The Blackout & The Hangover

The second episode of our "memory" season  - this time we look at two films about what happens when you get so drunk you forget what happened the night before.

Also, the sound quality improves in the second half, apologies for the ASMR noises.

The Blackout (1997) Matthew Modine plays Matty, a "flavour of the month" actor with a serious drug and alcohol problem. Under the watchful eye of a deranged nightclub impresario played by Dennis Hopper, he may have committed a crime can't remember.

The Hangover (2009) Long before he shocked the world with his provocative, daring film about a clown that's veeeeery scary, Todd Phillips made a little comedy that propelled many of its cast into stardom, spawning two sequels and a range of imitators.
