Hearing Kyle MacLachlan talk about his experience working with David Lynch during his visit to the Criterion Closet (which I really recommend you watch) is incredibly heartwarming. Despite the commerical and critical failure of David Lynch's Dune from 1984 - which Lynch himself hates - Kyle was overjoyed and grateful to hear that the director had chosen to work with him again (he showed MacLachlan the script for Blue Velvet during the filming of Dune in fact, intending for him…

Bāhubali: The Beginning 2015
Extremely tone-deaf, awful acting, mostly-terrible and inconsistent special effects, the writing is bad, it's WAYYYYYY too long. This was my introduction to Bollywood movies, please do not think I have bad taste, it was a pick for a podcast, so don't think I like these type of movies, please. Got it? Good. 😌
