Very Bad Wizards

Episode 306: What to Expect When You're Expecting (David Lynch's "Eraserhead" with Barry Lam)


Listen Later

David and Tamler welcome Barry Lam back to the show. In the first segment we violate one of our own rules by talking about his new book "Fewer Rules, Better People", a full frontal attack on David’s strict Kantian worldview. Then we dive DEEP into David Lynch’s first movie, "Eraserhead," and eventually arrive at a few coherent interpretations of Lynch’s “most spiritual film."
