We're nearing the end of our series in a couple of weeks about the filmography of the late David Lynch. We turn this week to his final feature film, a wildly experimental and divisive film called INLAND EMPIRE. An exercise in cinematic experimentation to its core, Inland Empire is one of Lynch's most difficult films to figure out. It has a stream of conscience, non-linear narrative structure that often sees the same performers playing multiple roles without clear transitions from one scene to the next. Although clearly exploring some fascinating ideas, it is a film that tests the patience of even the most avid Lynch enthusiast.

We gather this week with friends of the show Jackson Harper and Dave Courtney to try to get to the bottom of what the film is attempting and finding some remarkably profound and even moving discoveries along the way. Whether or not you enjoyed David Lynch's Inland Empire, we really hope you enjoy our honest and thoughtful conversation about it.
