  • BP231 Redux: Mulholland Drive
    2025/01/17

    Best Pick with John Dorney, Jessica Regan and Tom Salinsky

    Episode 231: Mulholland Drive (REDUX)

    First released 19 October 2022. Rereleased 17 January 2025 in tribute to David Lynch.

    We lost David Lynch this week at the age of 78. In tribute to this giant of American cinema, we are rerunning this episode in which we looked at his 2001 slice of LA Gothic Mulholland Drive.

    For this episode, we watched the 2001 David Lynch film Mulholland Drive, starring Naomi Watts, Laura Harring, Justin Theroux, Robert Forster and Ann Miller. This film began life as a TV pilot and was eventually repurposed by Lynch as a one-off feature film. It was suggested by Patreon supporter Joel Aarons, made it on to our shortlist and came top of our Patreon poll, by a narrow margin.

    Twenty years, 16 postcodes, one city. In her debut storytelling show, Jessica Regan (BBC, Channel 4, Guilty Feminist) shares lessons lived and learned from a life in no particular order.

This is a journey through an impenetrable city with an all-too-open heart. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you rent cos you can't afford to buy...
