David Lynch - Blue Velvet

Tuesday Feb 27, 2018
A young man, a severed ear, and a dark mystery in the heart of small-town America. One of David Lynch's most iconic films is also one of his most accessible, and most beloved. We talk the imagery, themes, and Lynchian elements embedded throughout the film, as well as the way they pave the path towards Twin Peaks.
Also! David Foster Wallace makes (another) appearance. We talk the deleted scenes from this film. And we decide that Heineken is clearly the superior beer (not really PBR fans, don't worry).
Hope you join us for another jump into David Lynch's world of odd and beautiful Americana with Blue Velvet.

The Equalizer is, well, not equal to the rest of the Mark Frost and David Lynch works we've discussed so far, but it's still worth noting! Bridging the gap between Hill Street Blues 70s aesthetic and Twin Peaks' early 90s look is a show so 80s the theme song was done by a member of The Police.
We break down the two episodes penned by Mark Frost, finding some points to criticize, and some to praise. But we now know one thing for certain: whenever we're facing long odds, we're looking to the newspaper ads first!
