A young man, a severed ear, and a dark mystery in the heart of small-town America. One of David Lynch's most iconic films is also one of his most accessible, and most beloved. We talk the imagery, themes, and Lynchian elements embedded throughout the film, as well as the way they pave the path towards Twin Peaks.

Also! David Foster Wallace makes (another) appearance. We talk the deleted scenes from this film. And we decide that Heineken is clearly the superior beer (not really PBR fans, don't worry).

Hope you join us for another jump into David Lynch's world of odd and beautiful Americana with Blue Velvet.

Starring: Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini, Dennis Hopper, Laura Dern
