About this episode

The episode discusses David Lynch's film WILD AT HEART, exploring its themes, references, and cast chemistry.

"If you are truly wild at heart, you'll fight for your dreams.." This week on the podcast, we head back to the David Lynch Watch Series and discuss his beguiling, romantic road crime film: WILD AT HEART! We discuss this film's connection to the book; the very heavy Wizard of Oz references; the amazing Nic Cage/Laura Dern chemistry; the deep roster of Twin Peaks cast cameos; the soundtrack; and just how goddamn COOL this movie is. Before that, we run through some discussion topics, new releases, and what we watched this week. Next episode we discuss Spielberg's THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK.
