Mulholland Drive

David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive (2001) is in the same neighborhood as Billy Wilder’s Sunset Blvd and asks us to think about similar ideas: the power of self-delusion, the seductive nature of fame, and what happens to a dead dream. Join Mike and Dan for a conversation about what they call “red arrow videos” on YouTube and what good directors know about their audiences. We all know that movies are illusions—but we keep falling for them anyway. So grab that blue key and give it a listen! Just watch out for the man behind Winkie’s.
Interested in David Lynch? Listen here to Courtenay Stallings interviewed on the New Books Network about her book Laura’s Ghost: Women Speak about Twin Peaks. You can find a collection of interviews with Lynch here and his autobiography here.
