In this final episode of our David Lynch arc, we delve into one of his most acclaimed and complex films, 'Mulholland Drive' from 2001. Richard Lewis, Thorin, and MonteCristo offer contrasting views, discussing the film's plot, themes, and surrealistic elements. They debate whether the film is a profound commentary on Hollywood and the nature of reality or an overly pretentious piece. Our hosts explain the plot of this famously non-linear film and provide their interpretations of its more enigmatic elements. They also explore the influence of psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan on Lynch's work and analyze the infamous '10 clues' Lynch provided for understanding the film in the DVD release. Additionally, they touch on Lynch's career trajectory, his love for Americana, and how his work bridges various genres. Stay tuned for the announcement of our next arc focusing on Robert Eggers, where we'll explore his films 'The Witch,' 'The Lighthouse,' 'The Northman,' and 'Nosferatu.'
