SXE12: THE FINALE
<p>Believe it or not, we have arrived at the 100th and longest and final episode of ENTER THE VOID. On today's episode, your hosts Bill and Renan sit down together in person to reminisce about how they originally came up with the idea for this podcast, how they launched their earlier show KubrickCast, and even how they met in the first place. Next, they revisit their definition of a mindfuck movie for the last time, and then name their mindfuck "Mt. Rushmore" for both the greatest films covered on the series and their favorites... and a few of their <em>least</em> favorites. Plus, what are some films this show would cover if there was a season X+1? Which episodes were the most popular? They also take listener questions, addressing what kind of mindfuck movie they might make, what was the first mindfuck film, and could there still be a book in the future? You'll just have to listen! Finally, a massive thanks to all of Enter the Void's listeners and guest hosts and friends who helped to make this show far more popular than we could have ever imagined.</p> <p>Episode links:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://kubrickcast.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">KubrickCast</a></li> <li><a href= "https://enterthevoid.fm/post/130201957517/its-the-debut-episode-of-enter-the-void-we-hope" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S1E1: Phantom of the Paradise</a></li> <li><a href= "https://enterthevoid.fm/post/130684374992/in-the-second-installment-of-enter-the-void-we" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S1E2: Primer</a></li> <li><a href= "https://enterthevoid.fm/post/132548822027/lost-highway" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">S1E6: Lost Highway</a></li> <li><a href= "https://enterthevoid.fm/post/133932201237/enter-the-void" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">S1E9: Enter the Void</a></li> <li><a href= "https://enterthevoid.fm/post/134401090512/synecdoche-new-york" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S1E10: Synecdoche, New York</a></li> <li><a href="https://enterthevoid.fm/post/140341811787/eraserhead" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S2E1: Eraserhead</a></li> <li><a href="https://enterthevoid.fm/post/140746737767/brazil" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S2E2: Brazil</a></li> <li><a href= "https://enterthevoid.fm/post/143843110981/tree-of-life" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">S2E10: The Tree of Life</a></li> <li><a href= "https://enterthevoid.fm/post/149080226869/chungking-express" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S3E7: Chungking Express</a></li> <li><a href= "https://enterthevoid.fm/post/149416335477/world-of-tomorrow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S3E8: World of Tomorrow</a></li> <li><a href= "https://enterthevoid.fm/post/154170185037/last-year-at-marienbad" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S4E6: Last Year at Marienbad</a></li> <li><a href="https://enterthevoid.fm/post/158436330267/solaris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S5E1: Solaris</a></li> <li><a href= "https://enterthevoid.fm/post/160266275472/twin-peaks-fire-walk-with-me" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S5E8: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me</a></li> <li><a href= "https://enterthevoid.fm/post/163181690142/donnie-darko" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">S6E1: Donnie Darko</a></li> <li><a href= "https://enterthevoid.fm/post/165045634212/mulholland-drive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S6E8: Mulholland Drive</a></li> <li><a href= "https://enterthevoid.fm/post/170345215790/for-the-final-installment-of-the-seventh-season" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S7E8: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind</a></li> <li><a href= "https://enterthevoid.fm/post/172827406467/american-psycho" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">S8E1: American Psycho</a></li> <li><a href= "https://enterthevoid.fm/post/173735862202/holy-mountain" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">S8E5: The Holy Mountain</a></li> <li><a href= "https://enterthevoid.fm/post/178009273197/total-recall" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">S9E1: Total Recall</a></li> <li><a href= "https://enterthevoid.fm/post/178248240707/ducournau-raw" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">S9E2: Raw</a></li> <li><a href= "https://enterthevoid.fm/post/184249875072/mindfuck-television" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SXE6: Mindfuck Television</a></li> <li><a href="https://enterthevoid.fm/post/185863420341/blue-velvet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SXE11: Blue Velvet</a></li> </ul> <p>Show links:</p> <ul> <li>Subscribe: <a href= "http://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fus%2Fpodcast%2Fenter-the-void%2Fid1046983012%3Fmt%3D2&t=NTU4ZDRlYWNhOTJjMmFkOWUyMzg2YTU3ZTU5M2M3YjU4N2IzMGRjOSxkZ2pMdG1qcw%3D%3D&b=t%3Alkwwvy3XryueEyxDWxwKOQ&p=http%3A%2F%2Fenterthevoid.fm%2Fpost%2F158152319395%2Fseason-5-preview&m=1">Apple Podcasts</a></li> <li>Discuss: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/enterthevoidpodcast/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">ETV Podcast Club</a></li> <li>Follow: <a href= "http://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FEnter-The-Void-Podcast-1492493377734559%2F&t=Mzk1ODBjZGZlODI0OTM0ODVhM2Q4OTk3MzQxOTY5M2VlNWZkYWQyMixkZ2pMdG1qcw%3D%3D&b=t%3Alkwwvy3XryueEyxDWxwKOQ&p=http%3A%2F%2Fenterthevoid.fm%2Fpost%2F158152319395%2Fseason-5-preview&m=1">Facebook</a> + <a href="http://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.twitter.com%2Fenterthepod&t=NWY2ZDdmMDE4ZmVjZjZmNGE4OGUxMWEzZTUwZWVkODRhMDBlM2UyNyxkZ2pMdG1qcw%3D%3D&b=t%3Alkwwvy3XryueEyxDWxwKOQ&p=http%3A%2F%2Fenterthevoid.fm%2Fpost%2F158152319395%2Fseason-5-preview&m=1">Twitter</a></li> <li>Archive: <a href= "http://enterthevoid.fm/">enterthevoid.fm</a> </li> </ul>

SXE11: BLUE VELVET
<p>For our final regular episode of the podcast (yep, the whole thing) we finally come to one of the essential films of the mindfuck movie discussion, David Lynch's breakthrough as a popular artist, 1986's BLUE VELVET. Starring Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini, Laura Dern, and of course Dennis Hopper, it was highly controversial upon release, and soon became the favorite film of academics and critical theorists—not to mention the late David Foster Wallace—and today stands as a film classic. But how challenging is it 33 years later? What are we to make of the multi-layered symbolism, the sexual violence, how much was borrowed into <em>Twin Peaks</em>, Lynch's Reaganism, its 50-plus minutes of deleted scenes, and its place in David Lynch's filmography? For the last time, your hosts Bill and Renan take on one film and see where it takes them. Then in two weeks, we'll return for our grand finale, a recap / retrospective of the entire podcast project.</p> <p>Episode links:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090756/"

SXE10: GROUNDHOG DAY
<p>Our pick for this episode is not your usual, bog standard time travel psychological horror... but then again, maybe it is? Today we are doing GROUNDHOG DAY, the 1993 romantic comedy directed by Harold Ramis, starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell. A sleeper of a mindfuck, <em>Groundhog Day</em> warmed hearts and tickled funny bones when it debuted early in the Clinton era, but by the 21st century it had come to be recognized for its theological significance—and then YouTube got hold of it, and the rest is history. Today, we discuss: whether it's a proper mindfuck; how long Phil actually spends in the time loop; connections to Buddhism, Catholicism and Judaism; its relationship to Camus, Sisyphus and existentialism; its place in the comedy pantheon; plus: is Ned Ryerson actually the devil?</p> <p>Episode links:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107048/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Groundhog Day</em> on IMDb</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog_Day_(film)" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Groundhog Day</em> on Wikipedia</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/great-movie-groundhog-day-1993" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Roger Ebert 2005 review</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/07/style/groundhog-almighty.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NYT on <em>Groundhog Day</em>'s religious themes</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.nationalreview.com/2006/02/movie-all-time-jonah-goldberg-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Review cover story on <em>Groundhog Day</em></a></li> <li><a href= "http://mentalfloss.com/article/55243/8-creative-interpretations-groundhog-day" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mental Floss roundup of popular interpretations</a></li> <li><a href= "https://filmschoolrejects.com/27-things-we-learned-from-harold-ramis-groundhog-day-commentary-c229406e5d46/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Film School Rejects: DVD commentary highlights</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.ifc.com/2011/02/the-precise-number-of-groundho" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IFC: How long does Phil spend in the time loop?</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.shortlist.com/news/groundhog-day-fan-theory" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">ShortList: Is Ned Ryerson the Devil?</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.reddit.com/r/FanTheories/comments/5rrh2z/groundhog_day_ned_ryerson_is_the_devil_and/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Original Reddit Ryerson-as-Devil post</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.denofgeek.com/us/movies/groundhog-day/270682/how-groundhog-day-changed-dramatically-during-development" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Den of Geek on the original Danny Rubin script</a></li> <li><a href="https://philosophynow.org/issues/93/Groundhog_Day" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Faust essay for Philosophy Now</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.npr.org/2018/02/02/582852283/how-to-understand-the-philosophy-of-groundhog-day-and-live-life-by-its-message" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NPR on the philosophy of <em>Groundhog Day</em></a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/best-comedies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Empire ranks it as top all-time comedy</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6kXx674Evc" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Fan edit: Every Day in One Day</a></li> <li><a href= "https://news.avclub.com/this-recut-of-groundhog-day-from-andie-macdowells-persp-1825835533" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fan edit: How Rita Experienced <em>Groundhog Day</em></a></li> <li><a href= "https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fridge/GroundhogDay" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TV Tropes discussion about "we'll rent to start"</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_of_Tomorrow" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Edge of Tomorrow </em>on Wikipedia</a></li> <li><a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Doll_(TV_series)" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Russian Doll</em> on Wikipedia</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_Black" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Friday Black</em> on Wikipedia</a></li> </ul> <p>Show links:</p> <ul> <li>Subscribe: <a href= "http://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fus%2Fpodcast%2Fenter-the-void%2Fid1046983012%3Fmt%3D2&t=NTU4ZDRlYWNhOTJjMmFkOWUyMzg2YTU3ZTU5M2M3YjU4N2IzMGRjOSxkZ2pMdG1qcw%3D%3D&b=t%3Alkwwvy3XryueEyxDWxwKOQ&p=http%3A%2F%2Fenterthevoid.fm%2Fpost%2F158152319395%2Fseason-5-preview&m=1">Apple Podcasts</a></li> <li>Discuss: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/enterthevoidpodcast/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">ETV Podcast Club</a></li> <li>Follow: <a href= "http://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FEnter-The-Void-Podcast-1492493377734559%2F&t=Mzk1ODBjZGZlODI0OTM0ODVhM2Q4OTk3MzQxOTY5M2VlNWZkYWQyMixkZ2pMdG1qcw%3D%3D&b=t%3Alkwwvy3XryueEyxDWxwKOQ&p=http%3A%2F%2Fenterthevoid.fm%2Fpost%2F158152319395%2Fseason-5-preview&m=1">Facebook</a> + <a href="http://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.twitter.com%2Fenterthepod&t=NWY2ZDdmMDE4ZmVjZjZmNGE4OGUxMWEzZTUwZWVkODRhMDBlM2UyNyxkZ2pMdG1qcw%3D%3D&b=t%3Alkwwvy3XryueEyxDWxwKOQ&p=http%3A%2F%2Fenterthevoid.fm%2Fpost%2F158152319395%2Fseason-5-preview&m=1">Twitter</a></li> <li>Archive: <a href= "http://enterthevoid.fm/">enterthevoid.fm</a></li> </ul>
