Hello everyone!! Long time fan, first-time “caller” belle🎀 here! Does anybody here have a discord channel I could join— This episode and all things spooky season🎃 inspired me to reach out to some people to see if they would like to write a little song together. Xoxo belle

Really
Henry Massey
CONGRATULATIONS DAVID & FORKY!
BENJAMIN SHULTZ
I’m glad Crispin Glover got to be in at least one Lynch film. He has a great creepy clown song too.
Aaron Anaya
I think they were a bit harsh on Lady Blue Shanghai. It’s 15 minutes of Lynchian atmosphere about Marion Cotillard being haunted by a purse. It rocks.

Im mad you didn’t watch all of Dumbland. I like Dumbland, it would have been right at home on Adult Swim at 2am in the 2000s. It’s absolutely crude and absurd.
Josh Darby
The music section in particular I enjoyed.
Josh Darby
To Ben: yes, this episode was fun :)
Jack R
everybody everybody
Chase Janak
Loved the Homestar Runner shout out.
Peter Klaven
😂😂😂 that crazy clown time video was pure wickedness WTF
Zach Zweifler
I would love to spend an afternoon with Lynch watching vids on Ebaumsworld.com
Colin Roy
These Are My Friends on Crazy Clown Time is a pretty solid track
Marty TC (child-sized Cardassian)
Happy Canada Day!
Chauncey Telese
My dad is a hot sauce fanatic and DA Bomb was regularly used in our house. He made me try it and David is 100% right.

I’ve sooooo been waiting for this! Love Lynch’s everything, but especially his music! We’ve only covered Lost Highways soundtrack on my podcast but we’ll soon be watching along to Lynch’s music videos both as a performer and director!
John Cicco
I’ve always loved Lynch’s definition of Crazy Clown Time: “It's a situation that happens when several people get together and drink a lot of beer. Some people feel it's kind of sinister, to me it's not. It takes them to a deeper place of fun, a crazier place of fun, a higher place of fun. People will create like crazy on a Saturday night.”
Christopher Teuma
STRIKE THAT, the Crazy Clown Time video has the same motifs!, as the Duran Duran concert.
Trevor McCandless
totally chill and normal episode for a chill and normal day.
Fresh Dill
lol I saw “victims of sin” in a theater this weekend and the criterion logo played before the screening. I can imagine David attacking the screen if he had been there
Max Carwile
Very validating to hear the July 4 (lack of) release discussion. I spent all summer complaining about this.
Owen Phillips
That narrative about Netflix vs Coda was fascinating, I never thought of it that way before
Christopher Teuma
BUT, the one missing great work is the Duran Duran concert.
Christopher Teuma
I love all of this stuff so much and am so happy we're going this deep.
Christopher Teuma
And On The Air is pure fun, and pure joy. AND weird and creepy and existentially askew.
Christopher Teuma
Dumbland is HIGH. ART.
Jordan B. Anderson
it made me feel a pang of nostalgia that i was really surprised by
disk-kun, the mascot for the famicom disk system
i see a shit head
disk-kun, the mascot for the famicom disk system

“Culture grew so big again for a minute that it could let him (Lynch) back in” was I thought very well put
Amos Happ
But full disclosure, I also super duper love Dumbland
Amos Happ
I really hope they watch On the Air. It’s insanely insanely funny at times. Like can’t breathe funny
David Massey
Adore all of this mess
Jordan B. Anderson
i'm looking forward to watching these incredibly normal works
