Next, Chris (@gokuffy) selected one of his favorite directors and one he's watched through everything multiple times, David Lynch. Joining us, as always, in this journey was Chris (@antoniuspius). Having only seen the same two films between us (Blue Velvet and Mulholland Dr., unless memory serves incorrectly, which it often does) while Chris had seen his entire filmography provided a different and interesting view into the director and exploring his works.

We did a set of six David Lynch shorts prior to the Eraserhead episode, but I figured the first feature would be better representative of our thoughts on the man himself.

Our first foray into any single director's work was Akira Kurosawa. And thus, our first podcast ever was on Sanshiro Sugata, which we paired at the time with the much worse Sanshiro Sugata 2.

Chris (@antoniuspius) had yet to join us at that time, so it's just Chris (@gokuffy) and me (@taiikumenco).
