Disjointed plot lines are often used to jump the audience immediately into the action of the story and then later, fill in the gaps with information they skipped over. However, if done poorly, this could be seen as more as a gimmick. How effective are disjointed plot lines toward telling a story? Can they be too confusing or do they offer more perspectives to engage in? Richard, Patrick, Ian, and Brooke dive into anime like Boogiepop and the Others and Garden of Sinners and compare them to movies like Dunkirk, Memento, and Stephen King’s It and to mainstream TV Shows like CW’s Arrow and Westworld to discuss out if disjointed plot lines are useful or not.
