becoming friends with...blue velvet

'Three aging stoners stumble their way into David Lynch’s “Blue Velvet”… eventually.' In this wildly off-the-rails episode of becoming friends with..., Byron and Rene (both skeptical former film majors) welcome new friend Chris for a hilarious deep-dive that’s equal parts Lynchian cinema, VHS store nostalgia, bizarre high school stories, and chaotic reality TV takes. From Flavor of Love bathroom disasters to passionate defenses of the Gin Blossoms, it’s like hanging out with old friends who get high and accidentally forget they’re recording a podcast. It’s funny, weirdly touching, and surprisingly insightful — a must-listen if you’ve ever loved David Lynch, loathed film school snobs, or just miss talking movies in the video store parking lot.
