American film director and artist
POPULARITY
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.
Zach and Ben continue on the dissociative adventure of exploring the Lynchian world. Lost Highway was Lynch's darkest and most fearless work to date upon its release in 1997...sadly audiences did not really appreciate it at the time. Don't worry though, the Movie Vault spent enough time on Lost Highway this episode to make up for the film's initial negative reception!Instagram-@TheMovieVaultPod Email us- themovievaultpod@gmail.com YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@lastresortnetworkThis episode is brought to you by Hedman Anglin Agency.

Yet these ingredients are lifeless without the discourse and the incredible stories that transform them into objects of desire.

Ryan is joined by a trio of David Lynch fans - Edward Finan, Alex Flores, and Hunter Vance - to discuss Lynch's trademark cinematic touch in one of his most prominent feature films, Blue Velvet (1986)
"Someone might say, I don't understand music; but most people experience music emotionally and would agree that music is an abstraction. You don't need to put music into words right away—you just listen. Cinema is a lot like music. It can be very abstract, but people have a yearning to make intellectual sense of it, to put it right into words." - David LynchSomeone might say the world lost a giant earlier this year, when the beloved David Lynch shrugged off this mortal coil and bid farewell to the world. As sad as David's passing is, we're beyond lucky to have access to his art and we can experience a work of David Lynch as many times as we want. We can also have a great discussion and a fine playlist that highlights some of the best Lynchian musical moments.

[School of Movies 2025] As soon as we saw this thickly atmospheric, Lynchian lucid nightmare from 2024, Sharon and I knew we had to do a very particular show on it. Since the entire context is trans-anxiety which the majority of cisgender people may find impenetrably mystifying we needed an all-trans/enby/non-cis cast of guests to walk us through the significance. On the surface it is a story about a chap named Owen who is lonely and isolated child of the mid-1990s, meeting lonely, isolated Maddy and bonding over a mutual obsession with a cheesy sci-fi TV show for teenagers called "The Pink Opaque". Beneath that surface there is a whole world of uncertainty, denial, distraction and pain. Strap in, because this one is hard, long and has no relief at the end, culminating in a cautionary tale about running from yourself. Huge thanks to everyone involved with this quite astonishing endeavour. We buttoned our lips and let these good people talk for the majority of the three hour runtime of this thing. Guests Laura Kate Dale Alejandra Vargas Aquila Edwards Victoria Luna B. Grieve Plus we have a suite of audio submissions from... Austin Wilden Rosa Ysassi Serata Villarreal Holly Dotson and Hanna Peregrine

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review, where this week we're taking a neon-lit, blood-soaked trip through the moody underworld of Bangkok with Nicolas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives (2013). If you thought Drive was a stylish slow burn, this one cranks up the stillness, strips back the dialogue, and drops you into a hallucinatory revenge opera that's equal parts mesmerizing and maddening.Ryan Gosling stars as Julian, a quiet, emotionally blank drug smuggler running a Muay Thai gym as a front in Bangkok. When his volatile brother Billy is murdered for committing an unspeakable crime, their monstrous mother Crystal (Kristin Scott Thomas) arrives in town demanding vengeance. Julian is reluctantly pulled into a spiral of violence and surreal symbolism, facing off against Chang (Vithaya Pansringarm), a sword-wielding police lieutenant who dispenses his own brutal, godlike justice. Refn drenches the screen in glowing reds and deep shadows, pairing every scene with an eerie, droning score from Cliff Martinez. The film is light on plot and even lighter on dialogue—Gosling speaks fewer than 20 lines—but the atmosphere is thick enough to cut with a katana.Only God Forgives is a fever dream of a film—icy cold yet visually scorching. It's like a revenge thriller that's been put through a Lynchian blender, leaving behind a hushed, haunted meditation on masculinity, vengeance, and judgement. If you want action, go elsewhere. If you want mood and madness, step right in.
Puerto Rico-born, LA-based multi-instrumentalist and one man band, Pachyman is set to release his fifth album Another Place on May 23. Building on his love of dub reggae by morphing it ever further into mind bending sonics, Pachy Garcia goes hard on “Hard To Part,” an almost Lynchian funk-filled jam.
Earlier this year, the world lost a giant. We here at ATTT HQ are big fans of artists. Artists, complicated and strange so they may seem, are the lifeblood of creativity and man-and-woman-made joy on this bleak planet of ours. In the realm of film & television, David Lynch is in the pantheon of artistic creators, especially when you consider how expertly he incorporated music in his output. Here in Top Ten Songs From The Works Of David Lynch, we're joined by longtime friend of the pod, the immaculate Matt Dinan. We had a blast going through The Master's catalog and highlighting some of our favorite Lynchian musical moments. Picks 10-6 are revealed here in Part 1.

Welcome back to Watch With Jen. Just in time for the fifth anniversary of the podcast (which officially began on March 3, 2020), I'm releasing the first of at least a two-part episode devoted to L.A. Movies. Like everyone else, I watched in horror as the Santa Ana wind wildfires ripped through a city that I dearly love at the start of 2025. Unable to contribute financially to the many worthy charities and Go Fund Me accounts that were launched in its wake, nor volunteer on the ground from where I live in Phoenix, I figured the next best thing that I could do was to pay tribute to some of the wonderfully rich, diverse, & creatively inspiring films that have been made in the city. My earnest hope is that it might inspire more productions to shoot there in the future (which would bring necessary jobs back to L.A.) and also to give listeners a nice little reprieve from the stresses of this impossibly difficult year. Each week has felt like its own horror movie for so many people in my orbit, including myself. Our inaugural episode for season six features a staggeringly great lineup of artists & film minds. You'll hear from CALIFORNIA BEAR author Duane Swierczynski on JACKIE BROWN, Senior Vice President of The Black List Kate Hagen on MIRACLE MILE, film critic and UC Denver professor Walter Chaw on THE DRIVER & HICKEY & BOGGS, and WHO INVITED THEM filmmaker and author Duncan Birmingham on SWINGERS. A feature length tour of Los Angeles in the movies, I hope you enjoy the launch of Season 6. And as we head into my favorite season, perhaps it'll inspire you to get ready to visit the City of Angels again or at the very least, eagerly anticipate the second part of these talks which wander into Lynchian and Friedkin territory. Thank you so much for joining me these past five years; we'll be hitting the 250th episode of the podcast this season which is mind-boggling to me & I couldn't do it without your support.Originally Posted on Patreon (3/3/25) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/123479696Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless Shop (+ Direct Link to the Mug) Donate to the Pod via Ko-fi
In this shortcast edition of the Podcast for Social Research, BISR's Rebecca Ariel Porte, Ajay Singh Chaudhary, and Isi Litke discuss David Lynch's Mulholland Drive (2001). Conversation ranges over what it means for a thing to be "Lynchian," what it means for a thing to be surreal, why Mulholland Drive isn't easily reducible to pat explanation—and why that's a good thing, and the inextricability, modeled in the film, of dream life and ordinary reality. How, in film and life, do fantasy and reality merge? Why is Lynch particularly interested in Hollywood, that great dream factory? How does Lynchian melodrama, rubbing shoulders with Lynchian menace, give viewers the permission to feel things we otherwise deny ourselves in ordinary, waking life? What makes Lynch the premier poet of broken promises and shattered dreams?
RIP David Lynch, beloved director and otherworldly weirdo.

On January 15, the entertainment world lost a truly unique and highly influential talent….David Lynch (Blue Velvet, The Elephant Man, Twin Peaks) who passed away at the age of 78 from emphysema. Over his illustrious career, he directed twelve feature films and was nominated for four Oscars including Best Director for this acclaimed classic released in the fall of 2001. Considered by many fans and critics to be Lynch's best film, this mind-bending mystery has since garnered a devoted following from cinephiles who have enjoyed developing and sharing theories regarding its complex plot. The overall story mainly focuses on two women, one an amnesiac nick-named Rita (Laura Harring) and the other an aspiring actress named Betty (Naomi Watts) who is new to town. The town is Hollywood, where dreams of fame and fortune sometimes come true....though more often they lead to bad things. :o And as these two ladies develop a relationship.....well as most other Lynch stories go, let's just say that they get pretty strange. Also included among the stellar cast are Justin Theroux, Jeanne Bates, Robert Forster, Brent Briscoe, Patrick Fischler, Dan Hedaya, and Billy Ray Cyrus. (Yes you read that right.) Rest in Peace Mr. Lynch….your legacy will live on WELL beyond your time on this earth.

Labyrinth is a cult classic. But how did things get to this point? We have contrasting memories of its initial popularity. And we both agree it is not the best work from any of the major players involved. Now that Robert Eggers is involved with the sequel, what does the future hold?What does it mean when a film is described as Lynchian? From what we can tell, the definition has changed over the years. The only reason we are even covering 2016's Always Shine is because the word often used to describe it is “Lynchian”. It does fit one definition of the term. Unfortunately, that is not necessarily a good thing.At a very base level, it sounds like Mulholland Drive. But this is more than a movie about two actresses in Los Angeles. In a way, it is almost the exact opposite of Lynch's film. We talk about the odd way it tries to build mystery and tension, the characters, and its abrupt ending.It is no surprise that we are covering a movie from the Sundance Film Festival. It will be shocking to some that we are reviewing a movie that features alien tentacle sex. Of course, if you are a long time listener, you know we have been down this path before. Will this time be as good as the first time around?Touch Me has a lot going on. Along with inter-species sex, there are themes of codependency, friendship, and trust. It is filled with funny moments and has some great performances. But when it gets dark, it gets really ugly. Do the jarring tonal changes make it impossible to enjoy it?

Most of the time in the survival horror genre, we're dealing with the supernatural. We're dealing with normal everyday humans trying to explain and deal with being presented a very non-normal problem such as zombies, vampires, or monsters. But it's rare in the genre to have a game that focuses just as much on these supernatural elements, as it does on the larger philosophical questions of existence, sentience, memory, and love. In fact, I can think of only one other major example we've played for this show that even comes close, that being Silent Hill 2 Remake. You can imagine the surprise, and the joy then that Josh and I (Colin) felt when we started digging into Signalis. Signalis , released in October of 2022 and developed by the two person team of Rose Engine, is an ethereal and haunting journey through the psyche of a Replika unit named Elster. Touching on questions posed in movies like Blade Runner, and I am Robot, Signalis follows the story of one machine, implanted with human memories who tries to make sense of the world she finds herself in, full of horrors and monstrosities, all the while pushing to fulfill a promise she made to a human companion. Signalis is the journey of Elster and the player through labyrinths of mining colonies, into the dreamlike landscapes of Nowhere and eventually through the inner workings of the mind. Packed with stunning pixelated graphics, a mesmerizing soundtrack, and Lynchian dreamy first person sequences, Signalis does not disappoint. It is one of those games that will have you questioning if you truly understood what was happening all the way up until the very end. Josh and I do our best to expound on the story, the themes, the literary influences, and of course the core mechanics of Signalis in this episode. Having said that a game like this can be tough to talk about, with individual interpretations varying wildly. We hope that by listening you find something new to think about with this game that you hadn't considered before. And if you haven't played Signalis, we hope that you do, and then come back and listen. Happy Gaming, and take care!

It was an incredibly special experience to put on such an emotional story about broken hearts trying to heal in the weirdness of the California desert, everybody involved in the production bonded through the uniquely rigorous catharsis that occurred after conjuring such rawness in every performance. I can't remember who it was but it was either Kristin Condon, who co-leads the film as Henrietta and is a co-producer, or O-Lan Jones who plays Andra, who expressed that Serpentine Pink and the expansive possibilities within its surreal visual vocabulary, as well as the vibrational intimacy of the wounded characters, would make a rad indie movie. I was super moved and excited by the focus on the female-led filmmaking of an underheard LGBTQ+ story, as well as the idea of transforming the theatrical depiction of pain and the characters' wayward navigational attempts towards healing into an ambitiously poetic cinematic experience – at once personal and epic, highly stylized and on location on the spiritual vortices of the Joshua Tree desert.

What motivated me to make this movie was the beauty and raw emotion embedded in Megan Breen's words (Screenplay writer and playwright). The pain these characters endure is both devastating and strangely beautiful, and I felt compelled to bring their experiences to life. I love the desert and the visuals you can capture there. I wanted dance to be a part of the film and the strangeness, hostility of the desert to be a character as well. I knew it would require a unique approach—boxing gloves to tackle the challenging, brutal scenes, and soft mittens to smooth, coax, and nurture the words, scenes, guiding them into a compelling narrative flow. I also always love a good driving scene! I'm drawn to horror, the starkness of wilderness and desert landscapes, and the emotional complexity they evoke. I also love working with actors as sensitive and talented as this cast. This project offered the unique challenge of transforming a piece that began as a play and evolved into a film script into a cohesive and captivating narrative that offered a perspective not usually seen in cinema.

Tom Shone - author of The Nolan Variations and Martin Scorsese a Retrospective - joins John Bleasdale to talk about the work of David Lynch, following his passing. An article by Tom for Prospect Magazine can be read here: "Who could possibly follow in his footsteps? His impact went over the head of Hollywood and under the feet of his fellow filmmakers—cutting a zig-zagging path wide enough for one. The only person who could do Lynchian was Lynch. But the impact of his films went far and deep. The tremendous warmth of recollection that has surged on social media in the days after his death testifies to the many blessings he brought his collaborators—“I'm yelling from the bullhorn, Godspeed buddy Dave,” wrote Naomi Watts, his Mulholland Drive star, on Instagram—and also to the note of transcendence struck by even the darkest of his films. “I'm pretty sure I'm connected to the moon,” he tweeted in 2010. The Lady in the Radiator brings glad tidings. David Lynch was always out of this world." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

And we're back. Just like that, in the blink of an eye–or, depending on your perspective, what felt like several eternities–six months have passed since the last episode of Gobbledygeek. What happened? Where were we? Paul, Arlo, and third Gobbler Eric Sipple attempt to answer these questions on our season 16 premiere. Along the way, we eulogize master filmmaker David Lynch, discussing what made his Midwest surrealism so unique and why the “Lynchian” descriptor so often fails to capture his genius. We also run down a list of some of our favorite pop culture from last year, including I Saw the TV Glow (there's some disagreement), The Substance (ditto), Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees, and much, much more.

Greetings, customers. Last week, the world lost one of our boldest creators, the one and only David Lynch. On this episode of the Video Store Podcast, I recommend four of David Lynch's “most Lynchian” films. In the episode I explain why I didn't pick anything related to Twin Peaks or some of Lynch's more mainstream films, including The Elephant Man and Dine.In this episode you'll hear me use the phrase “these films are not for everybody” which I want to emphasize does not imply any sort of film snobbery or elitism. As I say in the episode, I like both really expensive sushi and fried burritos from gas stations. Mmm, burritos. My point is, Lynch's films aren't necessarily better than other types of films, they're just different and it's okay to like one, both, or neither. Wait, if you like neither, why are you here? Watch more movies!Here are the four films I am recommending this week. ERASERHEAD (1977) is Lynch's first feature length film and tells the story of Henry, a man who reconnects with his ex-girlfriend only to discover that she has given birth to their child, which doctors say “might be human.” The first time I watched Eraserhead I couldn't make heads or tails out of it but after a dozen or so viewings, it makes total sense! It's a slow burn, but worth a watch.BLUE VELVET (1986) is the most “mainstream” film on this week's list, although "there's a reason I keep putting “mainstream” in quotes. The film stars Kyle MacLachlan (fress off of Dune) as Jeffrey, a young man who, while walking through a field, discovers… a human ear. Jeffrey gains information regarding the investigation from Sandy (Laura Dern), a detective's daughter, which leads him to the apartment of a lounge singer who happens to be dating a violent criminal named Frank (Dennis Hopper). Things turn dark and it soon becomes unclear whether or not Jeffrey will escape his encounter with both of his ears… or his life.LOST HIGHWAY (1997) is perhaps the most difficult film to follow from a narrative standpoint. It stars Bill Pullman and Patricia Arquette as as Fred and Renee Madison, a couple of discover a VHS tape containing footage of the outside of their home. Soon a second tape is delivered that contains footage from inside their home of them sleeping, and the third tape contains something much worse, for which Bill goes to prison. One day Bill is locked in a cell and the next morning, out pops Pete Dayton, a petty criminal who isn't supposed to even be in prison. Pete is released and crosses paths with Alice… also played by Patricia Arquette. Sound weird? Trust me, we're just getting started.MULHOLLAND DRIVE (2001) is the last film on my list and is considered to be the greatest “Lynch” film. The mystery begins when Betty (Naomi Watts) discovers a woman with amnesia named Rita (Laura Harring) inside her apartment. The two women form a bond as they struggle to determine Rita's true identity, but by the end of the first act a dead body has been discovered and by the end of the second act everyone is playing different characters and your mind will explode. This film is like a dream that almost makes sense.David Lynch was a bit of an evil genius. He certainly did not march to anyone else's drum, and his desire to not just make genre-bending films but completely destroy what “films” mean will be missed. As I say in this week's episode, you may not like each of these films, but you'll never forget having watched one of them. This is a public episode.

We look back on the life and career of legendary Los Angeles director David Lynch. Known for “Blue Velvet,” “Mulholland Drive” and “Twin Peaks,” Lynch used dream-logic narratives to interrogate the American dream itself and to capture the dark beauty of Los Angeles, the city he dearly loved. He was also sunny in outlook, famously advising “keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.” Lynch's family announced his death on Thursday. He was 78. What is your favorite work by David Lynch? What did he mean to you? Guests: Rebecca Alter, staff writer who covers comedy and pop culture, Vulture Alexandre Philippe , filmmaker and director of the documentary “Lynch/Oz” Jackson Kim Murphy, associate news editor, Variety Ian Nathan, film writer and author, “David Lynch: A Retrospective”
LA City Councilmember Traci Park represents Pacific Palisades and has introduced a suite of legislation to respond to last week’s devastating wildfires and protect affected residents. In President Biden’s farewell speech, he listed his administration’s accomplishments and echoed another president when it came to a “tech industrial complex.” Critics review the latest film releases: “One of Them Days,” “Wolf Man,” “I'm Still Here,” and “Wish You Were Here.” Filmmaker David Lynch was known for an unconventional approach and non-linear storytelling. His name was used as an adjective — Lynchian — to express surreal normalcy. He died today at age 78.
