LynchPins is a new David Lynch-themed podcast from Maggie Mae Fish and Adam Ganser. Episode 1 is available on YouTube, Nebula, and your favorite podcast platform.
go.nebula.tv/lynchpins
LynchPins is a David Lynch-themed podcast covering a different David Lynch film each month, from least-Lynchian (The Straight Story) to his most "Lynch" work (Inland Empire?? Eraserhead??). Hopefully we can make Lynch's work more accessible to those who've been too intimidated to get into him, but there's also plenty here for the Lynch superfan (you know who you are, you weirdo). Hosted by Maggie Mae Fish and Adam Ganser.
This episode covers Lynch's 1999 family drama, The Straight Story, starring Richard Farnsworth as an old man who drives a riding mower across multiple states to reconnect with his ailing, estranged brother.
Every episode on Nebula is uncensored and extended, plus they drop a week earlier than YouTube. Join us next month for The Elephant Man (1980).

Hi, Film Bro Barbie! Let's talk about the many references to the work of Stanley Kubrick that pop up in the Barbie movie! Greta Gerwig uses his films, particularly 2001: A Space Odyssey, to comment on all kinds of stuff! Also, Kubrick LOVED the cinematic grammar of commercials!
Thanks you to@Princess_Weekes for lending me her voice!

Join me, Maggie Mae Fish (she/her), as I explore the history of labor in Hollywood and the House Un-American Activities Committee that led to blacklists. It’s all sadly relevant! From “woke” panic to “cultural marxism,” it’s all the same as the far-right teams up with literal gangsters to crush the working class.

11:32 House Un-American Activities Committee
13:58 The Hollywood Blacklist
20:49 Those Dang “Woke” Communists

Join me, Maggie Mae Fish, on my hero's journey to defeat the dragon known as Joseph Campbell. His "Hero Cycle" dominates Hollywood screenwriting, but also our everyday lives, and how we see ourselves. Plus, he sure doesn't seem to like women! Except Ayn Rand--YIKES! What was Campbell's ideology? What does his monomyth do?

Some of the criticisms of the June Motel in this video are heightened for comedic value, and should not be taken literally.
