David Lynch's Blue Velvet | The Strange Story (Part 3) #154

June 15

1h 47m

Episode Description

After stumbling through the industrial hellscapes of Pennsylvania and Victorian-era England, Dhruv, Cris, and Arijit find themselves -- somewhat miraculously -- in the town of Lynchian Lumberton. Here, there is no darkness - it's colorful and cheery in the way that only the most gorgeous of Technicolor dreams can be. Is it an illusion, genuine, or both?

Listen to the full episode to hear them try to make sense of Lynch's "Blue Velvet" -- which, they're glad to admit, left them bedazzled (on their rewatches) in the best possible sense.

Major spoilers, of course, for "Blue Velvet."

(Apologies for finding a way to insert "Housefull 5A and 5B" into the intro of this discussion!)
