EP. 249 — Blue Velvet

Paul & Amy send a love letter to David Lynch’s uncanny 1986 noir Blue Velvet! They learn what Lynch thinks of his “Jimmy Stewart from Mars” image, discuss the film’s many connections to The Wizard Of Oz, and ask why we’re collectively obsessed with the dark underbelly of everyday life. Plus: What Dennis Hopper role was a ‘spiritual sequel’ to Frank Booth?
