Episode 185: David Lynch Watch Series #6 (WILD AT HEART, 1990)

"If you are truly wild at heart, you'll fight for your dreams.."This week on the podcast, we head back to the David Lynch Watch Series and discuss his beguiling, romantic road crime film: WILD AT HEART! We discuss this film's connection to the book; the very heavy Wizard of Oz references; the amazing Nic Cage/Laura Dern chemistry; the deep roster of Twin Peaks cast cameos; the soundtrack; and just how goddamn COOL this movie is. Before that, we run through some discussion topics, new releases, and what we watched this week.Next episode we discuss Spielberg's THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK.TIME STAMPS00:00:00 Introduction00:06:24 Shout outsNew pics released for Taika Waititi's 'Klara and the Sun' adaptationRIP Gene Shalit (1926-2026)00:11:28 New Releases: Disclosure Day; Toy Story 5; The Death of Robin HoodWhat We Watched This Week00:16:08 Disclosure Day *spoiler discussion* (Magill)00:22:41 All things BATMAN (Magill)00:37:33 The Mandalorian and Grogu (Curtis)00:40:33 Never Let Me Go (Curtis)00:41:33 Fear Street: Prom Queen (Curtis)00:44:28 Backrooms (Curtis)00:50:22 NOCLIP (John)00:53:14 A Self-Induced Hallucination (John)00:56:50 The Black Tower (John)00:59:28 The Devil and Miss Jones (John)01:05:07 Eaten Alive (John)01:08:10 The Boxer's Omen (John)01:11:08: The Beyond (John)01:13:48 Hell Up in Harlem (John)01:17:01 WILD AT HEART Discussion02:04:20 Our Scores for TWISTER02:12:28 What's coming up next?CREDITS AND PLUGSIntro: Wicked Game (Instrumental) - Chris IsaakOutro: Gewandhausorchester Leipzig - Im Abendrot (from Wild at Heart OST)https://johnnycakes.substack.comFollow John on Letterboxd—@johnnycakes91Curtis: https://www.the-back-row.com/ - check out 'Runstedler's DVD Pick of the Month'https://curtisrunstedler.ca/Dr Curtis Reads: https://www.youtube.com/@curtisrunstedlerhttps://www.magillfoote.com/Magill's produced podcast: https://www.trailwentcold.com/Magill and Grant's games store: https://taigainteractive.itch.io/Check out Magill's contributions on Rue Morgue magazine! https://rue-morgue.com/Check out Magill's wife's new book (The Widow's Charm): https://caitlynpaxson.com/
