Episode 130 - The Straight Story

Special guest Brad Gullickson returns to Missing Frames to help Shawn celebrate episode 130 with Brad's first time watch of David Lynch's G-rated Disney film The Straight Story. Shawn and Brad discuss why this masterpiece has gone overlooked for far too long, and why, despite its more straightforward, low-key nature, it is still undoubtedly a David Lynch film. Shawn and Brad also discuss the film's heartbreaking meta-moments, including but not limited to lead actor Richard Farnsworth's failing physical condition during the film's production, and make a heartfelt pitch to Criterion to get this film in its collection ASAP.HOSTSShawn EastridgeBrad Gullickson
