Double Bill Chill
Two movie-obsessed buddies (Spike Alkire & Jake Kelley) pick a movie every week to cover at length and then each pairs the chosen film with yet another film. Three movie recommendations a week (and probably more). Our episodes are researched and we go pretty in-depth on the breakdowns. We love doing it, and we thank you for listening! Enjoy!

Episode 1
Somehow, David Lynch's film career arrived fully formed with the surreal black comedy, "Eraserhead." This episode kicks off our "Films of David Lynch" season. First, we discuss the man himself, and why we are so excited for this season, and then we get in deep with "Eraserhead." We discuss the history of the film, its long production, and its uphill battle to be finished. We then dive into the film giving our interpretations as well as cautioning over-explaining Lynch. We hop you enjoy this as much as we did making it.
Thank you so much for listening!
