Well, Someone Else’s Movie is up and running on YouTube Podcasts now, and we’re back on track with a brand new episode, just as I promised you. Or is this just a disquieting echo of a broken promise from another time, come back to haunt me with terrible force?

Nah, it’s the first thing. But one could make a case for the second, given that this week’s episode features writer-director Tilman Singer, and he chose to discuss David Lynch’s neo-noir nightmare Lost Highway, which exists almost entirely as an invitation to deep readings and heavily symbolic interpretations.

Still, it’s all in good fun, and I had a great time exploring Lynch’s infinite darkness with Singer, whose fascinatingly bizarre new film Cuckoo opens across North America this Friday and features a great horror turn from Hunter Schafer and an absolutely delightful supporting performance from Dan Stevens in a polo neck. So go see that!

But first, listen to the episode! It’s in all the usual spots —  Apple, Spotify, the aforementioned YouTube Podcasts — and of course you can just download it directly from the web and listen to it while you gun your car down the freeway at top speed, trying to outrun the demons that will never stop pursuing you.

You should also catch up on your Shiny Things, as I’ve been busy going through a whole batch of July releases myself — Alex Garland’s Civil War and Moritz Mohr’s Boy Kills World, and Arrow’s new editions of Guy Ritchie’s The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Howard Hawks’ Red Line 7000 and The Nico Mastorakis Collection (ugh).

You need to be a member of the paid tier to read the Arrow stuff, but that’s easily solved: Just subscribe already! I’ll be right grateful, I promise.
