no-budget debut ‘Following’. Made on a budget of just $6000, ‘Following’ stars Jeremy Theobald as a lonely young writer becoming trapped in a web of deceit by a talented career criminal. But does this film manage to achieve the greatness that would come to define its director’s later work? And what can be learned about the films of a man who would go on to generate billions for the industry? Has Rob already doomed his campaign to convince Ben of Nolan’s genius?
