Here are two English creatives on a journey of sight and sound. This time we're making a run of film reviews. Now, we're not sticking to the rules of talking only about what is popular or hot in the cinema.
We have a responsibility to find all kinds of films, especially those that may be slipping through the gaps, or movies that we love that nobody seems to remember. So from old to the new, from the bizarre and the downright bad. We're going to sit through all that we can, and we invite you to listen to our banter: coming from not only film fanatics but as lovers of the craft.
David Lynch really knew how to challenge himself. He never made the same movie twice, and surprised us with many choices. You never knew what he could get up to. We might not have Ronnie Rocket or other projects that went with his passing, but we have classics to own for the rest of our lives. The Elephant Man, along with The Straight Story, turned out to be his most mainstream success story, and firmly put him on the map, and ultimately the path of greatness.
We also talk about the passing of Gene Hackman who was also a painter in his own right. Gene weaved a tremendously memorable tapestry of film roles and made sure we never forgot who he was when he made his entrances.

S12E02 - FRAME BY FRAME - ERASERHEAD
Continuing our tribute to David Lynch by talking about the movie Eraserhead. Now I have to apologize for the movie sound of Eraserhead that appeared to drown out Stephen's words, but we managed to hopefully pepper this rather short episode with some great interviews with Catherine Coulson (otherwise known as the Log Lady in Twin Peaks) Jack Nance and David Lynch. They are the ones who made Eraserhead possible, and there is nothing we could say to make the experience any more relatable than what you can find in their interviews on Youtube. So this is a short one. Next time, we will do much better.

S12E01 - FRAME BY FRAME - The Short Films of DAVID LYNCH
We begin a very special tribute season dedicated to the one and only, boy from Missoula, Montana who became the painter with a vision. We navigate through his early years specifically lining up his sudden realization that he was an artist. The moment that captured his interest in filmmaking followed shortly after, no pun intended.
We talk about the early short films, SIX MEN GETTING SICK, THE ALPHABET, THE GRANDMOTHER & THE AMPUTEE.
We will always think fondly of David Lynch, because he thought so much about goodness. He transcended the human spirit.
