CCU13: Mulholland Drive (2001) & Unraveling the Mystery
Aaron and Mark talk about David Lynch’s recent Criterion Collection release of Mulholland Drive. We talk about the nature of the production, from pilot to feature, the randomness, the allure of Naomi Watts, and why the film is so popular. We then turn the blue key and try to make sense of some of the reasonable and wild theories out there. Do we solve this possible? Maybe, maybe not, but we at least make some sense out of it.

Reblogged this on Movie Musings and Podcastings.
Epic movie and epic podcast! I envision this getting more replay value than any other Criterion.
Thanks! We are thrilled with the response so far!
Great discussion, Aaron and Mark. Really enjoyed your analysis even though I have never seen this film.
Also, I really liked your reminiscing about your days in Hollywood, Aaron.
Still have no idea on what this movie is about, but your discussion helps. may need to re listen a few more times
