In this special Valentine's Day episode of Mysterious Going On, we shuffle the usual schedule for an early-season watchalong with film critic Lucas Hardwick. We fire up the Blu-ray and watch Lynch's crazy 1990 flick, WILD AT HEART.
Lucas, a critic for "Apes on Film" and "Scream" magazine, brings his expertise to bear as we also discuss works such as BLUE VELVET and MULHOLLAND DRIVE, examining Lynch's stylistic choices and their impact on the viewing experience.
The conversation touches upon themes like acting, direction, and the use of visual motifs, with a particular focus on WILD AT HEART and its relationship to THE WIZARD OF OZ.
You're invited to join in on the watchalong, to enjoy commentary that will accompany the film. For those deeply embedded in the discussion of film and the idiosyncratic vision of David Lynch, this episode is a must-listen full of rich, engaging banter for film aficionados.

In today's episode, we're exploring the timeworn theme of
the rise and fall of empires, a topic that has captured many imaginations. Joining us is Gregory Michael Nixon, whose youthful fascination with the myths of Bronze Age Greece has flourished into a lifelong scholarly pursuit. Now in retirement beside the tranquil Okanagan Lake, Nixon has channeled his knowledge
and enthusiasm into "The Diomedeia," a novel that transports us to
the aftermath of Troy's fall and into the decline of the Hittite Empire.
The "Bronze Age Collapse" comes to life through
Nixon's narrative, weaving historical events with the legendary deeds of Diomedes and the multifaceted Peoples of the Sea. The novel promises a journey where ancient myth and history converge, celebrating the enduring legacy of a legendary hero.
