    Movies: They're Pretty Good!

    A podcast for film buffs from a lifelong fan of cinema. Every week I discuss one of my favorite films, with a few new ones sprinkled in here and there. I break down the film and talk about the parts that stick out to me. I also like to keep it casual and not take things too seriously, so the is a fair amount of comedy as well. If you’re a fan of movies, from the classics to the modern era, this podcast is for you!

    Blue Velvet (1986)

    Prepare to enter a labyrinth of mystery and intrigue as we journey into the heart of David Lynch's iconic film, Blue Velvet. This episode promises to reveal the unsettling power dynamics and complex relationships that exist beneath the movie's seemingly idyllic small-town facade. Hear how the masterful performances of Laura Dern and Dennis Hopper contribute to the chilling narrative that makes this film a true Lynchian masterpiece.

    We continue our exploration, tracing the protagonist Jeffrey's descent into a world of deceit and danger. Our analysis uncovers shocking revelations and unnerving incidents that will leave you on the edge of your seat. We also draw fascinating parallels between the fictional tale and Lynch's own childhood, providing a unique perspective on the narrative.

    Finally, we dissect and discuss the film's chilling yet satisfying ending. Join us as we explore Jeffrey's resourcefulness, the cathartic reunion of Dorothy and her son Donny, and the surreal nature of the happy ending. As we conclude, we'll leave you with an urge to explore more of Lynch's compelling filmography. This episode guarantees an unforgettable exploration of one of cinema's most haunting and profound narratives, and we can't wait to share it with you. Tune in for an episode that's as darkly captivating as the film it dissects.
