Many Americans have a constant dread of impending doom. Glued to the screens of our computers and smartphones, we sense that some total catastrophe is just around the corner. But what if our anxiety stems from an event that's already completely destroyed an old world? What if the real cataclysm was the introduction of those computers and smartphones, and our current political, cultural, and social crisis is just our way of merely dealing with the fallout?So argues the political theorist James Poulos, who is my guest in Episode 7 of Season 6 on Madison's Notes. Having earned his PhD in government at Georgetown University, he was a founding editor of The American Mind, Return, and Frontier, where he is currently editorial director. The author of The Art of Being Free (2017), Human, Forever (2021), I Know This Sounds Crazy (2024), and an upcoming book called, Golden Age Problems, he recently wrote a Palladium Magazine essay called, “The Dostoevskian Moment,” which we use along with Human, Forever to discuss the digital technology crisis.Along the way we discuss media theorists like Marshall McLuhan and Jean Beaudrillard, the American political tradition, post-Cold-War civilizational states, cryptocurrency and AI, digital sovereignty, the modern camps fighting over technology among effective altruists, vitalists, gnostics and post-humanists, conversions to Eastern Orthodoxy, the Pink Police State, why Mars colonies are safer for humanity than Lunar ones, and the genius of David Lynch.Hosted by Ryan Shinkel, Madison's Notes is the podcast of Princeton University's James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions.

Robert meets Lykke Li to discuss her new album The Afterparty, collaborating with artist Monty Richthofen on the cover artwork, and her powerful, ongoing creative partnership with experimental filmmaker and director Theo Lindquist. We explore her friendship and duet with the late David Lynch, and also look back to when Lindquist, Lykke Li, and artist Nick Verstand created their immersive, hyper-sensory multimedia installation at The Broad Museum in Los Angeles. The exhibition projected Lindquist's visual loops in high-resolution spatial audio to simulate a "cathedral of female romantic fantasy".We learn about the inspiration Lykke finds in the work of artists including Helen Frankenthaler, Francis Bacon, Cindy Sherman, Pina Bausch, Tracey Emin, Marina Abramović, Jordan Wolfson, as well as Patti Smith, Joan Didion, Claire Denis and Isabelle Huppert. Plus, this week also sees Lykke Li perform live at The Met museum in New York, just as her song I Follow Rivers reached one billion streams on Spotify.Lykke Li is a singular force in Swedish pop, where fragility hits the bullseye every time. She makes music as if it were both a diary and a spotlight, an intimate confession and a cold, unblinking stare straight back. TheyShe broke through with her debut album Youth Novels in 2008, in which the echoes of 60s girl-group pop took on a new kind of electric solitude. Her second album, Wounded Rhymes, tightened the rhythm and the shadow until it started to glow. In that era, I Follow Rivers became an international breakthrough moment. This song escaped into clubs, festivals, and headphones as a shared language and found a second life through remixes.Her third album, I Never Learn, made heartbreak big, bare, and unflinching. Then came a turn toward a shinier present on the so sad so sexy era, and Eyeyequieted everything again until even a whisper feels like bass. Now she is already pointing toward what comes next. New music is now here, with the new album, Afterparty, and its monumental first single Lucky Again.Lykke Li is an artist the whole world watches, but she refuses to pose for that gaze. She creates a space where pop is art, emotion is physical, and beauty is allowed to be a little ugly. It is confident, a bit ruthless, and dangerously addictive at the same time. The kind of music you dance to, only to realise later that something went straight under your skin.And even though attitude does not need metrics, the scale is still there. She is not just a critic's secret favourite, but a maker who has taken major Swedish honours, moved across the world's biggest stages, and written songs that stay alive in a way very few can manage. This is the point where she stops explaining herself and simply owns the room.Follow @LykkeLiThe Afterparty is out now on Vinyl and CD via Neon Gold Records.

Imogen Poots and Jesse Eisenberg get trapped in fake suburban hell in Vivarium (2019), a quintissential Liminal Horror Film. Who would have guessed that the hot trend in the 2020s would be liminal space horror? Always visually arresting, but often slow, bleak, and depressing, this subgenre has become an out-of-nowhere genre favorite thanks to the wild success of Backrooms. In addition to smashing the box office with over $360 million in earnings, it also attracted young moviegoers, which runs counter to what most marketing experts would expect younger audiences to flock to. The Scariest Things took some time to figure out why this unlikely trend has become so popular in Episode 216: Liminal Horror. Slow burn, or as Mike Campbell will suggest: No burn. Liminal horror takes its time and forces you to stare into the corners of the screen. If you watch long enough, maybe something will happen. Then again, maybe not. That’s the gamble of liminal horror. It also makes jump scares that much more rewarding when they do get sprung. This trope bathes in the uncanny valley. Unsettling. Unnerving. Something just a touch off, creating an atmosphere of unease. This can be with the way people look, or the geometry of the room, or the color of the sky. In this way, liminal horror can be frustrating. And yet, fascinating. Many films that employ this style feel like dreams or nightmares. Characters question the reality of their situation, trapped in a personal hell. Definition: The Horror HQ has a terrific definition. “Liminal horror taps into the eerie feeling evoked by “in-between” spaces, unsettling environments that seem familiar yet uncomfortably off-kilter. Unlike traditional horror, which often relies on monsters, jump scares, or gore, liminal horror creates a more insidious type of fear, drawing on subtle, deeply psychological cues to unnerve and disorient. Rooted in the concept of liminality, this form of horror brings us to places where boundaries blur—between one time, space, or state of being and another—invoking a dread that is both existential and mysterious. “ Liminal Spaces in Design As an architect, I appreciate how the built environment can confuse, shock, or unsettle someone’s experience. The works of MC Escher, Giovanni Piranesi, and Robert Eisenman all confronted viewers with challenging environments. These designers delighted in the visual stress these deliberately agitating fantastical places created. Holocaust Museum, Berlin, by Peter Eisenman Relativity by M.C. Escher The Gothic Arch by Giovanni Piranesi Abandoned Fairytale Castles in Mudurnu Turkey Some of the greatest film auteurs have dabbled in liminal space. Stanley Kubrick. Roman Polanski. Robert Altman. David Lynch. And yet liminal horror has launched the careers of some very young visionary directors: Alex Ullom (It Ends), Kane Parsons (Backrooms), and Kyle Edward Ball (Skinamarink) have arrived out of seemingly nowhere (which is appropriate for the trope). This is an era of A.I. and fake news accusations. Who is to believe what their own eyes are telling them? Don’t expect copious gore or big action sequences in these films. These films also tend to be light on dialogue. The characters often keep their distance from each other. Perhaps liminal horror was born out of the pandemic, when we were all kept apart from each other. Don’t get too close. Dangerous! What these films may lack in adrenaline and bravado is made up for in emotional intelligence. These movies are designed to spark conversations afterward over a cup of coffee. Podcast Episode 216: Exploring Liminal Horror Conceptually, liminal horror is new to the scene. It’s a buzzy topic, but when you do a bit of research, there are a number of films that fit into this trope, though the word liminal hasn’t been applied to these films until recently. Liminal Horror isn’t solely a film style either. Liz Williams brings out two very interesting books to consider when thinking liminally.

You're a Fireman's gold-dust-dream, sent to save us from the fire.The Post Relevant Podcast returns to stride through the 2026 Lions Gate, as well as a solar and lunar eclipse, only to time travel back to 2025 during the LA fires in order to memorialize their fearless leader of coffee and cherry pie, the legendary David Lynch. This decode was originally recorded in January 2025, immediately following the death of DL. Hosts Phil and Justin wax poetical about the passing of a man so influential he has become an adjective (Lynchian) and dig deep into their love of the man and his art. Its an intense talk. Then they dig into decoding Twin Peaks: the Return episode 10, aka "Laura's the One." Also! A new song, also called "Laura's the One." What's the chance of that?And!

Poet and pediatric anesthesiologist Conor Mc Donnell joins the podcast to talk about how he lets his readers do the work when it comes to his poetry. Mc Donnell discusses how he balances writing with a demanding medical career, why his long poem "What We Know So Far" grew out of news headlines and medical language, and how wordplay, notebooks, and “accretive” composition shape his projects. Along the way they get into language as a virus (via Burroughs), the influence of David Lynch and M. John Harrison on narrative structure, the musicality of poetry (Joy Division, New Order, Smashing Pumpkins), and why writers should be willing to train and even lose some readers in order to reach the right ones.Find all of Conor's work at https://www.conorgmcdonnell.com/Pick up Jonathan's latest work, ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Eye Collector from Image Comics⁠⁠⁠⁠ at your local comic shop, or ⁠⁠⁠⁠online⁠⁠⁠⁠.Join Jonathan's Patreon page for free at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠staystrange.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Subscribe to the Stranger Fiction YouTube channel at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠strangertv.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Purchase books & comics available from Stranger Fiction at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠strangerfiction.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Watch The Princess and the Dragon ⁠⁠on Apple TV⁠⁠.

It's Goro Day! This week we are going deep on the embattled, tragic, and nonetheless fascinating collaboration between Hayao Miyazaki and his fledging director son. Whatever you think of Goro's movies, you've got to admit… the story of Studio Ghibli is incomplete without him!But it's not just the rift between father and son this week. POPPY HILL is an impressive movie in its own right, and we have much to discuss. And it just so happens that fathers and sons also factor heavily into the film. Coincidence?Next week it's the penultimate (?) film of Hayao Miyazaki, THE WIND RISES (2013)!

Cherry pie, coffee, and murder. We're talking about David Lynch's Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me.

David Lynch llevó su cine al límite con “Inland Empire”, un laberinto de sueños, pesadillas, Hollywood y mundos que se cruzan. A 20 años de su estreno, Daniel Villalobos revisita una de las películas más radicales, inquietantes y personales de la carrera del director.Protagonizada por Laura Dern, Inland Empire es también una película sobre el cine, sus bambalinas y la frontera cada vez más difusa entre realidad y ficción. Lynch abandona definitivamente el celuloide y explora las posibilidades del cine digital para construir una historia fragmentada, oscura y surrealista, conectada con algunas de sus obsesiones recurrentes: Hollywood, los sueños, la identidad, la explotación, el miedo y la redención.Encuentra más contenidos de cine en Cooperativapodcast.cl

Paolo Antonio D'Andrea"La profondità del cinema"Piccola guida per immergersi nei filmediciclo editorewww.ediciclo.itC'è un viaggio che non richiede di muoversi di un centimetro, eppure può portarci più lontano di qualsiasi altro spostamento fisico. È il viaggio del cinema, ed è il tema al centro di La profondità del cinema, il nuovo libro di Paolo Antonio D'Andrea pubblicato da Ediciclo Editore all'interno della collana "Piccola filosofia di viaggio" — il primo titolo della serie dedicato interamente al grande schermo.D'Andrea parte da un'immagine semplice e potente: lo spettatore come "viaggiatore immobile". Come scrive l'autore, "il corpo non va da nessuna parte. Eppure, nessun altro dispositivo ha prodotto un'esperienza di viaggio altrettanto potente." Il cinema, in questa prospettiva, non è evasione ma immersione: più ci si addentra in un film, più si scende in profondità dentro se stessi.Per raccontare questa discesa, l'autore costruisce un'allegoria efficace, quella del palombaro: la profondità della sua immersione diventa la misura dell'esplorazione interiore che il cinema può offrire. Un'idea che il libro sviluppa attraversando tre autori molto diversi tra loro. John Ford rappresenta la discesa più superficiale, quella legata allo spazio esterno e all'epica del western. Josef von Sternberg introduce il tema dell'artificio e del desiderio come pura immagine. David Lynch, infine, segna il punto di massima profondità, dove paesaggio e inconscio finiscono per coincidere.Non è però soltanto un saggio di teoria del cinema. D'Andrea intreccia la riflessione critica con la memoria autobiografica, come nell'episodio, raccontato nel libro, legato a Il grande silenzio di Sergio Corbucci: le distese innevate del film, che da bambino l'autore credeva ambientate in Alaska, si rivelano poi essere le Dolomiti — Cortina, Auronzo di Cadore, Misurina. Un piccolo aneddoto che diventa esempio perfetto di come il cinema sappia trasformare una geografia inventata in un luogo interiore, vissuto come reale.Paolo Antonio D'Andrea lavora dal 2016 nella formazione cinematografica: è responsabile didattico di Cinemazero a Pordenone, dirige il festival FMK e insegna storia e semiologia del cinema all'Università di Trieste. La sua competenza da educatore si sente in tutto il libro, capace di restare rigoroso senza mai perdere la leggerezza e il piacere del racconto.La profondità del cinema è, in fondo, un invito a guardare i film in un altro modo: non per sapere dove ci portano le storie, ma per scoprire fin dove siamo disposti a scendere dentro noi stessi.Paolo Antonio D'Andrea si occupa dal 2016 di formazione e organizzazione di eventi in ambito cinematografico. Per Cinemazero di Pordenone cura l'offerta didattica e le iniziative dedicate ai classici, dirige il festival di cortometraggi FMK, coordina le attività del progetto Cinemazero Young Club e il team di traduzione audiovisiva del Pordenone Docs Fest e si occupa, da responsabile, dell'organizzazione della storica FilmFair delle Giornate del Cinema Muto. Dal 2018 al 2021 è stato cultore della materia (Storia e Semiologia del Cinema) presso l'Università di Trieste. Docente e saggista, la sua attività di ricerca si concentra sulla storia, il linguaggio e la critica del cinema.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Chaos im echten Leben? Taranja Wu hat dafür einen simplen Vorschlag: tanzen. Ihr neues Album ist der Soundtrack fürs Durcheinander – bevölkert von Figuren aus Filmen und Serien. Im Interview erzählt sie, warum Saoirse Ronan, Carey Mulligan und David Lynch plötzlich Teil ihrer Songs werden. «All Messed Up» ist kein autobiografisches Album – zumindest nicht im klassischen Sinn. Taranja Wu versteht ihre Kunstfigur eher als Echo oder Spiegel: Durch sie schlüpft sie in andere Menschen und Situationen. So landen plötzlich Figuren wie Saoirse Ronans Charakter aus «The Outrun» oder Carey Mulligan aus «Promising Young Woman» in ihren Songs. Auch David Lynchs «Blue Velvet» hinterlässt Spuren. Das passt zu Wus intuitiver Art zu schreiben: Sie beginnt meist mit einem Beat, ohne zu wissen, wohin die Reise geht. Erst nach und nach tauchen Figuren, Geschichten und Atmosphären auf. Und obwohl es dabei inhaltlich auch mal richtig düster wird, soll «All Messed Up» kein Album zum Versinken sein. Wu will dem Chaos lieber tanzend begegnen – ohne falsche Hoffnung, aber mit genug Drive, um weiterzumachen. «All Messed Up» ist das neue Sounds! Album der Woche. Es gibt Vinyl und CDs zu gewinnen, nur live im Radio.

David Lynch's Disney-Produced Road Movie Masterpiece. The one you've probably never heard of. The one that's going to crack open your heart like an egg. The one that'll make you cry so hard you'll have to change your shirt before going to your buddy's house to talk about it.Maybe David Lynch's best film ever.

This week I'm joined by Godfrey Cheshire to discuss his new book, Cheshire on Film: Life & Writings. Cheshire is a long-time critic—in addition to writing for Variety and RogerEbert.com, among many other outlets, his stint at the New York Press with Matt Zoller Seitz and Armond White was a legendary run during the golden age of the alt-weeklies and was recently collected in The Press Gang—and his new book highlights a number of his seminal pieces, including interviews with David Lynch and Charlton Heston.But it also functions as a memoir of sorts, a remembrance of a vibrant time in film and film writing that is hard to imagine today. And it serves as a crash course on Iranian and Chinese cinema for those who need one. This is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the world of cinema. You can check out his Substack here. If you're in North Carolina on September 9, Chesire will be at the Rialto hosting a Q&A and signing books. And New York City residents should make sure to check out Cheshire's appearance at the IFC Film Center with filmmaker (and Bill and Ted costar) Alex Winter on Monday, September 21. If you make it out there for either of these shows, please say hi from The Bulwark!

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, the dads review Giant, the Prince Naseem Hamed biopic starring Amir El-Masry as Naz and Pierce Brosnan as legendary Sheffield trainer Brendan Ingle. It is a boxing film, a mentor-protégé story, a study of fame and arrogance, and a surprisingly knotty argument about whether loyalty, recognition and money can ever stay clean once a child prodigy becomes a multi-million-pound champion.The episode opens with Reegs still absent in French France, which means no clever intro but plenty of warnings about swears and spoilers. Dan has watched classic film noir Laura and revisited Universal Soldier for the Midweeker, Cris has been watching Pierce Brosnan in western series The Son alongside some nostalgic X-Men '97, and Sidey has been back into Barry while also sampling a Netflix serial-killer thriller involving De Niro and missing boys. There is also football, DIY, paint guns, teal walls and the sort of domestic detail that proves cinema podcasting is mostly glamour.For Top 5 Giants, the dads go suitably massive. Dan starts with The Iron Giant and the animated BFG, while Cris brings in Romanian basketball player Gheorghe Mureșan via Billy Crystal's My Giant, then stretches the theme through the MonsterVerse, The Odyssey, Leprechaun 4: In Space and Rush Hour 3. Sidey nominates Fezzik from The Princess Bride, They Might Be Giants, The The's “Giant”, Game of Thrones' actual giants and finally the Giant from Twin Peaks, giving him another chance to declare David Lynch's nightmare television more or less untouchable. The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, Riding Giants and several real-life giants also get thrown into the oversized mix.The main review focuses on Giant as a story about two men rather than one. Prince Naseem is obviously the famous fighter, but the film arguably belongs just as much to Brendan Ingle, whose Sheffield gym gives young lads discipline, community and a way to redirect anger. The dads talk through the early scenes: Brendan spotting young Naz's footwork, taking him into the gym, making new boys sing before they fight, teaching movement before punching, and helping him deal with racist abuse in an environment where National Front attitudes are never far from the surface.As Naz rises, the film follows the familiar sports-biopic path of talent, training, showmanship and success, but the more interesting material comes from the relationship slowly cracking. Brendan nurtures Naz's cockiness because it fuels the fighter, but that same confidence becomes harder to control once promoters, sponsorships, family influence and huge money arrive. Frank Warren sees the commercial value of Naz's brash persona, the family starts questioning Brendan's cut, and the childhood handshake deal over 25% becomes the moral fault line of the film.Sidey and Dan both find that argument more complicated than the film first appears to suggest. Brendan clearly changes Naz's life, puts the money back into the gym, builds champions and cares deeply about the boy he trained from childhood. At the same time, agreeing a huge percentage with a 12-year-old is uncomfortable, however much both of them believed in the dream. The imagined reconciliation scene near the end gives the film its strongest emotional beat, because it lets Naz say he was a child and Brendan say he gave everything. The sting is that, in real life, they never properly reconciled.The performances get the strongest praise. Pierce Brosnan is very good as Brendan Ingle, and the various actors playing Naseem — especially Amir El-Masry as the adult Naz — capture the movement, swagger and showboating well. The fight scenes are convincing, the Sheffield material gives the story texture, and the film does enough with a modest-feeling British production to stay watchable throughout.The verdict is positive but measured. Sidey thinks it is pretty paint-by-numbers and admits he was never a huge fan of Naseem's arrogance, though he respects the story and really likes the performances. Dan enjoys the sports-movie structure and the tragic mentor-student angle, but does not think the film quite lands a knockout blow. Cris had not seen it in time for recording, but the discussion leaves the film sounding like one he would still watch. Overall, the dads call it a moderate to strong recommend: interesting, well acted and easy to watch, if not quite a heavyweight classic.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

When it comes to Hayao Miyazaki, the ocean is full of mystery and calamity. But one thing is for certain: Ponyo loves ham! This week is Miyazaki's late-career “movie for five-year-olds” that somehow combines the terror of complete environmental catastrophe with… the joy of floating around in a candle-powered speedboat. And cool jellyfish! Topics discussed: delicious-looking tea, delicious-looking ramen, whether or not the mad scientist/wizard Fujimoto represents Miyazaki, the perils of painting backgrounds for Ghibli, prehistoric fish, and Frankie Jonas. Next week we take a brief detour from the late works of Miyazaki and Takahata to cover Hiromasa Yonebayashi's THE SECRET WORLD OF ARRIETTY (2010).

A tariff deal with Canada that President Trump said was done collapsed over the weekend after Prime Minister Mark Carney called the terms unfair. The Washington Post’s David Lynch breaks down what happens next. The U.S. is preparing tougher sanctions against Iran, with Trump talking of an “economic D-Day” for Tehran. The Associated Press’s Farnoush Amiri explains how Iran has weathered sanctions for decades. Construction crews are racing to finish Trump’s 90,000-square-foot ballroom before the Supreme Court rules on its legality. The Wall Street Journal’s James Romoser explains the administration’s strategy. Plus, a fire forces thousands in Reno, Nevada, to evacuate, a meeting between Hakeem Jeffries and Jared Kushner, and the IndyCar race through the streets of Washington, D.C. Today’s episode was hosted by Cecilia Lei.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 207 John Carroll Lynch - Actor / Director In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with actor and director John Carroll Lynch (BALLARD, LUCKY, FARGO). During our conversation, John tells us what originally drew him into acting, and we discuss an actor's function and place in film, television, and the theatre. As an actor, John has been directed by filmmakers ranging from Clint Eastwood to David Fincher to Ethan and Joel Coen (Season 1, Episode 33), and we discuss how he adapts to different methods of working. We later spend much of the episode discussing John's directorial debut, LUCKY, and we learn how he came to direct the film, how he worked with actor Harry Dean Stanton to develop a script based on his own life, and what it was about the film that attracted him to join in the first place. John also reflects on his experience directing the late David Lynch in the film, and we ask him what to expect in his next movie as a director. We worked with John on FARGO, and it was great catching up with him. - Recommended Viewing: LUCKY
