Episode Blue Velvet (1986) | Ep. 54 - Part 1

0:00 1:22:21

A studio gave David Lynch final cut on the condition he took a pay cut and worked cheap. The result is one of the most disturbing films ever made by a major distributor. Luke, Westy, and Matt begin the story.

In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director David Lynch, the cast, and the second act — including the severed ear in the grass, Kyle MacLachlan's curious everyman, and the menace Dennis Hopper brings to Frank Booth.

Stay out of the apartment for now. Part 2, covering the crew, the finale, reception, and the film's legacy, is available now.
