Double Bill Chill – Details, episodes & analysis

Somehow, David Lynch's film career arrived fully formed with the surreal black comedy, "Eraserhead." This episode kicks off our "Films of David Lynch" season. First, we discuss the man himself, and why we are so excited for this season, and then we get in deep with "Eraserhead." We discuss the history of the film, its long production, and its uphill battle to be finished. We then dive into the film giving our interpretations as well as cautioning over-explaining Lynch. We hop you enjoy this as much as we did making it.

Thank you so much for listening!

It's OSCAR SEASON!!! We are beginning our annual Oscar Season with the 75th anniversary of "All About Eve." We talk a lot about this movie, so much so that we broke the SD card toward the end, and the sound got a little messed up. We are still proud of this episode, and the problem has now been fixed. There are a few missing sentences toward the end, but the beginning may be our best movie history ever! Enjoy as we gush over "All About Eve."

Thank you so much for listening!
