Summary

We travel to Lumberton to plumb the dark depths of David Lynch's BLUE VELVET (1986), in which good and evil are forces that are intertwined - and not a strict dichotomy. We discuss how critics then and now have received the film's provocations, and our own relationships to Lynch's work. PLUS: red states vs blue states, Joe Biden's cabinet, and Tim Allen's discovery of Marxism.

communist manifesto Wikipedia. That was his next tweet.

1:11.3

And Carl spelled with a C, which he corrected in the tweet after that.

1:15.2

So, okay, can you explain to me?

1:17.3

I'm glad you brought this up because, I mean, I saw those tweets last night like everyone else.

1:22.1

But I don't really understand what he's doing here.

1:38.3

Right. I don't know what was happening, but the tweet after that, he says, I am sure Mr. Marks would have made adjustments
