Curtis, John, and Magill FOOTE are BACK for the latest David Lynch watch series entry: 1987's bizarro BLUE VELVET, starring Laura Dern, Kyle MacLachlan, Dennis Hopper, Brad Dourif, and Isabella Rossellini. The boys discuss the latest news and what they watched before diving into the film. Hot topics include its links to TWIN PEAKS, the psychosexual aspects, the weirdness, and its place in Lynch's filmography.
Tune in next time for John and John's deep dive into John Cassavetes' FACES (1968)!
