How To Understand David Lynch

“Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you’ve got to go deeper.”  David Lynch pushed the boundaries of filmmaking. He was known for his surrealism, his expressionism, his images, and, much of the time, for not making sense. He certainly wasn’t interested in explaining himself to the audience. But the genius of David might actually be how much, at his best, he really did make sense, he really did have something to say. So…how does one figure that out? WE DISCUSS!

Also, Josh recommends Owning Mahoney, and Ira recommends Conclave, which is on Peacock.

Rest In Peace, David. You will always be the best of us. Thanks for all the fish.
