Mulholland Drive

David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive (2001) is in the same neighborhood as Billy Wilder’s Sunset Blvd and asks us to think about similar ideas: the power of self-delusion, the seductive nature of fame, and what happens to a dead dream. Join Mike and Dan for a conversation about what they call “red arrow videos� on YouTube and what good directors know about their audiences. We all know that movies are illusions—but we keep falling for them anyway. So grab that blue key and give it a listen! Just watch out for the man behind Winkie’s.
