TGB Breakdown Ep 7: Lynch's Mulholland Dr. (Guest: Film Crit Hulk)

by Tim Buel
August 24, 2012

On this episode of The Golden Briefcase Breakdown, Tim & Jeremy are joined by Film Crit HULK (@filmcritHULK) from Badass Digest for a spoiler-filled discussion about David Lynch's 2001 film Mulholland Dr., starring Naomi Watts, Justin Theroux, Laura Harring and Robert Forster. The main purpose of Breakdown episodes is to to ponder, discuss and challenge the films that we feel often need more than just a simple review. We breakdown the film to discuss plots and theories in order to better understand the director's vision and hopefully challenge our listeners at home to re-evaluate the way they watch cinema.

Extra episodes of TGB Breakdown will be arriving about every month, and will appear here in addition to all of our regular weekly Golden Briefcase episodes. Beware - every episode of TGB Breakdown will contain SPOILERS for the film in discussion (this one on David Lynch's Mulholland Dr.). You've been WARNED!

You guys really should have had someone on with you who did not like the movie as well. Just to give some contrast of opinion. As it stands now, that whole episode sounded like one big Mulholland Drive circle-jerk.

  We don't necessarily do these Breakdown eps to argue about the films in question....simply to discuss them. Just something to keep in mind

Double bill this film with Lost Highway. They're twins.

it's just a synopsis of the movie for people who go to movies and don't notice things like the POV shot of someone falling asleep in the first scene. now one could say it's the best synopsis ever, but it's still just a synopsis. Do INLAND EMPIRE next month!!!

For some reason, bad word of mouth perhaps, I just avoided Mulholland Dr. Perhaps if I had seen it back in 2001 I wouldn't have been able to get my head around it, now however with the benefit of a dozen years of critical thinking on it I can approach it and thanks to your outstanding program discover a new favorite film...thanks
