Dan had never seen David Lynch’s surrealist masterpiece ‘Mulholland Drive’, so he watched it with James (who rates it in the top 10 of his favourite movies) and they recorded a podcast about it.

It’s a mind-bending trip down the rabbit hole of Hollywood, but as 'Mulholland Drive' serves up a cinematic labyrinth of dreams and reality does Lynch's perplexing narrative keep us guessing or lead us only to confusion?

In a change to our usual format, it’s James who has seen the movie before, whereas it’s a first-time viewing for Dan.
