The Popcornhead Podcast
Welcome Kernels and Cornheads to The Popcornhead Podcast!
Each episode we will be analysing a different film, past or present, the good, the bad, and the sometimes ugly. We’ll talk pre-production, filming, our own thoughts, any historical context, and the occasional wormhole, things can get a little weird around here.
So if you enjoy film analysis from an often comical perspective, this is definitely for you!

Blue Velvet (1986)
This week we are looking at David Lynch’s Blue Velvet!
Blue Velvet is a film that’s hard to categorise in the traditional sense. There are various elements going on when you look at it from mystery, Neo-noir, psychological horror, thriller, surrealist, dreamlike, but when you take all these elements and cook them up in David’s signature style you’re left with Lynchian.
Blue Velvet was arguably the film that would set the tone for the remainder of David’s filmography, including of course the TV series Twin Peaks.
