Movies: They're Pretty Good!

A podcast for film buffs from a lifelong fan of cinema. Every week I discuss one of my favorite films, with a few new ones sprinkled in here and there. I break down the film and talk about the parts that stick out to me. I also like to keep it casual and not take things too seriously, so the is a fair amount of comedy as well. If you’re a fan of movies, from the classics to the modern era, this podcast is for you!

The first film by the incredible David Lynch, which many interpret to be about the fear of adult responsibility. Lynch never revealed its true meaning, only stating that nobody ever got close to his interpretation.
