If it's any consolation, retrograde amnesia tends to affect episodic memory (which is personal in some way, inherently subjective) more than semantic memory (which is like facts about the world, inherently objective). It's plausible that he'd forget his past but remember the existence of a film.
I do enjoy these comics better, I remember this one distinctly after reading it several months ago. I'm not saying the other style is no good, but I think it's nice to keep switching it up
As Dust said, it's possible. Total/true amnesia is actually rather rare (of course, I get most of my medical knowledge from my WWII survivor grandpa and watching reruns of House, so don't quote me on that)

This is brilliant!
I wonder if he sticks the landing.
I'd lie to all my amnesia patients. At least they'd be happy now.
Until their memory returns, anyway!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaw – I wish this would happend to me next time 🙁
one of my top 3 favorites you made. decided to reread them all today and wen i got to this one i decided to leave this message on it.
“But look how happy he is” is now a line that I commonly use in conversation.
Did you hear about the guy who tried to hide the fact that he was Japanese?
He was a Secret Asian.
