About this listen

This week, we review Eraserhead (1977), David Lynch’s nightmarish debut feature that defies genre and explanation. Jack Nance stars as Henry Spencer, a quiet man navigating a bleak industrial landscape, a strained relationship, and the surreal horrors of unexpected fatherhood. With its haunting black-and-white imagery, industrial soundscape, and grotesque symbolism, Lynch’s cult classic plunges deep into anxiety, isolation, and the fear of creation, both literal and existential.

Is it a descent into madness, or just parenthood with a Lynchian twist? Listen on to find out!
