Podcasts about Eraserhead

We're continuing our series on the films of David Lynch this week with what is arguably his most unusual entry: THE STRAIGHT STORY. Lynch had built a reputation on bizarre works like Eraserhead and Lost Highway. His films were often filled with graphic sex and violence as in Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, or even Wild at Heart. So, when his gentle, elegant, G-rated Disney film was released, it turned more than a few heads and earned him some of the most broadly universal acclaim of his career.The Straight Story tells of Alvin Straight, an elderly and ailing man who learns that his brother has suffered a stroke. Unable to drive a car, he determines to set out on a nearly 400-mile journey to visit his brother on a riding lawnmower, embarking upon an episodic journey filled with interesting characters and beautiful landscapes. It is a remarkably spiritual journey of potent wisdom and uncommon grace, offered up with a degree of humanity that perhaps could have only been expressed by the late David Lynch.We're joined by Andrew Nelson and Matt Murray to discuss the film's finer details as well as debate the wisdom of Alvin Straight's quest and explore just how far we might go in order to put things right. It's a thoughtful, funny, and vulnerable conversation that we really hope you'll enjoy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Blob (1958) & The Blob (1988) Continuing our theme of taking a deep dive into an original film and its remake, this time we're looking at a pair with exactly 30 years between them: The Blob, from 1958, and its 1988 remake. A lot had changed in those three decades, especially on the technical side, with advancements in special makeup effects definitely upping the ante on what we see on screen. But the remake also retains much of the same small-town feel and trappings of the original. With these two entries, it's interesting to see the similarities just as much as how the remake plays out as its own creature; sometimes winking at the original, but ultimately leaving its own gelatinous footprint. For those out there that love to hate on remakes, here's yet another pair that break the mold and had given us two entertaining entries. Sit back and enjoy! Films mentioned in this episode: 4-D Man (1959), Beware! The Blob (1972), The Beyond (1981), The Blob (1958), The Blob (1988), The Brood (1979), Dark Star (1974), Daughter of Horror (1955), Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), Dinosaurus!

In this episode- recorded a few weeks after the passing of visionary director David Lynch- Kieran and I discuss the artist's surreal debut film, 'Eraserhead', as well as reflecting on his career as a whole.

Special guest Sean joins Dixon and John for one more go as we discuss another round of Recommends and/or Refutes! Sean, as a parent, subs in for Ryan bringing a family friendly mention in addition to The Boy and The Heron (2023), Dixon has David Lynch on the mind and revisits Eraserhead (1977) as a result, and John decided to join the theater going crowds and subject himself to Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005).

In heaven everything is fine but can the same be said for this movie? This is the story of a man who knocks up his girlfriend and enters an unhappy marriage. The twist? The film is directed by David Lynch so nothing about it is that straight forward. Join the boys as they discuss.  Links Does This Still Work? - TV Podcast https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/does-this-still-work-1088105 ‎Does This Still Work? on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/does-this-still-work/id1492570867 creatoraccountabilitynetwork.org.

You guys........we miss David Lynch. A lot. In part 1 of our David Lynch double feature, we discuss Eraserhead (1977), starring Jack Nance, Charlotte Stewart, Jeanne Bates, and Jack Fisk. In this film, factory worker Henry Cooper becomes a father while living in an industrial wasteland. Lynch famously called Eraserhead his most spiritual film but, even more famously, declined to explain why. He also hated when people tried to explain his films with words, but that's exactly what we're doing in this episode. Also in this episode: what makes art Art, Lynch's filmography and early family life, the curse of CinemaSins, the uncertainty of parenthood, and the comfort of the unknown in Lynch's films.

Long delayed but also long in the making, this week the Sneople are finally doing a David Lynch memorial episode! Helena and Matty go a little off the deep end this episode (as they do every episode they're left to their own devices), covering Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, Eraserhead, Elephant Man, Dune (obviously) and so so much more. Warning, this episode is full of spoilers/discussion of a variety of Lynch films (though we avoid Twin Peaks spoilers for the most part) - if you wanna avoid that, come back at a later date. It's okay! We'll wait. Thanks David - we'll be appreciating your work for years and years to come. XOXO to eraserhead baby, we love you little angel

I can tell you the exact date and place: October 16, 1986, at the Fine Arts Theater in downtown Chicago. I got to come of age as a moviegoer in the corporate dominated, era of the late 70's and early 80's. I was a child of "Jaws", "Star Wars", Indy and "Back to the Future". With occasional exceptions like "Stranger than Paradise" and "Blade Runner", American film in the early and mid 80's felt corporate and soulless. And then I saw "Blue Velvet", and my moviegoing life was saved. Skip now to nearly four years later, to those glorious two months in the spring of 1990 when "Twin Peaks" changed everything that television was and could be. For these moments, and so many more, we use Episode 60 to pay a last tribute to Hollywood's favorite Eagle Scout, the irreplaceable David Lynch. What separates Lynch from almost every other filmmaker, was that whereas most great directors were filmmakers who evolved into artists, Lynch was an artist (a celebrated painter, composer) who happened to choose filmmaking as his major means of expression. And when the filmmaking money dried up after "Inland Empire"'s failure, he simply turned to other art forms to express what he wanted to say. Lynch was most certainly a surrealist, every bit as much as Dali, Magritte or De Chirico were, but he was, as one critic termed him, a “populist surrealist”. In his films, the line between dream and reality (or between reality and film in his later works) is blurred. This makes sense, since surrealism is founded on dreams and dreamlike juxtapositions. Lynch, like those great painters he so admired and emulated, was an artist of the unconscious and the uncanny. But for all the serious artistic ambition, everything he created was leavened with that art-school sense of humor, off-center and dry as a bone. For all of his unsettling imagery and the deep questions his work raised about the nature of identity, he seemed, at least from the outside, to have led the happiest of lives. Raised mainly in Missoula, Montana, Lynch often paid tribute to the simple quotidian beauties of life in small-town America (think Twin Peaks, Lumberton, the Iowa and Wisconsin towns we see in "The Straight Story") while also, as in the opening of "Blue Velvet", reminding us of the darkness that often lies just beneath those finely-manicured lawns. For all of his artistic sophistication, he never even came close to an artsy sense of condescending irony; it's perfect that he spent the last years of his life sending in daily weather reports to the LA public radio station for broadcast. No winks, no air quotes—just the desire to share a genuine excitement about the miracles of nature. And for an artist who was such a unique stylist that he was one of the last to become an adjective (we all know “Lynchian” filmmaking when we see it), he was at the same time constantly paying tribute to film history; consider the endless "Wizard of Oz" references in "Wild at Heart", or casting just about all of the hot new movie stars of 1961 in the original "Twin Peaks" series. How perfectly fitting it was, then, to watch him, in his final and uncredited big screen appearance, playing a cranky John Ford in Spielberg's "The Fablemans". For our tribute to Lynch (which is more than they did for him at this year's Oscars), we eschewed our usual formula and chose not to do a chronological reckoning of Lynch's work and its impact from "Eraserhead" to "Inland Empire". This episode, like the director's work itself, is more associative and non-linear. In the end, we conclude that David Lynch, that Man from Another Place, is someone whose absence makes the world that much poorer a spot to live in. To quote the repeated incantation from "Blue Velvet", now it's dark.

In January 2025, the iconic visionary filmmaker David Lynch passed away. His films invite numerous interpretations about humanity, creativity, dreams, fears, and they seem to have given entire generations of people open permission to be weird. Since we had never covered him on the show before, we decided to make David Lynch's films the centerpiece of this year's creator profile.We start with his first feature film, ERASERHEAD. It's a film that took him nearly five years to make and has invited countless debates and interpretations in the years since for its sparse, nightmarish interests. We're joined by Matt Ruff and Vera Goudie this week as we kick off an entire run through David Lynch's catalogue.We're glad you're here and we hope you enjoy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“I'M NOT AN ANIMAL! I'M A HUMAN BEING!”As you may already know, we lost one of the great ones this year. In honor of David Lynch, we decided to go back to one of the earlier films in his career, The Elephant Man from 1980, starring John Hurt and Anthony Hopkins. The film was nominated for eight Academy Awards, is considered to be one of the greatest films of all time, a critical and commercial success in what would have been David Lynch's second film and put a lot of eyes on his future, incredibly influential body of work. However, despite Lynch being Austin's favorite director of all time, he has never seen The Elephant Man! Well, on this episode, we fix that.The Elephant Man is not known to be an incredibly surreal film, but we discuss the various similarities and signature iconography Lynch can't help but include in all his films, including The Elephant Man. We talk about the use of dreams, the use of sound, and how his sense of humor shines through in a film that more linear than his other body of work.We also talk about how the film approaches the topic of how society treats an outcast with a deformity/disability. It's not uncommon for the Academy to pay attention to this genre of film, but something about The Elephant Man is very different. What might be contrived and cliche in other films feels deeply moving in this one. How does The Elephant Man stand out and distinguish itself from “Oscar bait“ films?We also talk about the way the film was made and how the film differs from the reality of life for Joseph Merrick, the real life person who lived with this condition that lead people to refer to him as The Elephant Man. How does David Lynch go from making a surrealist art film, Eraserhead, to a narratively linear biopic that tugs on the heart? How does comedy legend Mel Brooks go from making Blazing Saddles to producing The Elephant Man? How did a babysitter get her boyfriend nominated for an Oscar? How did this movie invent an entirely new category the Academy had to pay attention to? We talk about all of this and more!This episode was very special for us and took a little bit of time to brew. With the changes in technology one would think more films would be more accessible to view at our convenience, but in fact that not the case for some films that are culturally significant like The Elephant Man. As of recording the episode we couldn't find the film digitally streaming/renting anywhere, but with luck we did manage to find the film on DVD at a reasonable price. After watching the film we might actually spring for that premium Criterion Collection version, because this film really is that special. In fact, the late John Hurt said in the making of documentary “If anyone isn't moved by the end of the film, I don't think I'd want that person in my life.“ We hope you enjoy this episode and seek the film out yourself, or hit us up about a potential screening!Music is from Triune Digital and audio clips pulled from movies we will be reviewing in other episodes.Artwork by @jannelle_o

It's a fever dream, a dream about a fever, and a fever about a dream. On this episode, we're joined by guest and friend of the pod, Michael J. O'Connor as we talk about 1977's Eraserhead--the FIRST DAVID LYNCH FILM. We're talking strange babies (critters), tall hair, pipes all over town, and next door neighbors. Really, the episode defies a single explanation, just like its subject. Plus, we talk MouthGarf, play I See What You Did There, and have a damn fine time doing it too. Lastly, we bid a fond farewell-for-now to Chelsea... Thank you so much for being part of this show!

In this week's tribute, Janet, John, (and Pen) celebrate the life and career of a truly legendary artist, director, and filmmaker. He turned suburbia, teen angst, and small town life into objects of horror, admiration, and pity. Genius, artist, and madman… It's David Lynch! While Lynch had little interest in schoolwork growing up, a love for painting brought him to the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. He would later shock the movie business with a student film in response to the madness of America in the days of Vietnam. With a career spanning over five decades, Lynch is known for his incredibly vivid, unforgettable, and dreamlike films including Eraserhead (1977), The Elephant Man (1980), Dune (1984), Blue Velvet (1986), Wild at Heart, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992), Lost Highway (1997), Mulholland Drive (2001), and more. He received the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in 2006, an Academy Honorary Award, and five Primetime Emmy Award nominations for surrealist horror-mystery series Twin Peaks.  To learn more about this episode and others, visit the official Cinema Sounds & Secrets website!  

Dhruv and Cris take a minor detour from the endlessly mysterious world(s) of David Lynch to a somewhat more familiar one in their second (of they don't know how many) eps on David Lynch. And joining them is a returning guest, Arijit Paul, who is thankful to Lynch (especially his work in "Eraserhead") for not only inspiring him to pursue a career in (film) sound but also for validating his love for cigarettes.We listen to Arijit's wonderfully strange stories of discovering Lynch and the strange memories his films inspire in him before talking in detail about one of Lynch's more "conventional" movies -- "The Elephant Man" (1980), which both Dhruv and Cris are decidedly more mixed on than Arijit. Listen to the full episode to hear them talk about why they love half the movie and not the entirety of it and why David Lynch -- even minus all the bursts of surrealism -- is an incredible filmmaker.

Dhruv and Cris are entering the endlessly mysterious world(s) of David Lynch for the first time (of many!) this year. And joining them, in his very first (QID) outing, is Devarsi Ghosh (@devarsighosh), a film journalist doubling as their Lynch guide for this trip to Lynch's nightmarish evocation of Philadelphia in his feature-length debut film, "Eraserhead" (1977).Before reaching there, however, they all describe their introductions to Lynch Land, what it feels like being there, and why nobody can even come close to creating a similar feeling of that today. (They do question if they themselves are “grumpy cynics," but that's only to conclude that that's the only appropriate response to have given the drek they're served up today). Listen to the full episode to hear them then talk about their experience of "Eraserhead" - intended very much NOT as an “ending explained” breakdown of it; the objective - throughout all our episodes on Lynch's films - will be to preserve the mystery of his works, not undermine it!Regardless, major spoilers for “Eraserhead”!TIME CODES Introductions to David Lynch: [00:00 - 31:51]The "Dune" Caveat: [31:51 - 34:05]Impossibility of "Intuitive" Filmmaking Today: [34:05 - 56:06]"Eraserhead" (1977): [56:06 - 01:46:18]Outro: [01:46:18 - 01:50:47]TEXT REFERENCED REPEATEDLY"Room to Dream" (David Lynch & Kristine McKenna).AUDIO/VIDEO EXCERPTS REFERENCED EXTENSIVELY1.

In which we discuss the magical cinematic language of David Lynch, focusing on three of his most challenging movies, and lovingly (I hope) dig at him for his largely blah memoir. 

Somehow, David Lynch's film career arrived fully formed with the surreal black comedy, "Eraserhead." This episode kicks off our "Films of David Lynch" season. First, we discuss the man himself, and why we are so excited for this season, and then we get in deep with "Eraserhead." We discuss the history of the film, its long production, and its uphill battle to be finished. We then dive into the film giving our interpretations as well as cautioning over-explaining Lynch. We hop you enjoy this as much as we did making it.Thank you so much for listening!Created by Spike Alkire & Jake KelleyTheme Song by Breck McGoughFollow us on Instagram: @DoubleBillChillLetterboxd: FartsDomino44

Il 16 gennaio 2025, il mondo del cinema ha perso uno dei suoi registi più visionari: David Lynch. Nato il 20 gennaio 1946 a Missoula, nel Montana, Lynch ha rivoluzionato il cinema e la televisione con opere che sfidano ogni convenzione. Attraverso uno stile unico che fonde il surreale con il perturbante, è riuscito a trasformare la percezione del quotidiano, mostrando la bellezza e la paura che si celano dietro la realtà. Dall'orrore psicologico di Eraserhead alla sofisticata narrazione di Mulholland Drive, Lynch ha esplorato l'oscurità dell'animo umano, dando vita a un cinema che non si limita a raccontare storie, ma invita lo spettatore a guardare oltre l'ordinario. Ma come ha fatto un regista come Lynch, spesso considerato un enigma, a diventare uno dei pionieri della "prestige TV" con Twin Peaks? E in che modo la sua eredità continua a influenzare il cinema e la cultura popolare oggi, dopo la sua morte nel gennaio 2025? Ne parliamo insieme a Laura Scaramozzino, editor, coach letteraria, nonché autrice premiata di novelle e romanzi noir. Iscriviti al gruppo Telegram per interagire con noi e per non perderti nessuna delle novità in anteprima e degli approfondimenti sulle puntate: https://t.me/LucePodcast Se vuoi ascoltarci senza filtri e sostenere il nostro lavoro, da oggi è possibile abbonarsi al nostro canale Patreon e accedere a contenuti bonus esclusivi tramite questo link: patreon.com/LucePodcast

Synopsis Eraserhead is a movie about an awkward man named Henry who reconnects with his lost lover Mary over a lovely dinner of small chickens. They're the same as the big chickens except for small. After finding out the shocking news that Mary has given birth to Henry's child, the two get hitched and strap in for the slow steady life of a settled family. The baby soon causes turmoil in the young couple's life and Henry must learn what fatherhood truly means in the depths of the sleepless nights and constant screaming. There's some other stuff that happens but honestly I don't know what any of it means. Review of Eraserhead Eraserhead is one of those movies that I want to like more than I do. The whole time I'm watching it I'm sitting there thinking to myself “Yes! This is so unique and thought-provoking. I'm so glad art like this exists! …how much longer is left of this movie? I found myself checking the runtime at several points hoping it was almost over only to realize only 15 minutes had passed by. However, to this movie's credit, it truly is a spectacle. Many have likened this movie to what experiencing a nightmare or a strange dream feels like. Time moves awkwardly slow, a low hum and sharp static hang over most of the scenes, and even the mere movements of the characters feel so off. If you are going into this movie expecting to understand it or get the message, you may be disappointed to find that there may not even be one. Though despite Lynches ethereal style of movie making I still feel like I caught themes of the stress of marriage and fatherhood, dealing with overbearing prudish in-laws, and the horror that is whatever newborns simply are. As a father of a small baby myself, I felt an attachment to the small creature that they attempted to pass off as a premature child, and the sheer fragility of an infant felt close to home for me. This movie pulled off the exact feat it was going for. It made me feel something. Even if that something was an eerie, stilted, boring, nervous feeling, at least its something. I said a lot of negative things but in reality I actually do find value and even enjoyment in this movie in a weird kind of way. Score 7/10

Med Twin Peaks fick han hela världen att undra vem som mördade Laura Palmer. Det här är berättelsen om regissören som fångade allt det skeva med USA. Nya avsnitt från P3 ID hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. I början av 2025, när skoningslösa bränder härjar i Los Angeles, kommer ännu en svart rubrik: Kungen av LA, filmskaparen och konstnären David Lynch, har gått bort 78 år gammal. En hel värld sörjer visionären som kallades för den sista surrealisten.Med filmen ”Eraserhead” slår Lynch igenom i de smalare filmkretsarna i slutet av 70-talet. Men den märkliga svartvita filmen ska snart öppna dörren till Hollywood och den breda publiken. Mot bättre vetande tackar David Lynch ja till att axla rollen som regissör för science fiction-eposet ”Dune”. Fiaskot som följer hade kunnat sänka vilken gryende filmskaparkarriär som helst, men misslyckandet blir en språngbräda för Lynch att visa sitt sanna jag som berättare. I den följande filmen ”Blue velvet” gestaltar han det sömniga villa-amerika han växte upp i, och i vad som blir kännetecknande för hans stil låter han nattsvart ondska och psykosexuella begär krocka med bländvita staket och kromade motorhuvar. Med den epokgörande tv-serien ”Twin peaks” trollbinder han och medskaparen Mark Frost tittarna, som samlas i fikarum världen över för att diskutera svaret på frågan ”Vem mördade Laura Palmer?”.Men studiosystemets rigida ramar skulle gång på gång visa sig vara en för trång kostym för Lynch, som alltid gick sin egen väg för att inte kompromissa med sin vision. Trots det, eller tack vare det, hyllades han av sina kollegor som minns honom med värme som en iögonfallande kalufs höljd i ett moln av cigarettrök.Medverkande: Gunnar Bolin, kulturjournalist och författare, Alexandra Pascalidou, journalist och programledare, Johan Hilton, författare och kulturchef på Göteborgs-Posten, Jesper Ganslandt, regissör.Ljudklipp i avsnittet är hämtade från dokumentären ”The art life”, Bryn Mawr Film Institute, KGSM Mediacache, Hudson Union Society, BAFTA, Toby Keelers Youtubekanal, Alan Lopez youtubekanal, W Magazine, NPR, Siskel & Ebert At The Movies, Overheard with Evan Smith, BBC Global, Bob's Big Boy's Milkshakes, Palme d'Or Cannes, BBC Scene by Scene, The Golden Globes, The David Lynch Foundation samt verk ur Lynchs filmografi.

A rhizomatic discussion. Craig tells us his history with philosophy, and his journey through the work of Jung, Hillman, Deleuze and others. We then discuss Anti-Oedipus and some of the core concepts, such as the Deleuzian reinterpretation of desire and the unconscious, and the body without organs. Then, as a tribute to the late, great David Lynch, we attempt a Deleuzian intepretation of Eraserhead, which of course is impossible, because both Deleuze and Lynch would agree that the interpretation of signs and symbols as a theater of the unconscious is always a misinterpretation; or, as Lynch puts it, the talking is all up there on the screen.Visit Acid Horizon: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Lepht Hand Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1E9kBe72ce15ZcqaPT8uBOCraig's Philosopher's Tarot Deck: https://www.penguinrandomhouseretail.com/book/?isbn=9781914420917

You'll hear how his environment, from gritty streets to Los Angeles sunshine, played a pivotal role in his artistic development. We navigate the rollercoaster of Lynch's career, capturing his breakthrough with "Eraserhead" and his iconic television debut with "Twin Peaks," a show that forever changed the landscape of TV drama.Finally, we take a nostalgic look at the cultural phenomenon of "Twin Peaks," diving into the serendipitous creation of the sinister character Bob and the impact it had on actor Frank Silva's life.

The soundtrack to "Eraserhead" has been cited by many early industrial and noise artists as a major influence on their work, let alone the film itself. Today we discuss both the sound and sound he movie in honor of the passing of a legend. David Lynch, we hope that in heaven everything is indeed fine. 

In January, acclaimed filmmaker David Lynch died. He is known for films such as “Eraserhead” and “Blue Velvet,” but is also behind the award-winning show set in the Pacific Northwest, “Twin Peaks.” While much of the show was shot in a Los Angeles-based studio, exterior shots were filmed in Washington towns, including North Bend, Snoqualmie and Falls City. Katherine Cusumano is a freelance journalist and essayist. She, along with Oregon photojournalist Riley Yuan, went out to Twede’s Cafe in North Bend after hearing of Lynch’s death and reported on what they saw there for Longreads. Cusumano joins us to share her memories of the show and the legacy it has on the world around us.

David Lynch, who died last month at seventy-eight, was a director of images—one whose distinctive sensibility and instinct for combining the grotesque and the mundane have influenced a generation of artists in his wake. Lynch conjured surreal, sometimes hellish dreamscapes populated by strange figures and supernatural forces lurking beneath wholesome American idylls. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz revisit Lynch's landmark works and reflect on their resonance today. They discuss his 1986 film, “Blue Velvet”; the television series “Twin Peaks,” whose story and setting Lynch returned to throughout his career; and “Mulholland Drive,” his so-called “poisonous valentine to Hollywood.” Lynch's stories often resist interpretation, and the director himself refused to ascribe any one meaning to his work. In a way, this openness to multiple readings is at the heart of his appeal. “Reality, too, offers many unsolvable puzzles,” Cunningham says. “The artist who says, ‘I trust that if I offer you this, you will come out with something—even if it's not something that I programmed in advance'—that always gives me hope.” Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Eraserhead” (1977)“Blue Velvet” (1986)“Twin Peaks” (1990-91)“Mulholland Drive” (2001)“Dune” (1984)“Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me” (1992)“Twin Peaks: The Return” (2017)“David Lynch Keeps His Head,” by David Foster Wallace (Premiere)David Lynch's P.S.A. for the New York Department of Sanitation“Severance” (2022—)“David Lynch's Outsized Influence on Photography,” in ApertureComme des Garçons SS16Prada AW13David Lynch's Weather ReportsNew episodes drop every Thursday.

David Lynch passed away on January 15th, 2025, leaving behind a body of work that reshaped the landscape of cinema and television. Few artists have delved as deeply into the strange, the beautiful, and the terrifying as Lynch, and few have had as profound an influence on Weird Studies. His films have long been a touchstone for JF and Phil's discussions on art, philosophy, and the nature of the weird. To honor his memory, they decided to devote an episode to Lynch's work as a whole, with special attention paid to Eraserhead—the nightmarish debut that announced his singular vision to the world. A study in dread, desire, and the uncanny, Eraserhead remains one of the most disturbing and mysterious works of American cinema. In this episode, we explore what makes it so powerful and how it connects to Lynch's larger artistic project.

You've got your good things and I've got mine in this episode on David Lynch's Eraserhead.

Dive into the surreal world of "The Substance" (2024), where Demi Moore's stunning performance takes her from Hollywood darling to grotesque visionary. With nods to The Shining and the insanity of Eraserhead, this movie punches through traditional narratives and straight into the realm of allegory. But what exactly is it an allegory for? Join us as we dissect this bizarre, critically acclaimed Oscar nominee.

Filmmaker and painter David Lynch died January 15 at age 78. He spoke with Terry Gross in 1994 about making his surrealist first movie, Eraserhead, leaving things up for interpretation, and where he finds inspiration. Also, we'll hear from Isabella Rossellini who starred in Lynch's Blue Velvet as a nightclub singer, and Nicolas Cage, who worked with him in Wild At Heart. And our TV critic David Bianculli shares an appreciation. Also, Justin Chang reviews the new film supernatural thriller Presence.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

This week's Empire Podcast sees Chris Hewitt, Alex Godfrey and Beth Webb bid a sad, but heartfelt, farewell to the great David Lynch, who has died at the age of 78. It's also an epic epitaph in many ways, clocking in at around 40 minutes, as the trio, all huge Lynch fans, pay tribute to the genius behind Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Mulholland Dr., Twin Peaks, and more. [44:18 - 1:26:33 approx] Elsewhere in the episode, which was recorded before the news broke of Lynch's passing, Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara and James Dyer to discuss great bike moments in movies, chat about the BAFTA nominations and the new Daredevil: Born Again trailer, and review A Complete Unknown, William Tell, Back In Action, and Wolf Man. And there are interviews aplenty, as Chris talks to a whole bunch of folks: there's a riotous, chaotic chat with A Real Pain stars Jesse Eisenberg (who also wrote and directed the movie) and Kieran Culkin, as they talk food, films, and feet [19:06 - 44:18 approx]; A Complete Unknown director James Mangold calls in from LA to talk about why he was drawn to Bob Dylan [1:43:03 - 1:57:39 approx]; and Wolf Man star, Christopher Abbott, who tells us why he might start a new club with Colin Farrell and Jeff Goldblum. [2:23:50 - 2:37:57 approx] Otherwise, it's all about Lynch, as it should be. Farewell, sir.
