Episode Synopsis
Woman Inherits the Earth: Mulholland DriveIn this, the Mulholland Drive episode of the pod, in honor of David Lynch, Beth and Tess discuss one of the greats of strange dream-logic cinema: Mulholland Drive. Topics include how Lynch plays with genre and expectation, what a trip Mulholland Drive is for a first-time Lynch viewer, a bit of Twin Peaks, a few secret cabals of powerful men, the dualities of Betty/Diane and Rita/Camilla and Betty/Rita and Camilla/Diane, Rebekah del Rio, an unexpected connection to The Fifth Element, and whether trying too hard to pin down this movie might not be missing the point.Lynch’s interview with the Criterion Collection: https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/3771-lynch-on-mulholland-dr?srsltid=AfmBOorwx8-2A2D0T2fCzj1wx43tf3SfHV0EzwzKM8kOwAa2NGHOxffcContent warning: some adult language, discussion of sex and implied violence.A note about spoilers: As much as we’d love to make this a spoiler-free podcast, the truth is, we can’t really get much of a discussion going without completely spoiling the plot of the film we’re talking about. If you don’t want to be spoiled, watch the movie before you listen to us.Special thanks to aceinet, who recorded our intro and outro song, “Floyd Filtertron DA Shuffle.”PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/WomanInheritstheEarthFind Tess at https://www.tessadair.com/Find Beth on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/stl_writer_beth/ or on Facebook at bethvonbehrenWRITER.#feministpodcast #feminism #podcast #moviepodcast
