Episode Description: This week, we tumble headfirst into the subconscious as Jason is joined by the enigmatic Molly Razz to rank five of David Lynch’s most haunting cinematic visions. From industrial nightmares and small-town secrets to Hollywood hallucinations, we tackle the big questions: What is real? What is a performance? And where does that damn radiator song keep coming from?
Films Ranked:
-
Eraserhead (1977)
-
The Elephant Man (1980)
-
Blue Velvet (1986)
-
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992)
-
Mulholland Drive (2001)
Is Eraserhead a surreal masterpiece or an anxiety dream gone on too long? Is Fire Walk with Me the secret key to Twin Peaks? Does Mulholland Drive mark the apex of Lynch’s dream logic? And how many mysteries can be packed into one velvet curtain?
Molly brings razor-sharp insight, Jason brings existential dread, and together they attempt the impossible: ranking the unrankable.
