A Place Both Wonderful and Strange: Remembering David Lynch
This week we are pausing our release schedule to pay tribute to the godfather of our podcast, the late, great David Lynch.Usually on our show, we talk about movie scenes. But for this dedication, we've selected a handful of clips of Lynch–the man, not his movies–to discuss. It's our hope that by sharing his voice, and connecting over his philosophy, all of us can find some comfort in the tragedy of his passing.We have a channel dedicated to Lynch in our Discord if you're looking to connect with us and other listeners about the legendary filmmaker who inspired this podcast: https://discord.com/invite/RssDc3brsxNext week, we'll return to our regularly scheduled programming. In the meantime, keep your eye on the donut.-----------Credits:Eye of the Duck is created, hosted, and produced by Dom Nero and Adam Volerich.This episode was edited by Michael Gaspari.This episode was researched by Parth Marathe.Our logo was designed by Francesca Volerich.
