Hello everyone!! Long time fan, first-time “caller” belle🎀 here! Does anybody here have a discord channel I could join— This episode and all things spooky season🎃 inspired me to reach out to some people to see if they would like to write a little song together. Xoxo belle

bellie

Really

Kathleen Hanley

CONGRATULATIONS DAVID & FORKY!

Henry Massey

I’m glad Crispin Glover got to be in at least one Lynch film. He has a great creepy clown song too.

BENJAMIN SHULTZ

I think they were a bit harsh on Lady Blue Shanghai. It’s 15 minutes of Lynchian atmosphere about Marion Cotillard being haunted by a purse. It rocks.

Aaron Anaya

Im mad you didn’t watch all of Dumbland. I like Dumbland, it would have been right at home on Adult Swim at 2am in the 2000s. It’s absolutely crude and absurd.

nelly

The music section in particular I enjoyed.

Josh Darby

To Ben: yes, this episode was fun :)

Josh Darby

everybody everybody

Jack R

Loved the Homestar Runner shout out.

Chase Janak

😂😂😂 that crazy clown time video was pure wickedness WTF

Peter Klaven

I would love to spend an afternoon with Lynch watching vids on Ebaumsworld.com

Zach Zweifler

These Are My Friends on Crazy Clown Time is a pretty solid track

Colin Roy

Happy Canada Day!

Marty TC (child-sized Cardassian)

My dad is a hot sauce fanatic and DA Bomb was regularly used in our house. He made me try it and David is 100% right.

Chauncey Telese

I’ve sooooo been waiting for this! Love Lynch’s everything, but especially his music! We’ve only covered Lost Highways soundtrack on my podcast but we’ll soon be watching along to Lynch’s music videos both as a performer and director!

MonoStereoVideo

I’ve always loved Lynch’s definition of Crazy Clown Time: “It's a situation that happens when several people get together and drink a lot of beer. Some people feel it's kind of sinister, to me it's not. It takes them to a deeper place of fun, a crazier place of fun, a higher place of fun. People will create like crazy on a Saturday night.”

John Cicco

STRIKE THAT, the Crazy Clown Time video has the same motifs!, as the Duran Duran concert.

Christopher Teuma

totally chill and normal episode for a chill and normal day.

Trevor McCandless

lol I saw “victims of sin” in a theater this weekend and the criterion logo played before the screening. I can imagine David attacking the screen if he had been there

Fresh Dill

Very validating to hear the July 4 (lack of) release discussion. I spent all summer complaining about this.

Max Carwile

That narrative about Netflix vs Coda was fascinating, I never thought of it that way before

Owen Phillips

BUT, the one missing great work is the Duran Duran concert.

Christopher Teuma

I love all of this stuff so much and am so happy we're going this deep.

Christopher Teuma

And On The Air is pure fun, and pure joy. AND weird and creepy and existentially askew.

Christopher Teuma

Dumbland is HIGH. ART.

Christopher Teuma

it made me feel a pang of nostalgia that i was really surprised by

Jordan B. Anderson

i see a shit head

disk-kun, the mascot for the famicom disk system

when i look at you

disk-kun, the mascot for the famicom disk system

“Culture grew so big again for a minute that it could let him (Lynch) back in” was I thought very well put

LS

But full disclosure, I also super duper love Dumbland

Amos Happ

I really hope they watch On the Air. It’s insanely insanely funny at times. Like can’t breathe funny

Amos Happ

Adore all of this mess

David Massey

i'm looking forward to watching these incredibly normal works
