Death In Entertainment - David Lynch Part I: The Mystery of Life (Episode 152)

02/13/25 • 70 min

Imagine growing up with a mother who banned coloring books to encourage creativity. In our latest episode, we embark on an eccentric journey into the life of the legendary filmmaker David Lynch, whose unique experiences shaped a mind capable of crafting surreal and unforgettable stories. From his playful childhood in Montana, where mud holes and moths sparked lifelong fascinations, to his profound realization that art could be a career, we explore what ignited his creative spirit.
Transitioning through Lynch's life, we paint a vivid picture of his time in Philadelphia, where he embraced chaos and fear, fueling his concept of the "art life." You'll hear how his environment, from gritty streets to Los Angeles sunshine, played a pivotal role in his artistic development. We navigate the rollercoaster of Lynch's career, capturing his breakthrough with "Eraserhead" and his iconic television debut with "Twin Peaks," a show that forever changed the landscape of TV drama.
Finally, we take a nostalgic look at the cultural phenomenon of "Twin Peaks," diving into the serendipitous creation of the sinister character Bob and the impact it had on actor Frank Silva's life. Listen as we reflect on the vibrant fandom that emerged around the show and the bittersweet stories of its cast and crew. Don't miss our lighthearted musings on what a Lynch-directed sitcom might look like, as we tease more mysteries and stories that lie ahead in future episodes.

Matthew Perry is dead at age 54 after a long history of substance abuse. He was found unresponsive in his hot tub after an apparent drowning due to cardiac arrest. More details to come on his exact cause of death.
Perry had a career filled with hits (a little show called FRIENDS...hello!!!), misses (best we forget THE WHOLE TEN YARDS) and everything in between (STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP). In 2022, he published a brutally honest memoir called FRIENDS, LOVERS AND THE BIG TERRIBLE THING, which focuses on his never-ending battle with drug addiction.
We were recording another episode when we got the breaking news about his death on 10/28/2023. This is our reaction. Could it BE any timelier? We go over his life and career, plus insane stories from his book.
