Brokebot Mountain is a podcast created by Blazing Caribou Studios to discuss and breakdown HBO’s SciFi Western, “Westworld“. This week Brokebot Mountain,  Kari , Phil , and David discuss the movie Memento. Directed by Christopher Nolan , and inspired by the creator of Westworld, Jonathan Nolan’s short story ‘Memento Mori.’

Memento Synopsis:  Leonard Shelby has short term memory loss resulting from an injury he sustained which was associated with the murder of his wife. He remembers his life prior to the incident, such as being an insurance claims investigator. He has learned to cope with his memory loss through dealing with a man named Sammy Jankis, a person he investigated professionally who also had short term memory issues.

Some of these coping mechanism are to have a system of where to place things, talk to people face-to-face.  Rather than on the telephone as to be able to gauge their true intention, take Polaroids and write copious notes; the most important of those which he tattoos on his body so that they become permanent. Leonard’s current mission is to find and kill his wife’s murderer.  He believes the murderer is a man named John G., a name which is tattooed on his body.

Over the course of a day, Leonard is assisted in this mission by a few people seemingly independent of each other.  Including a man named Teddy and a woman named Natalie. However, each time he meets them, he has no idea who they are, why they are helping him and if indeed they are working toward the same goal as him..

Brokebot Mountain is a podcast created by Blazing Caribou Studios to discuss and breakdown HBO’s SciFi Western, “Westworld“. This week on The Creator’s Mind episode, hosts Kari Simms, Phil Rood, and David Luzader discuss Westworld’s Co-creator Jonathan Nolan and his work on the show.

We take a look at a creative tour de force behind Westworld’s, Mr. Jonathan Nolan.  Nolan, along with his wife Lisa Joy (and of course Michael Crichton), are responsible for the collective joy of everyone on this show by creating Westworld and taking the source material to daring new territory.

The brother of filmmaker Christopher Nolan, Jonathan is similarly a writer, director, and producer, and this week we’re going to try to shed a little light on Jonathan’s career and his work in particular on Westworld.

Nothing I have done has prepared me for the challenge of Westworld

We’ve been anxiously awaiting HBO’s Westworld for what feels like forever. Originally, we hoped Westworld would arrive in 2015, then we heard 2016. And then production was shut down, and we heard it might be 2017 instead. What’s going on? We talked to showrunner Jonathan Nolan, and he filled us in.

In this week’s Varmints podcast we’ll talk about gorillas! Many of you have asked about our episode on gorillas. This was an episode Paul and Paul recorded before the show was picked up by Blazing Caribou. As Paul is out of town this weekend attending to his Superhero headquarters, and unable to record, take a listen to this episode from the old archives and enjoy learning about gorillas.

Here are some great pictures of western lowland and eastern lowland gorillas. Can you tell the difference? If you can’t,  don’t feel bad. The differences are mostly due to length of arms and tooth shape, which are significant enough to warrant sub-species classifications. Enjoy! Courtesy of the World Wildlife Federation.

On this episode of the Occasional Show, ‘Cable Bond?” Shawn Burns welcomes stay at home dad and podcaster from the More Gooder Than Podcast, Chris Braatten.
