Episode 19: David Lynch ( w/ Bill Ackerman & Courtenay Stallings)

It only felt right to dedicate another episode to David Lynch. In February, I put out an episode documenting a Lynch marathon that I co-organized, but that wasn't enough Lynch in my book, and so I approached two bonafide Lynch experts with the goal of having a more in-depth conversation about the filmmaker. Bill Ackerman is a film writer and the host of the fantastic ⁠Supporting Characters⁠ podcast as well as a special podcast dedicated to Blue Velvet called ⁠From the Neighborhood⁠. He's undoubtedly one of the best film podcasters full stop end of story. Courtenay Stallings is a film historian, the editor of the Twin Peaks themed Blue Rose Magazine and is also the author of Laura's Ghost: Women Speak about Twin Peaks. Her dedication to spotlighting Lynch and her access to Lynch's world is astounding. We discuss Lynch’s persona, his career throughout the years, the importance of Laura Palmer, the life changing powers of Blue Velvet, and a lot more.Show Notes:Bill Ackerman's Podcast Supporting CharactersFrom the Neighboorhood – Blue Velvet PodcastSupporting Characters InstagramCourteney Stallings InstagramLaura’s Ghost: Women Speak About Twin PeaksBlue Rose MagazineDavid Lynch’s Unrealized ProjectsFestival of DisruptionRoom to DreamMark FrostMulholland Drive (2001)Brian De PalmaKimmy RobertsonSabrina SutherlandThe Shrouds (2024)Hotel Room (1993)Lumiere and Company – David LynchVideo WatchdogInland Empire (2006)David Lynch Keeps His Head – David Foster WallaceThe Sixth Sense (1999)The Straight Story (1999)Atom EgoyanDuran Duran: UnstagedAngelo BadalamentiThe Secret Diary of Laura PalmerPeggy ReaveyThe Alphabet (1969)The Grandmother (1970)Six Men Getting Sick (1967)Dino De Laurentiis Dune (1984)David Lynch & Mel BrooksAlejandro JodorowskyWerner HerzogBody Heat (1981)Blood Simple (1984)Crispin GloverBlue Velvet (1986)Wild At Heart (1990)Eraserhead (1977)Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992)Cult Movies: v.3Cut!
