Description

You guys........we miss David Lynch. A lot.

In part 1 of our David Lynch double feature, we discuss Eraserhead (1977), starring Jack Nance, Charlotte Stewart, Jeanne Bates, and Jack Fisk. In this film, factory worker Henry Cooper becomes a father while living in an industrial wasteland.

Lynch famously called Eraserhead his most spiritual film but, even more famously, declined to explain why. He also hated when people tried to explain his films with words, but that's exactly what we're doing in this episode. Also in this episode: what makes art Art, Lynch's filmography and early family life, the curse of CinemaSins, the uncertainty of parenthood, and the comfort of the unknown in Lynch's films.
