We return this week after a month away! In this time of COVID-19 as we all shelter in place, we have finally figured out how to harness the technology to record remotely! And, with Joshua's baby finally home from the hospital, this should mean episodes rolling out weekly once again. We have decided to only watch films available on major streaming platforms (Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon) for as long as stay-at-home orders exist. The first film in this series is "The Straight Story", the quiet masterpiece directed by David Lynch.  A few notes and links pertaining to this episode: 1) 1. TW: This episode has references to suicide and a mention of rape, both within the context of film. If you are feeling alone or depressed and have thoughts of self harm, please PLEASE call a trusted friend, therapist or the nation suicide hotline at 1-800-273-8255. 2) This is the promised YouTube clip of Lynch refusing to explain Eraserhead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjoMEw2RYlA 3) This is the first episode that I (Joshua) have attempted in-depth editing. I tried my best to cut out the "boring" spots and silences. I also bleeped the swears. Why? Well, firstly, it allows the podcast to be played in more places. And, secondly (and more importantly) I think bleeps are hilarious and often more funny than the actual swear. And, I'm the editor, so f**k off. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/breadwinemovies/message
