Episode 116
“In Heaven, everything is fine.”
After spending his youth pursuing "the art life," David Lynch dipped his toe into the medium of film with his shorts THE ALPHABET and THE GRANDMOTHER.
With THE GRANDMOTHER, he received attention from the American Film Institute, who invited him to move to the West Coast, where he'd spend a whopping five years working on what would become his feature film debut, ERASERHEAD.
In this episode, we'll discuss the creation of ERASERHEAD, through all of its ups-and-(many)downs, its mysteries, its near abandonment, and how it nearly didn't receive a release at all before being "discovered" by Ben Barenholtz, who turned it into a bonafide hit on the Midnight Movie circuit, forever altering the trajectory of Lynch's career.
