Episode 8 - 50 First Dates | Forget-me-not
Want to listen to two millennial men talk about the neuroscience of a romantic comedy for 84 minutes? Of course you do. This episode, Nick and Stephen take a look at 2004's '50 First Dates', where Adam Sandler must continually re-woo a heavily amnesiac Drew Barrymore. Join us as we take a deep dive into the various types of memory, discuss the basis of modern memory research, and wax nostalgic about the early-2000s (spoiler: this movie is PEAK early-2000s everything).
Also, to everyone thinking, 'REEEEEEEEE, MEMENTO DID IT BETTER!!!11!!!1!!': We know. We'll get to it at some point.
