S1E27 - Twin Peaks - Fire Walk With Me

The first Episode of Registry in a while looks at David Lynch's first time working on a film from a TV show, and why that alone makes it worth while. Oh, and why it's a freakin' brilliant movie. If you wanna drop me a line - [email protected]

S1E29 - Ed Wood

Tim Burton is a filmmaker who is often defined by his style. Ed Wood may be the film that defines him by his heart.

S1E30 - Eraserhead

David Lynch's most horrifying filmn, and included on the National Film Registry in 2004-ish, I look at why it's such an important work, and why it really informs the rest of the Lynchian ouevre.

S1E32 - 9-to-5

A wonderful 1980s comedy that gives an incredible view of the work place and set the stage of women-driven comedies!
