David Lynch never tells you what anything “means,” and that’s exactly why 🎥 Mulholland Drive endures.

We talk about the beauty of unanswered questions, Naomi Watts’ devastating dual performance, and why art is most powerful when it refuses to explain itself.

Ocean’s Eleven. I will never tire of it. It’s so cool, so slick, and yet so unserious. A true comfort watch.

In “We Look Like a Podcast!”, we explored Akira Kurosawa's 🎥 Sanjuro (1962). 

A sequel that is more than, “Yojimbo, but bigger, badder baddies”, it forces us to ask why use violence when cleverness’ll do.

In Phantom Thread (2017), tenderness often shows up as discomfort. In this episode, we dig into how Anderson’s film turns the “tortured genius” trope on its head, and gives us something rarer: the romance of learning to live with someone.

Two notes.

An iconic villain.

Jaws made waves in New Hollywood, and in this episode we wade through tension, and the power of perspective.

🦈 “We may not need a bigger boat…” but we did need a bigger cup of coffee for this one. In this episode, we dive into Jaws, the film that invented the modern blockbuster. From malfunctioning sharks to New Hollywood artistry, we explore how a thriller about fear became a study in craft.

In “It’s Not Your Podcast Anymore", we tumble down Mulholland Drive to ask one simple question: does it matter what a movie is about? We dive into David Lynch’s surreal dreamscape of Hollywood heartbreak, mystery, and meaning—or maybe the lack of it.
