Special #7: Mulholland Drive

Lights! Camera! WTAF?!? This week, we follow our favorite mastermind on a dark and duplicative detour through Tinsel Town. We here at the 4-top thought—for a variety of reasons that we hope will become apparent—that this was the perfect moment to check out one of our favorite Lynch films, Mulholland Drive. Following our discussion of Episode 10, we jump back to 2001 to see what the director was up to in the period between “Fire Walk With Me” and Twin Peaks Season 3. In this very special special, Jennifer kicks us off by examining the resonances between the film and the show; Colin is seeing palimpsests everywhere; Damon is pondering the figure lurking behind Winkie’s; and Jonathan gets a hand stamp for Club Silencio and the portals beyond. For our Hollywood Twist, we ask again if all of David Lynch’s work unfurls in the same universe…
