Hello fellow travelers! We are back around the table to continue our David Lynch marathon. This week, we tackle what Lynch has called his "most experimental film". The Straight Story is a 1999 road movie about a man going to visit his brother. Yet, there's so much more to it than that. And to help us talk about this story, we are joined by Oklahoma-based film critic Daniel Bokemper. So, gas up your lawn mower, hitch up your trailer, and join us at the analysis table for our discussion of The Straight Story.
