Lynchtober on Cinphomaniac continues with Blue Velvet,  David Lynch's 1986 Psychological Thriller and Neo-Noir - some may say "masterpiece" (we don't, but we love it none the less), starring Kyle MacLachlan, Laura Dern, Isabella Rossellini, and Dennis Hopper. Marcus and Dana talk about that iconic cast, its uniting of Lynch with composer Angelo Badalamenti and vocalist Julee Cruise, the twisted brilliance of Hopper as the meme machine Sandman - Frank Booth, the complexity of tackling the film's relationship to misogyny and consent via both its roots in the Noir genre and the films Freudian explorations of sexual desire and fetish, as well as the writing of the female characters - Dorthy and Sandy, the economic and political history - past and present - that inform how we should understand the post-industrial American small-city, what The Lost Footage warns us about the film that could've been, and the film's long lasting legacy and impact. All that and even more - in Part 2 of Lynchtober!
