Shownotes Transcript

Episode 29: The gang investigates the Rashomon Effect ! They discuss the Kurosawa movie that started it all, the unreliable narrator theory, how the psychology field seized the term, and how Rashomon's legacy can be felt to this day in cinema, through movies like Ridley Scott's "The Last Duel" or David Fincher "Gone Girl". Ricardo also forces his co-hosts to listen to his painful childhood memories, Piotr acts as a game show host when linking the Rashomon effect to the Mandela effect, and Erwann bores the hell out of everyone by talking about his love for an old TV show that noone cares for.

Can you think of other movies or TV shows that use the Rashomon effect ?
