Mulholland Drive (2001)

<p>In advance of its 20th anniversary, we're dipping into the beautiful, surreal world of David Lynch's <em>Mulholland Drive</em> (2001).</p><p>In keeping with the film, the episode adopts a non-linear format as Trace and Joe track the Betty/Rita storyline, then double back to discuss Adam, before finally digging into the extra footage Lynch shot when the project switched from TV pilot to film.&nbsp;</p><p>Expect plenty of discussion about how great both female leads are, which Hollywood director Adam reminds Trace of, Joe’s ongoing obsession with <em>Showgirls</em>, and talk of how goddamn gorgeous this film is.</p><p>Plus: Speculation on a shared cinematic universe with <em>Southland Tales</em> and <em>Alias</em> S3, Trace's dislike of Noir, and the hilarious reason why Monty Montgomery’s line delivery as the Cowboy is so unnerving.&nbsp;</p><p>References:&nbsp;</p><ol><li>Justin Holliday.
