The Elephant Man with Alex Ross Perry
We\u2019re getting in touch with our emotions this week, as Alex Ross Perry joins us to talk about Lynch\u2019s deeply-felt, sensitively-rendered 1980 classic THE ELEPHANT MAN. Is this the most \u201cnormal\u201d movie in Lynch\u2019s filmography? What does \u201cnormal\u201d mean, anyway? As with all Alex episodes, questions are posed and hotly debated, such as: What filmmakers, aside from David Lynch, made their most important work in the later part of their careers? What is the Lynch film that young people vibe with most strongly now? Did Michael Jackson actually attempt to purchase the Elephant Man\u2019s bones? When will the Cinematrix puzzle get rid of the godforsaken \u201cRotten Tomatoes score\u201d category? What does David Sims have against the famous David Foster Wallace profile of David Lynch?\xa0\n\nJoin our Patreon for franchise commentaries and bonus episodes.\nFollow us @blankcheckpod on Instagram, Threads, Facebook and X! \nBuy some real nerdy merch.\nConnect with other Blankies on our Reddit or Discord\nFor anything else, check out BlankCheckPod.com \nLearn more about your ad choices.
