In a World...where most people live there lives unaware of the forces at work around them, one man will find himself with no memory of who he is or was. Moving on with his life, he finds peace, until his old life desperately seeks to drag him back for his own nefarious purposes.

About This Episode
 
In this episode, we pay homage to the genre of “Amnesia Thrillers.” You know the movies, where a hero wakes up with no memory of their previous life, and the slowly discover that they used to be a very dangerous person involved in very dangerous things. Some movies in this genre are The Bourne Identity, The Long Kiss Goodnight, and the TV show Absentia (which Avish keeps referring to as “Amnesia” - whoops!).
 
We make some changes on the fly to our improv game list and end up having a lot of fun being commentators at the world cup as player after player is taken out...
