Final stop on Lynch Lane—until we convene sometime next year to cover "Twin Peaks" in its entirety!
Dhruv and Cris are joined by up-and-coming experimental filmmaker Rushnan Jaleel (last heard in our "Lost Highway" episode!) to discuss "Inland Empire" -- Lynch's most "difficult" film that the director describes simply as a film about "a woman in trouble."
Listen to the full episode to hear how differently Rushnan and Dhruv see the film across their repeated viewings, and why -- on his first viewing -- Cris is the "gurl who doesn't get it."
Spoilers, of course, for "Inland Empire."
