MOVIE DISCUSSION:

Melvin's wife Kathryn joins him for an episode discussing Eraserhead, David Lynch's off-beat absurdist film featuring cinema's favorite lil' baby! From encroaching industrialization to a wealth of understated humor, Eraserhead includes an extreme degree of themes and metaphors, and the two\\xa0 explore it all in this engaging and educational episode!

Topics:

  • (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 28-minutes of Kathryn quizzing her husband Melvin on early childhood development and safety! Their findings will decide the fate of their future child! Hooray! (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
  • Eraserhead isn't really about the plot (although it does have a plot!). It's much more a movie about the vibe.
  • Eraserhead is likely not only very easy to understand but incredibly related to people who already feel weird, awkward, or ostracized from whatever is considered "normal" in a social environment.
  • Discussing the "Woman in the Radiator".
  • There's a very clear sexual theme playing throughout\\xa0Eraserhead but the film itself is by no means sexual, nor is it inherently about sexuality.
  • Kathryn, "Say what you will about, like, the weird imagery, but [Eraserhead] is not a movie that divorces sex from life."
  • Describing and interpreting the Eraserhead Baby.
  • Wondering if the world of the film is literal, metaphorical, but also realizing that ultimately it doesn't matter.
  • Discussing the climax and the eraser factory.
